Back in the day, when Baboon, Billy Goat, and Brutal Juice roamed the venues, and that security guard punched Kurt Cobain in the face, an archetype emerged:

Disheveled hair, ratty blue jeans, 3/4 baseball tees, ubiquitous Vans, and a badass guitar.  The guy in the band!

There he is, under the spotlight, cranking smokin’ tunes in smoke filled rooms for tens, dozens, scores of concert-goers. The stages were small but those seminal bands created a big, big sound, and a unique look, echoes of which are still heard and seen on Deep Ellum stages today.

T.C. Oliver’s design, Smoke, captures the angst and grit of those brave, talented souls who sloped on stage one Dallas night and made music history. Get yours today!
