Band Geek Heroes: T-shirts for every sort of musical dweeb

I was amused when someone told me about the tuba hero shirt, but my jaw dropped when I saw 50 other designs. BandGeekHero.com has an entires site devoted to guitar hero parody shirts and they have every instrument you can think of didgeridoo hero?  bagpipe hero?  and they’re all in color and available in a million sizes and colors.  I just received my saxophone hero shirt and it is very, very nice.

   You know….Make the slant on the “H” a little more pronounced and straighten the left side of the “O” and you it spells what everyone will read when they see it. “Nerd”. Just sayin is all…..

   Wow, these shirts are brought to us by Torsopants, the same guys who also sell shirts at T-Shirt Hell. This is the site they created to sell their inoffensive shirts.

   I am torn, my sister was a viola virtuoso, and she is addicted to Guitar Hero, so there is a shirt that seems like a perfect gift for her… But, she is the manager at the West Hollywood American Apparel, so it is hard to imagine her needing any more shirts.

   Alas, the Band Geek Hero t-shirts are no longer available. Nor does it seem like they will be coming back. ‘Tis a sad day indeed…

   Ugggh, I am embarrassed by my spelling. No Xylophone Hero.

   No “Balalaika Hero.” FAIL.

   No Zylophone Hero or Jew’s Harp Hero.

   Whoa! They actually have Recorder Hero! Perfect! A shame there’s no Viola de Gamba Hero (my other instrument), but at least they also have Harpsichord Hero. I don’t play the harpsichord, but most of what I do play ends up having a harpsichord accompaniment.

   That is fantastic, it really is.

    What a shame, there’s no “berimbau hero”.

    What?!?!?! No ‘Washtub Bass’ Hero?
    Howabout ‘Comb and Tissue paper Hero’?
    and ‘Armpit/Hand Fart hero’?
    ‘Marimba Hero’?

    I’m so ashamed ….
