Genre Revisited

At some point in late 80's a duo of untold genius and musical prowess took the midwest by storm, sweeping up fans like dust particles from Indiana to Pennsylvania.

This is the last known tshirt from the epoch, hand-painted by one of the band members.

Although it is showing some wear and the weight of the years (unlike, of course, the perpetually-youthful musicians who created it), the magic of the era lingers still in it's cottony folds.
