#PUNK ROCK MERCH FULL#

In turn, Cinder Block offered a full line of girls apparel, hooded sweatshirts, skateboards and more designs for T-shirts.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬inder Block started in 1989, when Bischoff teamed up with the singer of Tilt, a woman who called herself Cinder (now BischoffР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s wife, Cynthia), to sell T-shirts on BerkeleyР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s Telegraph Avenue.

Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўThe first three days (of the third tour), we had outgrossed what the other company did in the whole tour,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Bischoff said, adding that his company knew the audience wanted more than just extra-large shirts. BischoffР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s old band, Tilt, played on the first tour. Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўJeff has always understood that.Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬inder Block has handled the merchandising for the Vans Warped Tour for eight consecutive years now, starting with the tourР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s third year. Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s always been the punk rock thing, where you live off your T-shirts,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ said Kevin Lyman, founder of the wildly successful Vans Warped Tour, which will enter its 11th year this summer. Merchandise was the main source of income.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В®ven today, Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўmerch sales, both retail and at shows, is the one source of income we can count on,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Carson said. Carson recalls that on AFIР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s first few tours, their advance for playing shows was maybe enough to cover gas and some food. Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўIt varies from genre to genre, but among independent bands and especially punk rock bands, merchandise is really the only way they make money,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ said Adam Carson, drummer for AFI, a successful Bay Area punk band.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›FI has been a client of Cinder Block since the early 1990s, when the band was just starting out. And since Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўmerchР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ can be more profitable than record sales and concerts, especially for up-and-comers, the bands themselves couldnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t be happier. Some would say band merchandising is more popular than ever. To handle future growth, the company will triple its space when it moves into a new 90,000-square-foot facility later this year near Coliseum Way and 66th Avenue in Oakland.
