David Bazan hits the road

Tour starts October 1st.

Undertow Music:

"Please help Bazan buy a van!

David is about to go on his first tour with a band in four years. The old Pedro the Lion van has gone to van heaven. We need your help to get a new touring van. In an effort to raise money for the new van we are offering a very limited edition shirt designed by Chris Kro.

100% of this sale will go directly towards the purchase of a touring van.

Shirts go on sale Thursday, September 10 at Noon and we'll take orders until Thursday, September 24 at Noon. After that they are gone forever. No re-prints. We'll ship all orders on Sept 25th."

Liquid Courage, baby!

Working on a new shirt for our friends over at Liquid Courage. They are a talented bunch and always bring us awesome artwork. Their work can be seen on bodies all over town. Stop by their shop, say hello and buy one of these beauties. While you're at it, stop into Tops Boutique in the basement and say hi to Sarah. All kinds of cool stuff there, including posters and slipmats printed right here in our shop.

Small World. Simon Joyner.

So I ran across a poster the other day I'd been trying to track down for a few years. It was for a show I'd played with Mayday and Neva Dinova at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City in 2005.

So I contacted the designer/printer, Dave Bailey of Mount Pleasant based in Manchester, UK. I emailed about the poster and he says "hey, you're in Omaha. You know Simon Joyner? I just designed a shirt for him"


Know him? Its on my press as we speak....








Crazy World! Always fun to make new friends:

Maha Music Festival

This Saturday is the Maha Music Festival on Lewis and Clark Landing Front and we printed up some posters for it. Dashboard Confessional, G Love and Special Sauce and Big Head Todd and the Monsters are some of the national acts. Get there early and don't miss out on the local talent opening the show. Some of Omaha's finest were voted by the public to appear on the stage: Little Brazil, Its True!, Noah's Ark was a Spaceship, and the Jes Winter band.

Girl In A Coma plays some Texas shows!!

San Antonio's Girl In A Coma play a few Texas dates at the end of the month. They are signed to Joan Jett's Blackheart Records. We went to see them play when they were in Omaha a few months ago. ROCK!!! If you've never seen them, don't miss it.
Here's their new merch. It can be purchased at their shows or at their webstore

Amazing Baby, Monsters of Folk and some local flavor

Brooklyn's Amazing Baby reordered shirts. This print is huge!! Other cool stuff we've printed for them can be purchased here.



Monsters of Folk (aka Conor Oberst, Jim James, and M Ward) are putting out an album soon and we printed some promotional shirts for the release on Shangri-La Music. Their tour starts this fall.

Christopher Halbkat of the Bemis Press sent over some of his design work for Busch Electric. Examples of his work (web, print, identity and letterpress) can be found here. More from him to come.






Local artist, skater and card shark Scott Blake remakes his ever-so popular barcode "beer" koozie. You can buy one among his other work (i.e. flip books, coffee mugs, t-shirts and more) at Barcode Art.

Doe Eyed Design does it again!

Eric Nyffeler can't seem to make a bad poster. This is his latest for the Tortoise show at the Waiting Room October 1st. They were amazing last time, I can only assume they've gotten better. You can buy Eric's posters at Gigposters.com in the classified section or at select shows locally. For instance, tonight.....he'll be slingin his new Magnolia Electric Co poster at the Waiting Room. Go buy one! Now!!!
