Would you buy local band merch?

[vipergod2000]

How many of you would actually, with proof that you have previously purchased local band merchandise - BUY CDs, tees, whatever?

Now i'm not interested in trying to cultivate a xxSUPPORTLOCALSCEENExx notion.

What would make you purchase a certain band's merchandise at a show?

 

[LadyInTears]

yes im trying to find a ronin cd now..

 

[vickomaniac]

If I like the artist/band.

 

[zamir666]

if they have good music, I'd get their cd. if they have cool t-shirts which are in my size, i'd get 'em too. :mrgreen:

 

[THOA]

I don't buy any merchandise, local or overseas. Just their CD.

It is only when they come to Singapore and totally blew me off my feet with an awesome show, I will swear allegiance by buying a tee.

Example: Slipknot :mrgreen:

 

[optisailor2002]

i got a few local band cds and 2 aots shirts xD

hoping that a draconis shirt comes out soon, am sure to get one for myself when it does!

 

[zhaf93]

And i'm still waiting for my A Vacant Affair teeshirt

 

[pedialite]

Would get the shirt if its nice.
Won't buy CDs. Listen on myspace la haha!
Will go gigs to listen/dance/sing/mosh instead

 

[kerplunk182]

I have a few local band tees. I buy them if the design is nice or if they have my size. The rest were given to me by friends. Oh and pins too

And yes, i carry 2 pairs of Etymotics.

 

[VAEVICTUS]

If i find the music good, i definitely will. I have a number ov Singaporean made music on me cd rack!

 

[Donaldsps]

- WMUM T-Shirts
- A Vacant Affair EP
- The Fire Fight Pin
- Rosli Mansor Dragged

Looking forward to get Brandon Gan's Instrumental EP, Vermillion's and For Better Ending's EP.

 

[biopromax]

I love collecting Button pin Badges. All on my cap now.

I buy albums which appeals to me. Personal Interests tho. And some free compilations.

 

[vickomaniac]

I'll be honest, I think the only local band/artist that i've liked enough to buy the cd and merch is Rosli Mansor.
So... call it's overkill, but it's all good!

Badges and Patches

I also have a badge on my dSLR's strap
And of course I bought his cd, and a shirt too!

Pizza Head Man ftw!

my local bands cd collection

Bhelliom! \m/
So far the only local band merch I've bought is a Lunarin T-shirt but I don't mind buying local band merch as long as the band is great. It's not about local or not, it's about the quality of the band/artist that makes you want to show off to the world that you listen to them.
