Rockabilly Pins and Buttons
Description: Two words. That's the whole argument. "Burning Love" is one of Elvis's most ferocious recordings — a song that doesn't negotiate, doesn't slow down, doesn't explain itself. This typographic design takes that title and renders it in red on white: clean, direct, nothing to distract from the weight of the phrase. Some titles work on their own. This is one of them. It doesn't need context. It is the context.
Description: Rockpile were a British rock band of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Noted for their strong pub rock, rockabilly and power pop influences, they were a foundational influence on new wave. The band consisted of Dave Edmunds (vocals, guitar), Nick Lowe (vocals, bass guitar), Billy Bremner (vocals, guitar) and Terry Williams (drums).
Description: Orion was not Elvis Presley, but in the wake of the King of Rock and Roll's death, Orion didn't discourage the notion either. Performing under a mask, and sometimes even singing Elvis tunes, The Man Who Would Be King rode the coattails of Presley's star long enough to become a cult figure and the original Masked Singer.
Description: Paul Albert Anka is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and actor who has composed hundreds of songs, including international hits. His hits include “Diana,” “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” “She's a Lady,” and “My Way,” which he wrote for Frank Sinatra. Anka also wrote the theme song for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1962. His music has influenced many musicians and contributed to the sound of modern pop music.
Description: Ever wish you'd seen Wayne Cochrane & His C.C. Riders perform live? I do. And if I had, I would definitely had gotten a souvenir tour shirt to remember it by. This is a recreation of an awesome shirt that promoted a 1970s show. Cochran was soul singer popular in the 60s and 70s with a performance style that was nearly identical to the other soul godfather, Mr. JB. Cochran wrote the song "Last Kiss" and appeared in the 1970 biker film, C.C. and Company. Oh yeah, he had the most amazing hair you've ever seen, too.
