Hi folks

I haven't posted in a while, but I found this website and had to tell you all about it.

http://www.torsopants.com/bandgeekhero

I'm a keen learner harpist, but I also love playing Guitar Hero on the PS2 and Xbox 360. It was with much delight then, that I found a website that did this t-shirt:



The website has a whole load of instruments, so you could have a t-shirt that declares you a Cello Hero or Mandolin Hero or whatever. I've ordered the Harp Hero one.

I hope this tickles you as much as it did me.

cheers

Thanks for this link, Shaolin Monkey! Predictably, my son is bowled over by the clarinet t-shirt - I suggested it might be a little tacky, but he thinks it is wonderful. I feel an order coming on...

I got mine the other day, and despite choosing the wrong colour t-shirt I think it's quite amusing. My partner thinks I'm sad, but heigh ho. I'm just happy I've found a t-shirt that reflects my love of harps and computer games!!

I'll have to post a pic sometime.

How do you select instruments??

It's not very clear is it Elisabeth? I found the option up on the top bar.

(I ordered the viola one - I couldn't help myself!)

NO, it jolly well isn't! I tried all sorts of options on that AWFUL scrolling top bar of theirs, but just couldn't find what I was looking for. Can you remember anything specific Allan?

I've just been back for a quick look and they now have all the instruments on the page given in the first link. Just scroll down and you'll see the viola one (if that's what you're looking for) on the right hand side. Then click on it and you'll be taken to the page where you can choose colour options and sizes.

Good luck!

(if you can't find it - click on this link to go to the pricing / sizing / colour page for the viola shirt

Thanks, I've bookmarked that so I can order one when I have spare cash to waste on crazy junk!!!

I'm very disappointed - they've taken the harp hero one down! I was going to get one in a different colour, as I wasn't as keen on the brown as I thought I'd be. I've emailed them, and they've just said it is no longer available. Bah!

Does anyone know if you can still get these at all? I tried the link, but they don't seem to be there any more

Sadly Torsopants.com closed down. There's a new company in its place, but it doesn't sell the same products (just sells shirts with really cheap jokes based on some smutty loser's idea of what humour is - including particularly hideous ones such as a baby's t-shirt saying : All Daddy Wanted was a B**w Job. How charming, let's hope the two year old that ends up wearing it doesn't get her belly button ring caught in it...)

I just managed to get my viola hero one before they went.

As they're no longer in business, you could perhaps get a local T-shirt printing shop to make you one up ?

Why didn't I see this before!!! I want one shame they've closed down I shall have a google later and see if you can get them anywhere else

EDIT: Yes, some of the designs on the new site are horrendously crude!

Ah well, thought it might be worth a try

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get one earlier too. I guess I waited as I didn't really deserve the title of 'Viola Hero'!!!!!

You can now spend the money you've saved on viola music

Had a google, and can't find anything but links to the old, now removed sites I think we should start a forum shop and sell them there hehe

Yes, it is a shame the site went under. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers of Guitar Hero found out and got them to stop. I only managed to get one 'Harp Hero' t-shirt from the site before it closed, which is now my most prized t-shirt. So much so I'm loath to wear it, for fear of wear and tear!!
