Welcome back to another edition of MERCH PARTY – a weekly round-up of all the best band merch comin’ to a venue near you, ’cause supporting your favorite artists in more ways than one is just part of bein’ a good fan! Let’s get into what’s good RIGHT NOW:
December 12th + 13th
Perfume Genius @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
I am very, very amped for Perfume Genius’ show at Music Hall of Williamsburg, especially since Lydia Ainsworth is opening, and she is one of my favorite musically-inclined humans of all time. Performance specs aside, I would be more than glad to receive this Scully shirt, which combines my love of PG and X-Files, as a holiday gift via the online shop:
December 13th + 14th
Com Truise @ DC’s Flash and NYC’s Output
Com Truise’s Iteration was one of my favorite record releases of 2017, and I think this week’s Flash and Output sets are gonna be REAL GOOD. I am also v. into this cap, because I am trying to gradually reintroduce color into my (typically) all-black wardrobe, and I feel comfortable with this shade of orange:
December 14th
Chris Fleming @ Black Cat
Chris Fleming (while not technically a band) is genuinely one of the funniest people alive, and he’ll be at Black Cat in DC on the 14th. (I know, because I interviewed him.) The show is currently sold out, but rest assured, you can always order a $50 personalized video message from Gayle Waters-Waters online!
December 14th + 15th
Angel Olsen @ 9:30 Club
Angel Olsen is inarguably one of the best performers of our time, and Saturn is inarguably one of the best planets that is not Earth. So it only makes sense that we should all purchase this sweatshirt to keep us cozy during these long AF winter months:
December 15th
Big Freedia @ Brooklyn Bowl
It’s Freedia Fest 4.0 at Brooklyn Bowl on Friday, and I am AMPED. But even if you can’t make it to the show, you should *probably* grab one of these dope talking keychains so that BF can be with you ALL THE TIME! The keychain says catchphrases such as “RELEASE YOUR WIGGLE” and “YOU ALREADY KNOW”! Kind of amazing:
