But, can I just say, I am just about over this economy crunch!!
Its really fucking up the fashion world, with everyone looking for the cheapest deal and complaining about prices. Well, we have listened and, to help out our customers, we have lowered many prices, including our entire Jeans/Denim collection and introduced affordable new groups like “Batz n Bones”. Our quality, of course, remains great and our designers keep supplying the hottest new styles, such as our Steam Punk groups, which keep getting better and more popular. I think we are making the best of a bad situation and, until things get better and the economy improves, Lip Service is still the best cure for your flat busted blues!!
We received a surprise visit last week from one of my favorite punkers of all time the king of D.I.Y Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi. He was in town for a visit and, as it turns out, his wife is friends with one of our new Kill City designers. Since he remembered Drew from back in his punk rock days, playing for Americas Hard Core and Crucifix, they decided to stop by and say hi. He is truly a cool guy and it was a blast hanging out and talking old punk rock, touring and band stories with him and Drew!! I couldn’t help being a bit star struck, as were a few others from LS, and we couldn’t resist getting a photo in the parking lot to document the experience!

The new Jetboy Ep “Off Your Rocker” is starting to blow up and after an interview we did for an east coast radio station they posted the interview on their blog and received over 18,000 hits that registered for listening to the entire show!!! (Check out the interview!) We are Playing the M3 Festival on June 19th with The Scorpions and Cinderella and also a big festival in Kansas plus some local dates. A European tour is in the works now, too! Check the JetboyRocks website for tour dates and up to date info.
Cold Blue Rebels, my Psychobilly band, will play on May 7th in Bakersfeild with the Chop Tops. We are enjoying a rare weekend off this weekend, so maybe I’ll see you out and about or maybe I’ll just hibernate with my girl and some dvd’s!!
Until next time!
