Today is September 22nd, which means tomorrow is the 23rd, and Thursday is the 24th, and Friday is the 25th, which, if our reasoning is correct, means we are THREE DAYS AWAY from the release of DODGE AND BURN, the new record from THE DEAD WEATHER. That sounds to us like cause for celebration, so we have planned just that for this Friday. Do you have the day off? Do you want an excuse to take the day off? Come on down to our headquarters in sunny Nashville, TN and toast to rock n roll with your friends in yellow, black and white.
Beyond new Dead Weather wares (some of which are VERY fancy!) and tasty treats, we will be creating limited edition (meaning, FRIDAY ONLY) super-soft t-shirts in three exclusive designs using the "Dodge and Burn" printing technique after which the record takes its name. The technique (as demonstrated in the video below) uses varying degrees of opacity on a stencil and good, ol' sunlight to imprint an image onto a surface — in this case, a t-shirt. The Dead Weather may be "sun people" after all.
Here's the full list of what we've got planned... though, knowing us, there may be a few surprises up our sleeve/in our stacks. The fun begins at 10am, and lasts as long as our supplies do.
- VERY LIMITED EDITION While-U-Wait Dead Weather ultra-soft t-shirts "DODGED AND BURNED" (Cyanotype) made before your eyes!
- New Dead Weather Merchandise!
- Champagne toasts!
- Cupcakes!
- Beer & Corn Hole on the Patio!
- Instant Photos (OF YOU!) shot by Angelina Castillo!
- Mas Tacos Por Favor Food Truck!
So, stop on by during the day on Friday to toast to the launch of one of our most electrifying releases to date and hopefully take home some one-of-a-kind finds! If you can't make it Friday, we are giving away free Dead Weather t-shirts with a purchase of $20 all week! See you soon!
Im wanting rhe tee that has the band carrying alison over their heads
Sure wish I could’ve traveled to Nashville for this… Sounds like so much fun. I’m really excited for (and jealous of) all those who get to attend. :-) Like @athinkingcat, I celebrate and toast you all in spirit.
I want a shirt so bad. Can’t leave Atl today though :(
Hey third man I know my little local shop is way tiny and crazy far north. But maybe next time RPM Records up here in Traverse City Michigan orders think of us few loyal fans up here we like swag and supporting our local record shop too. Its run by two really nice guys. Thankfully I have some really nice friends in the Detroit area that helped me out. But would have love to buy a copy from my local shop.
Have an amazing day all don’t cop and go be the impossible winner. Shake your rumps! don’t be still that would be a buzzkiller. Buy a three dollar hat , feel love, dodge and burn babys burn. Cheers(lifts glass of imaginary champagne( today I celebrate with you all in spirit!
Tracking my long awaited package on its way down under… Exciting times!!! It’s left Miami for its international destination (warning ⚠ prone to bursts of extreme excitement at random intervals) lets hope Australia post decides to deliver every day next week lol #Dodgeandburn #cominghome
The cast and crew must be excited for the launch of this LP by now so I am hoping they will get creative with the various tshirt designs including the pocket style series by mr. Swanson… Maybe a few rounds of musical chairs would get some fans jumpin or a new backdrop for the photo booth!
Dangit! Why can’t this be next Friday when I will actually be in Nashville. Oh well, y’all have fun!
Awww, I wish I could be there. That sounds awesome :(
Awe too bad everyone works on Friday And I have to go to school!!! At least I’ll get the t shirt at Best Buy.
