This Time Last Year.
LOUD& OBNOXIOUS was in the midst of production for our debut Fall 2007 line. We were pulling all nighters, along with all day-ers, early morning snacks of Spam, eggs, and rice, delirious humor due to the fact that sometimes we would be awake for 48 hours or so. On top of all that we were juggling our various band schedules. It's strange to look back and see how far we've come. Last year we were printing out of Vince and Matt's garage. Things have changed now.
Before:
Now:
We have entered the City of Industry for our production needs.
I don't know if all of you out there remember our Fall 2007 line. But here's a quick run through (for reference).
Ape Shit, still one of our favorite tees. There's only 30 or so pieces in existence (I don't even have one!). I've actually seen some of these popping up lately. There's a little Warhol and a lot of L&O.
L&O Smiley and Colorfade Exclamations, we were crazy about colorfades at this point, even printed little colorfade bar logos on the back. The Smiley tee is a rare one, maybe 20 or so odd pieces in existence. The Colorfade Exclamations was our very first exclamation tee and we've pretty much ran with it since!
Live Loud, graphic designed by Josh Principe. Also limited (25 or so in each colorway). Very detailed sketch of a skull with an Indian headdress. On the scroll it says," Live Loud", because we feel you need to go by life with a can-do attitude and one must be able to speak their mind, or they will perish. Just Kidding. Cool shirt nonetheless.
Last but definitely not least, Fast Times at High School Musical. Up to this day, we still get e-mails and Myspace messages asking if we have the tee still in stock. I've seen a couple go on eBay for quite the pretty penny. Probably safe to say one of our fastest selling tees ever.
There you have it, our debut line and a brief run through. We started with no idea on how to start or run a brand. So we've pretty much done it the best way we know how, pave the way and do it our own way. We wrote our own story with no ending in sight. Ladies and gentlemen, this year is the true beginning of LOUD& OBNOXIOUS as you know it. Stay tuned for the "Second Coming" and thank you for your continued support, none of this would've been possible without you.
