Band Geek Hero Shirts

Fashion for Proud Musicians

— July 17, 2008 — Tech
Prefer practicing with a real band to plunking aroudn on plastic Guitar Hero or Rockband instruments? Be proud of your real musical talent with the Band Geek Hero T-shirts!

They punch up shirts in funky colours with slogans integrated with the Guitar Hero logo, emphasizing real life instruments. For classical string musicians they have the Violin Hero, Bass Hero, Cello Hero, Viola Hero and Harp Hero. For members of orchestra bands there are shirts like the Triangle Hero, Cowbell Hero, Tambourine Hero, French Horn Hero, Trombone Hero, Saxophone Hero, Bassoon Hero, Drumline Hero and Flute Hero. The company didn't forget anyone, however, including T-shirts reading Accordion Hero, Mandolin Hero, Kazoo Hero, Piano Hero, Banjo Hero, Ukulele Hero, Harmonica Hero, Trumpet Hero, Sitar Hero, Harpsichord Hero, Recorder Hero, Sousaphone Hero, Conga Hero, Synth Hero Glockenspiel Hero and Bagpipe Hero.

Last but not least, there are also the Beatbox Hero and, the one I would buy, Karaoke Hero shirts.

Embrace your, wait, I can't generalize by saying geekiness, since many would argue gamers are the biggest geeks out there... be proud of your musical geekiness with one of these fantastic shirts from Torso Pants. At only $18 a shirt, you can suit up your whole band, even on a budget!
