Description


Originally known as The Boys Next Door, The Birthday Party was an Australian post-punk band, active from 1977 to 1983. Their eponymous debut album was released in 1980, showcasing bleak and noisy soundscapes, which drew irreverently on blues, free jazz, and rockabilly, and provided the setting for vocalist Nick Cave’s disturbing tales of violence and perversion. Their 1981 single “Release the Bats” was particularly influential on the emerging gothic scene. Despite limited commercial success, The Birthday Party’s influence has been far-reaching, and they have been called one of the darkest and most challenging post-punk groups to emerge in the early ’80s.

Details


Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing


Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
