   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Sunday, 19-May-2024 17:52:21 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   I have finally dragged on clothes, so welcome to #ShirtCheckSunday !

   Today's shirt is Ashenspire's Three Months to the Gutter tee, art by Hagiophobic.

   They're an avant-garde red/anarchist black metal (RABM) band, and Hostile Architecture is one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, and upholding the rule that all metal bands with saxophones are good.

   If you're near London in the UK, they're playing at Desertfest at the Electric Ballroom this afternoon at 14:30.

   Listen to them: https://ashenspire.bandcamp.com/music

     @HauntedOwlbear bold of you to assume I've put on a shirt today, Owls

     @DarkestKale sounds like someone needs a nice chest piece or something, for those formal shirtless occasions

     @HauntedOwlbear my #ShirtCheckSunday is from Dream Phases, a nice psychedelic garage band I saw a few years ago :)

     #Alt4You A light skinned person is wearing a plaid shirt over a black Dream Phases t-shirt. A dark-suited figure walks down an illuminated corridor, bare lights visible on the ceiling. Rings radiate out from the corridor towards the viewer, the band's logo also positioned to follow the path of the corridor.

     @riff No worries, and thanks for adding it! I have a lot of blind and partially sighted mutuals, so I always add alt text posts for anything I want to RT anyway. :)

     @GinevraCat Yes, I have definitely not seen any of these at Hawkwind concerts. 😉

     It's great, btw!

     And this isn't a band-shirts-only thing, although that's what it mostly was on Twitter.

     All kinds of fit are welcome - it's just nice to see people talk about clothes that make them happy.

     @HauntedOwlbear Mine is I'm-not-an-old-hippie tie-dye. I wear my shirts until they fall apart and I've probably had this one for 30 years. I have no band T-shirts, so this is what you get.

     @damianogerli Fuck yes. I adore this. I'm going to subvert my own hashtag one day to show off my Sonic baseball jacket that I've had pristine since the 90s because I literally never wear that kind of thing and have no idea where to start.

     Going to have to start inviting my oomfies to style me at this rate.

     @HauntedOwlbear but speaking of shirts, I was pretty amused by the fact I went to the gym a couple of days ago wearing a Machine Head "The Blackening" shirt while (randomly really) listening to the Blackening.
     It was like:
     - what you listening to?
     - *POINTS AT SHIRT*

     @HauntedOwlbear obviously no one came up to me to ask, so I just sat there and quietly amused myself.

     Which definitely sounds like my average day.

     @damianogerli I have so many witticisms to share with the world, if only people would invite me to do so. And give me 20 minutes to get the wording just right.

     @HauntedOwlbear Cheating slightly since this is yesterday's shirt, but I love it so much that I wanted to share it today!
     This is my Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 #AGDQ shirt, starring Velocity, who is just such a great mascot that I want all her merch. (Hey, it goes to charity. I'm helping!)

     @HauntedOwlbear sorry I could have posted a link ... but then you wouldn't have had the fun of tracking them down. They're brilliant. I saw them on the first night of the tour that the t-shirt is from. (just realised I forgot to alt text the pics... tusky edit to the rescue).

     @s it's really good. The Law of Asbestos leans into increasing noise to accompany its rage and despair, but there's huge range to tracks like Cable Street Again and Beton Brut.

     @s

     Here's my bandcamp profile if you want to have a mooch. https://bandcamp.com/13hirteen

     This week I've really enjoying the Kalia Vandever, Unreqvited, Pirate Queens, Sangre de Muerdago and Kall albums, for very distinct reasons.

     Also really looking forward to the forthcoming Zeal and Ardor LP.
