Miss Mia and Ratso jump with Busy Beaver Button Co. and ActionBooth for souvenir buttons
Surfer Blood, Kurt Vile, Neon Indian, The Smith Westerns…the list of awesome bands that rocked Pitchfork this weekend goes on and on.
Busy Beaver Button Co. made souvenir buttons for fest-goers and buttoneers along the way, like Miss Mia and Ratso from Chic-A-Go-Go pictured above.
The new button bin was in action at the CHIRP record fair, too. Cardboard Sangria, HoZac, and Polyvinyl offered buttons as a way to catch peoples’ attention in the vendor tents.
Self-proclaimed “secret society” Colossal Squid sponsored wi-fi at Pitchfork and offered cool buttons to the relief of many, and even designers Souldier and Tiny Media Empire displayed neat buttons to the delight of their fans.
The Chicago Reader sponsored the bicycle parking lot at the fest, and released a new one-inch button design of a Reader-powered bike for participating cyclists.
Thanks for all the eye candy, everyone! Click here to hang out at Pitchfork for a recap. Click here to visit BusyBeaver.net
Black Tambourine album out now on Slumberland Records features a button on the cover
What better way is there to express a band logo on a record cover than a one-inch button on a jean jacket?
Here you see the Black Tambourine album out on Slumberland. It’s a release including all the early 1990s twee jams, plus six previously unreleased tracks in a unified collection here.
Black Tambourine absorbs shoegazer cues from Jesus and Mary Chain with the enormity of the Phil Spector wall of sound to create a dreamy resonance that influences contemporary east coast bands to this day, like the Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
Grab the reissue on vinyl here from Slumberland here, where you’ll notice the record cover is a matte finish and the button is shiny! Who makes the Black Tambourine buttons? Click here to find out.
