Amber Easby Q&A - Post your questions here!

[higherlimits]

White Swirl is pleased to announce that Amber Easby has agreed to do a Q&A with us.

Amber is the official Merchandiser for the White Stripes and Raconteurs (I'm not sure about the Dead Weather...) and is in charge of all the merch sold both in concert and online. She became the merchandiser for the White Stripes in 2003 but was previously involved with the band in other capacities. She organized what she says was the best White Stripes show ever on November 13, 2000. On November 13, 2000 she not only organized but created the poster for what she claim is the best White Stripes show ever. The show took place at a Pizza Pizza in New Zealand. Capacity was 60, attendance 180.

In addition to Amber's White Stripes work she has also written the book "The Art of the Band T-shirt" with her husband Henry Oliver.
From Amazon.com:
"T-shirts were just unadorned undergarments. But with the evolution of screen printing and the birth of band merchandising, T-shirts became so much cooler. Now every band with an ounce of savvy knows the importance of T-shirts not only as a lucrative sideline but also as a means of self-promotion and a way for fans to show their allegiance.

The Art of the Band T-shirt is a visual history of that perennial fashion statement, complete with nearly two hundred images of the mostimportant, influential, iconic, and ironic T-shirts. It includes shirt images from artists as diverse as Led Zeppelin, the Ramones, Madonna,Morrissey, Public Enemy, and the Flaming Lips, each with a caption thatincludes historical background, little-known facts, or an artist's comments about the design.

A fascinating, beautifully illustrated archive for hipsters, fashionistas, serious collectors, and all music fans, The Art of the Band T-shirt is as indispensable and classically cool as the perfect T-shirt."

The person with the best question as determined by Amber will win a brand new copy of "The Art of the Band T-shirt".

Questions will be accepted until October 2nd!
