Product Description
In 1999 some friends and I drove from Greenville NC to Raleigh to see The Fucking Champs. There was a new venue called Kings Barcade and lots of bands at the time were trying to get back to rocking out MC5 style after all the pretension that seemed to dominate the underground rock scene of the mid to late 90s.
The Cherry Valence opened and it felt dangerous. They were sexy, full of energy and completely un-apologetic. The place went crazy. A year later I moved to Raleigh; a decision heavily influenced by that show. When we had the chance to do a record for TCV in 2005 “TCV3” we jumped at it.
I’ve always loved this Brian Walsby rendering of The Cherry Valence. It was initially published in his first MANCHILD book back in the early 2000s. Brian recently sold this drawing and when I saw it posted online, I immediately contacted everyone to see if we could make a shirt happen. They all said “OK” so here you have it! Turn It On Up!!! -Charles Cardello/ Bifocal Media
