Last Friday I went to visit Love Police, and left with a severe case of office envy.
For those out of the loop, Love Police have been around since ‘96 touring and promoting bands, designing everything from cover art to posters and producing band and event merchandise - basically, they’re the behind-the-scenes team who work super hard at convincing your favourite bands to come to Australia to play.
But this wasn’t what impressed easily-pleased me most - oh, no. BT (the owner) has the most insane collection of band merchandise I have seen. Ever. In my whole life. Nirvana cap from their first tour? Check. White Stripes USB sticks? They got ‘em. Framed playlists from Sonic Youth? Of course!
That’s him with the guitar, rocking out with Andy who works in touring (and also plays bass in You Am I). They play in a band called The Gypsy Curse. BT ran that name by some real gypsies who gave it the a-ok.
