Band merch Post

Posted by Linda on July 2, 2010

Lots of bands on Warped sell rubber bracelets for $5 with words on them like a song title, album title, or just the band’s name. And while it seems really egotistical to me, it’s actually quite common for band members to wear their own bracelets. Charities such as the breast cancer organization Keep-A-Breast also sell wristbands to raise money — Tay Jardine owns one of their “I Heart Boobies” bracelets. Of course there’s always the option of buying bracelets from Jac Vanek, who has a booth at Warped Tour, if you want to spend twice as much and have your money support a groupie rather than a charity or a band.
