Since I have helped run a venue for 5 years, many of the bands that have played have traded their shirts for Super Happy Fun Land shirts...so I have wound up with a bunch of t-shirts for really obscure bands...many of which..I don't even remember what they sound like...these bands include the Mathematicians (most awesome band in the universe)
http://www.themathematicians.net/
Plok (some band from Denmark)
the Ebb and Flow (another really great band)
the Snakebites
the Yarbles (because Flakey used to be in a band called the Yarbles)
i could go on and on...

The only mainstream band t-shirts I have....lets see....I have a White Stripes tee (i truely love them and got to see them right before they really took off..)..but the shirt was a souvenier from one of their bigger shows later on..a gift..I did not see the show..

A Flaming Lips Yoshime t-shirt....from a thrift store...too big....and another one that is too small now(i have seen the Flaming Lips upwards of 7 times...
Electric Frankenstein....I saw them a few years ago, but found the t-shirt at the thrift store several years later...a really nicely done shirt....a signed Dresden Dolls shirt....um....i wear it anyway.....a Rocky Erikson t-shirt....from when I recently saw him at a Crawfish Festival...way expensive.....

I love the art of the t-shirt....I design and screen my own....and have taught a few people how to make them....Done properly, they can help bands network and make money....

do you have some example pictures?
i have read quite a few tutorials about selfmade screenprinting but never came around trying it on my own. not yet, that is. also, i wasnt able to find out whether skinny shirts are good to print on, whether there is ink that works better on stretchy fabrics etcetera...

I just hate it when there's a band that I love and all their shirts are oog-lay. Then I see uber-awesome shirts for bands I hate. DX
