Just feels funny to say. But yeah a company reached out to offer us free customized condom tins with our logo, and I recognize a lot of the other bands they work with so its on the up and up. Gonna sell them for a few bucks at shows to get money for mixing and mastering the new shit

Wow you're sponsored and by SEX HAVERS no less, you need to abandon communism right now.

I'll turn myself in to the volcel police.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

Good, best you do. disgost

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I would absolutely work that into promoting them via stage patter.

"We've got condoms at the merch table, we weren't using them so we figured we'd slap a logo on em and try to sell some here.'

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Oh fuckin totally. Or when someone wants to grab a tin, "I dunno, sure you're gonna get a chance to use these?" As a playful rib

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

I dunno really if people are gonna be buying condoms at a merch table at a show, but it is for sure a good way to get people to stop at your merch table

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

It's more the tins for them that are a novelty. The condoms are just regular branded condoms, the case has our logo

How does it feel to be a sellout poser?

Just kidding, if people think your band can sell condoms, I guess let em pay for that privilege.

My friend's old crust band who were all addicts would get paraphernalia dropoffs from a local harm reduction center (they are amazing, they do a round each week and will come to your door and see if you need pipes, rigs, etc), they put band stickers on needles and etched their logo into crack pipes and gave em away (selling them would be fucked)

That's super cool actually.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah I feel good about promoting something positive as opposed to "uh Yeah heres a shirt or a tape that's what we got"

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

given the only other band i know that sells sponsored condoms is HEALTH, you have to continue to follow in their footsteps and start selling band buttplugs too

also consider getting the fromsoft logo tattooed across your chest and have no other tattoos whatsoever

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Too late for that last bit, getting p covered >.>
