More photos soon.  3/4 length sleeves on a tight but light pull over.  We have three sizes: 40, 42, and 44, which roughly correspond to small, medium, and large, but as the shirts are surplus, there is a lot of variance by size. Subtle variance in the darkness of the green too.  Lots of credits for this:

  • Vintage/surplus shirts by the Germans!
  • Logo by Jeremy Boyd, as seen on this poster
  • File preparation and print concept by Jim Potter
  • Printing and  quality control by Flytrap (Jody Cedzidlo)
  • On sale now at Roulette Vintage – $15 bundled with a sticker and a copy of Growler
  • And available directly from the band until we run out

We’re returning to WUAG’s Radio Greensboro show this Sunday night at 8:00 pm.  Listen locally on 103.1 FM or through the station’s online stream.

We last did this show in the middle of the summer of 2006 – Carter and I were then playing as a duo just before Nick joined.  We promise we’ll be louder this time, if a little loose after our summer break!

Hello friends-

Ghost Mine is a collection of songs I’ve written and recorded by myself over the last few years.  Some of the songs are even older, but all are fresh, well-rehearsed takes, focused and simplified into acoustic guitar/bass/drums arrangements.

I’ve been sitting on this stuff for awhile, but got Nick’s help with some post-production and mixing over the past year – this really pumped new energy into the recordings, and I’m now happy to share them.  Let me know what you think! Thanks – Andy
