WEIRD, WACKY &WONDERFUL
With a little imagination––and sometimes extra cash––items like these can be custom-made:
CASKET & KETCHUP
KISS http://kissonline.com
The band that made merchandising an artform has to be mentioned. In fact, KISS has so many unusual items for sale it’s mind blowing. The caskets and urns are understandable––but the “Hotter Than Hell” ketchup is mind-boggling.
BALLOON
Mister Balloon http://misterballoon.com
Balloons are always fun… You can even have your name/logo printed on them. As mentioned, Jack White’s label Third Man Records used balloons to distribute one of his singles.
CAT HEADPHONES
Deadmau5 http://deadmau5.com
Deadmau5 likes to share his tunes with small fury creatures. For those who like bonding with their pet(s) through music, custom cans can be the cat’s meow.
INCENSE HOLDER
Grateful Dead http://dead.net
This was an easy call for Deadheads. If you have similar fans, an incense holder is a nice inexpensive item.
PIÑATA
Justin Bieber http://justinbiebermusic.com
Sometimes you just have to smack something. Of course, with the Bieb’s face on it––it’s even more delicious. Actually, there have been a few acts that used piñatas during their shows. One was even filled with joints for stoner fans.
