BOSTON: TELL US PLEASE. What specialty Dolls+Gogol merch should we make?

Hallo loves

We’re in the midst of prepping merch for the massive Dresden Dolls shows with Gogol Bordello in Boston next month. TIME TO POLL.

(Reminder if you haven’t got tickets, the shows are HUUUUGE – about 7,000 tix across both nights – Friday 1st tickets are here and Saturday 2nd tickets are here and 97% sold out)..

The venue – Roadrunner Boston- is gorgeous and spangly new and state of the ar and if you haven’t explored it yet, you’re gonna love it. Ignore the name, I must as well, for it is triggerering as fuck, if you know you know.

But LEWK

We are making song lists and planning hijinks and getting ready to welcome and entertain 7,000 human beings of all stripes, ages, sizes, colors, genders, you name it. This is family. And? COME DRESSED TO IMPRESS. FREAK. FLAGS. FLY!!

NOW, to the merch-making!!!

These items will all be LIMITED EDITION and available ONLY AT THE SHOWS. This gorgeous poster art was commissioned just for the show, done in true punk cabaret style by NYC painter AE Kieran of Club Cumming fame, I met him through Lance Horne and he’s an absolute DOLL. We designed these sexy denim jackets because we thought…we have never done merch jackets before and it is FALL and getting CHILLY. 🍂🥶

Also in the works: basic t’s in alllll sizes, hoodies, tea towels, mugs, art prints.
Now: your turn, so we know how much to make and print!!! We will – as usual – try to source our shirts and fabrics as ethically as possible while trying to keep the prices not bananas.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON, PEOPLE?? Tell us in the comments.

If you want one of the speciality items to get made, VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

We don’t want to end at the end of the show with 50 boxes of leftovers…. so before we submit full order numbers, I thought I’d bring it to you guys.

TELL! TELL!!! WHAT DO YOU WANNA SEE ON THE MERCH TABLE?

Here’s some mock ups of what we are making.

T-shirts and hoodies (and prints!) are gonna get made no matter WHAT, so they’re not in the poll.

VOILA….

Our first ever BLACK JEAN JACKET!!!!

Ze Hoodie!

UND ZE TEE shirt! Allll sizes…..

Mug FOR ALL PURPOSES INCLUDING COFFEEEEE

And YAY, we did this ages ago with some solo merch but….Tea Towel!

PRINT!

We’ve set up a poll at the bottom so you can vote for your FAVORITE THING here…..

We’ll be using this poll and comments to help guide us on how much we should print, so PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ONLY IF YOU ARE COMING TO THE SHOWS IN BOSTON!!

And sound off in the comments if you want to buy more than one item, OR….want one of everything!

Me and the rest of the team are readin’ them comments. HOLLA.

If no one wants a mug or tea towel, we may not even print em. We need to have a minimum run sell out and the numbers have to WORK.

……

OLDE MERCHE SHOW-AJACENT MARKET SALE!!!!

And also for those of y’all coming to the shows in Boston, we’ve been looking through the archives of OLD, OLD merch that’s been hanging around, and we’re putting together a plan to have a very big MERCH FIRE SALE around the weekend of the show… It’ll be somewhere in Boston (very possibly AT THE VENUE ITSELF, on DAY TWO!) and I’ll be swinging by and hopefully doing a little something for patrons too….more details to come, yay!!!!

OK TALK TO US
