YACHT, DFA's newest addition, have amazing merchandise. I mean, wow. They come into town with anchors emblazoned, full bleed and metallic, and the next day everyone you know and their uncle is showing off their new ironic threads. I mean, check this shit out:
Does Andrew Lloyd Webber know about that that shirt? And that album of Nirvana covers with Bob Marley on the cover -- Courtney is gonna crap her panties. Get there early and come with $50 to blow on new clothing and accessories, and leave as soon as you're bored with the jams (it's alway been around song two or three for me). But seriously. Their merchandise is AWESOME.
Oh, and longtime collaborator Adam Forkner, of Portland's psychotropic White Rainbow, will be joining YACHT on tour this time, too. Check it:
