Melvins Merch

[jules]

So does anyone know if they're actually taking merch with them when they come up to Canada?

It might be worth us Europeans stocking up on merch to sell to the Canadians in case there's none for sale there.

Thinking about it, as Melvins Lite are touring fairly extensively in Canada, I'd say tentatively that there must be something for sale. Surely?

i just asked them on the facebook and the reply was "Canadian customs FROWN on product being brought with bands"

Well now they can frown the fuck off (not the melvins the customs ass clowns), why does the Canadian/U.S.A boarder be all crappy like

Someone needs to organise. Call Melvins. Offer to produce shirts in Canada for the tour. Come to some arrangement. Meet Melvins with Canadian-built merch on the first day of the tour. All parties nod appreciatively. Ching ching!

Or isn't it that simple?

i was just actually thinking of offering to be a Canadian "merch mule" so to speak , if i could get stuff sent up here and/or made and then trying to get it to the band/shows/fans , if it is too much of a problem to physically bring it when they cross the boarder

Seems to me (though I could be wrong), if the shirts are made in Canada, the tax has already been paid. If Melvins, ahem, used the money to buy (Canadian) fuel for the trip home, ahem, I think I'm developing a cough.

That's a pretty good idea! someone here has connections to the band, right? They should totally do this! Even if the end result means that everything is super expensive, I wouldn't mind, and I'm willing to bet a lot of other people wouldn't mind either

Make coady wear all the shirts at once when crossing.

I doubt they will BRING merch with them because Canada charges bands up the ass for that kind of thing. But - they may have special merch created IN Canada for the tour?

For anyone that cares they had BOTH GPT and  TBATB letterpress last night in Charlotte.......
also the only size of the bat tour design shirt left is Mediums......

[Baacard0]

Would anyone be kind enough to be able to pick up a copy of each of the letterpress CDs and a normal copy of The Bulls And The Bees for me at an upcoming show?
I live in England, so can't really get hold of this stuff any other way (the UK shows I've been to have had rather sparse merch tables).

DC picked up an Endless Residency set for me on the last tour and that worked out nicely (thanks again!).
Will paypal costs, p+p etc.

PM if you can help!
Much appreciated!

[John Schuller]

I did not see any normal Bulls and Bees at the shows I went to. I think you will need to contact Scion to get it?
