DeathGob T-Shirts

Death To False Metal badge

2010-02-09T11:04:58Z

There's nothing more frustrating than tuning in the radio to mosh out to some proper metal, only to be bombarded with pap that's no better than soft rock.

The DeathGob Renewable Energy Plan

2010-02-09T09:34:00Z

In 2006, a meager 18% of global energy consumption came from renewable energy. We want YOUR help in implementing our action plan to increase that percentage. We’re promoting wind power, and what we’d like you to do is eat more beans. Simple, huh? And since you’re here reading about how to save the planet, you may as well take a peek at our water saving tips as well.

Defender of the Faith

2010-02-08T12:43:46Z

On this day in 1952, Princess Elizabeth formally proclaimed herself Queen and Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith. Who would have guessed that fifty-eight years later, she’d still be hanging on in there? Celebrate her continuing reign with our ever-popular Crown and Skullbones t-shirt, for girls and boys, or if you’re a bit skint, just a badge.

Promote Wind Power badge

2010-02-05T12:19:51Z

We're not NIMBYs! We'd happily have wind turbines in our back yards. Especially if they were fart powered!

Turn that light off!

2010-02-05T09:27:52Z

Saving the planet is at the top of DeathGob’s agenda. OK, its not quite at the top, its just after eating cheese, getting drunk and playing the yellow car game, but its still pretty high. We’ve been spreading the word of going green for a long time now, and our latest badge “Turn that light off!” continues to fight the cause.
Currently on the DG office jukebox Debussy: Claire De Lune

Turn That Light Off! badge

2010-02-04T14:49:55Z

If you turn that light off, not only do you save the planet and save money, but there's also the added bonus that you look better in the dark.

Sewing Machines

2010-02-04T11:35:35Z

We’re all for sewing machines here at DeathGob HQ. So much so, that we’ve even got a t-shirt design (available for girls and boys) with then on. Sometimes though, they just don’t play fair, so in the interest of equality we’ve made a Rage Against The Sewing Machine badge.
Currently on the DG office jukebox Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name

Rage Against The Sewing Machine badge

2010-02-04T10:54:19Z

F*ck you, I won't sew what you tell me! Motherf*cker! Huh! (etc)

Free Nelson Mandela

2010-02-02T09:32:56Z

Twenty years ago today, South African President F.W. de Klerk lifted a ban on the African National Congress (ANC) and promised to free Nelson Mandela from prison. Nine days later, South African ANC leader, political activist and anti-apartheid campaigner Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years, inspiring one of the funniest badges ever.

Apple iPad Launch

2010-01-29T15:13:48Z

Just in case you hadn’t noticed, the Apple iPad was launched yesterday. Whether or not it’s a “magical and revolutionary” device is neither here nor there, we still won’t be upgrading from our (boys and girls) Macintosh LCIIs any time soon.
Currently on the DG office jukebox Rollz: Plugged In

Down Shep!

2010-01-27T12:32:35Z

If Shep the Dog (Blue Peter’s best ever doggy) was still alive, he’d be 39 this week. Or 169, in dog years. But he’s not. He kicked the bucket back in ’87. But happy birthday anyway, dead doggy.

Return of the A-Team

2010-01-20T16:18:17Z

The A-Team return in a big screen adaptation this summer. According to the trailer, it looks as though they’re cranking up the violence and action a bit higher than the 80s incarnation. Machine-gunning ‘planes to death from flying tanks – surely no one’s going to walk away from that and then just dust themselves down? The big question on everyone’s lip though is: will BA still be gay?

Jumbo Birthday

2010-01-19T16:47:10Z

Forty years ago this week, the Boeing 747 started its first regularly scheduled commercial flight between London and New York. To respectfully commemorate the 2,850 lives lost since then (mostly due to hull-loss), we’re suggesting you wear our Straight to Hell t-shirt – available for girls and boys.

Happy Christmas 2009

2009-12-22T15:37:57Z

The annual Christmas games roundup seems to have come a bit of a DeathGob tradition. It’s got nothing to do with our fabtastic t-shirts or badges, it’s just a bit of fun to while away those last hours of sitting behind a desk before you hurry off home and kick back for the holidays. This year’s batch is pretty heavy on the puzzle side, but you may as well give your braincells a final work out before you obliterate them with a heady mix of mulled wine, sloe gin and egg-nog. So, without further ado, here are our top five games of the year in reverse order, all of which are worthy of your time: Onomin, Boxgame, The Fantasy of the Sord, Grow Tower (made by the same mad genius that kicked off this whole tradition) and the heroically good Ice Breaker (which has now spawned two equally excellent sequels: The Red Clan & The Gathering). Enjoy, and have a merry old Christmas!

UN Climate Change Conference

2009-12-04T12:53:55Z

The leaders of the world are about to meet at the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen. Whether they succeed in knocking together a workable treaty or not, we’d just like to point out that we’ve been advising people to go green for ages.

Stolen Technique

2009-12-03T14:15:16Z

The founder of the George Bush Shoe Hurling Society got a taste of his own medicine this week. During an interview in Paris, a demonstrator sparked off a tit for tat shoe hurling episode, which you can see in full comedic technicolour here. After the brief scuffle, Muntadar al-Zaidi heroically quipped: "He stole my technique." Join our Shoe Hurling Society today, and spread the word of lobbing footwear - it’s the craze that’s fun for all the family!

eRYTHROPOTIZINUM

2009-12-02T10:18:39Z

If you’re not yet reading the internet’s premiere 21st century digital urban sports ezine, then get with the programme and download it now! The December 2009 edition is great not just because it features two of our latest ladies tees (BMX on page 135 and Straight to hell on page 146) but it’s got the funniest advert we’ve seen in the DG offices for a long time. All we’re saying is “Dog” and “Marker pen”. Its completely free to download, and you can read the articles like the one about the neon pedal car at your desk while pretending to do some work, so what have you got to loose?

DeathGob just keep on truckin’

2009-12-01T09:21:16Z

Cor blimey Guv’nor! Have we really being banging out the world’s best t-shirts and badges since 2006? Well according to our latest design we have! All of which probably means its time for a tea break…
Currently on the DG office jukebox White Lies: Death [Chase & Status Remix]

DeathGob Truck t-shirt

2009-11-30T14:54:53Z

As a wise old man once said, "Keep on truckin'!" OK, it wasn't a wise old man, it was perverted genius Robert Crumb. In 1968, to be precise, but hey.

DeathGob Bikini Car Wash

2009-11-30T12:46:09Z

Plans have been underway to open our very own bikini car wash here at DeathGob HQ for quite a while now. After an extensive and comprehensive interview process, which was a huge personal chore, we're now open for business. Ladies can get the commemorative t-shirt here, with the men's version coming along as soon as we've cooled down a bit. If you know what I mean.

Hey ladies – do you fancy a burger that’s tasty, yet not so huge that it’ll give you the meat sweats? Then try our brand new Royale with Cheese! All the flavour but without a week’s worth of calories in one hit.

Royale With Cheese t-shirt

2009-11-24T11:50:44Z

Jules: You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France? Brett: No. Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent. Vincent: A Royale with cheese. Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that? Brett: Because of the metric system? Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett!

Rayguns - officially dangerous

2009-11-20T10:27:48Z

Finally, the answer to one of our most frequently asked questions has arrived! It turns out that our most “dangerous” t-shirt is not the Straight To Hell design as we thought, but in fact our “The future belongs to those of us with Rayguns” design. Alister Dean got in touch with us via the DeathGob Twitter account, sending us this tweet: “The Raygun shirt nearly got me banned from Birmingham airport. Apparently drawings of guns from the future are banned.” So there we have it. Rayguns are officially dangerous weapons. If you have any stories about run-ins while wearing your DeathGobb t-shirt, please get in touch via our contact form, or send us a tweet.

LHC back in action

2009-11-19T16:18:19Z

We haven’t quite got a badge for every day of the year just yet (but hey, we’re working on it!). In the meantime we’re mostly wearing our LHC badges around the DG office. The once again fully operational Large Hadron Collider starts up again at CERN tomorrow, and we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that no-one breaks it again anytime soon.

DeathGob is offically awesome

It’s only a game show!

2009-11-16T12:03:11Z

Blockbusters was the pick of the pops when it came to 1980s quiz shows. Part of its winning appeal was that you could surreptitiously ask Bob (the presenter) to go to the toilet by asking for a P. Even funnier was watching the teeneagers ask for an E while trying to muffle their guffaws.

World Hello Day 2009

2009-11-13T12:51:33Z

Hi! Howdy! As you might be able to tell, we’re gearing up for World Hello Day here at DG HQ. It’s an exciting day of promoting peace and harmony… and saying “hello” a lot. If you’ve lost your voice, or you just don’t fancy talking to chipper people all day, get yourself one of our Hell-o badges. It’s like being friendly, without the hassle!

TDR at Cadwell

2009-11-12T09:34:35Z

All of us here at DG HQ are proudly wearing our TDR Skull badges in support of The Devil’s Rejects Soapbox team. They’re racing at Cadwell Park gravity festival this weekend, and hope to continue their winning streak after picking up the best turned out gong at the Belchford Downhill Challenge in September. Good luck boys, break a leg (figuratively speaking, of course).

Good old Mum and Dad

2009-11-10T10:18:37Z

Have you got a Bad Dad? You know the sort: they snatch your Wiimote away from you, thinking they can smash your highest score at bowling, and get 5 gutterballs in a row. They drive you to the gig at the local leisure centre, and then insist on popping in to show all your mates their best dance moves. If that’s your dad, then maybe its time to nuke your parents.

And just so the boys don’t feel left out, there’s a Milk Tray Man badge to stick on their duffle coats.

He's a stayin' up late, shandy drinkin', air guitar playin' dad, and he's real bad.

The Internet at 40

2009-11-06T09:21:21Z

The internet is forty years old, and still looking pretty good for its age! Do you remember the days of dial up and 28.8k modems? We sure do, and quite frankly, they’re not something that we miss! However, some of the hardware we used is still close to our hearts, hence the arrival of our latest girl’s Mac t-shirt. The Apple Macintosh Plus was a legend in its own lifetime, and something that we gave a good beating while we were at college. Our classic Apple Mac t-shirt is also available in grey for the fellas.

Tea Badges

2009-10-23T09:39:27Z

Once upon a time, we made some badges saying White, No Sugar and White, Two Sugars. People wore them so the tea boy didn’t have to ask what their hot beverage preference was. Now, many brews later, we’ve finally expanded the range. There’s now White, One Sugar, Black, No Sugar, Black, One Sugar and Black,Two Sugars. If you more than two sugars in your tea, maybe its time you thought about switching to sweeteners.

Halloween 2009

If you’re going out trick or treating this year, forget chucking a sheet over your head and going out as a rubbish ghost. Get yourself one of our devilishly good 666 tees, for boys and girls and top it off with a Jack o’ Lantern badge. You’ll look more stylish, and you probably won’t trip up so much.

Catch-up for the ladies

2009-10-22T09:50:21Z

We’re all for equality here at DeathGob HQ, which is why we’re trying to redress the boys versus girls t-shirt imbalance. Toten Kopf Chopper Club was our very first design for the boys, so there’s really no excuse for not getting that one sorted out. The BMX design is more recent, so you can give us a break about that one. We’re taking it one step at a time, but hopefully the ladies will be on an even footing with the boys in the near future!

Although we're all being happy and patriotic and wearing bowler hats and drinking tea, we can't help but think it would be nicer if today were a bank holiday so we could go outside and enjoy the sunshine and then get drunk in the park on Pimms. If you haven't signed the petition to make today a national holiday, sort it out!

Happy Christmas 2008

Last year there were some pretty good games to play in the end of year roundup, but this year, we’re taking it up a notch. This time there’s no puzzles and easy-going fluff, its action all the way. There are Pirates, Wizards, Knights, Star Barons and crazed gun-toting Robots to choose from. And if that all gets a bit too much, there’s some Crazy Golf as well, just to calm it back down a notch. We’ve even carefully mowed a course based on our Magma Tea t-shirt for you. Happy Christmas, and don’t get mince pie crumbs in the keyboard!

November 2008 Bicycle Basket Bazaar

2008-10-28T09:19:43Z

“Made in Northampton” is the theme for the next Bicycle Basket Bazaar on the 22nd November. Just in case you’re not au fait with Northampton’s famous exports, here’s a quick roundup of some of the finer examples. Firstly, it’s compulsory for everyone in the town to either wear quality Gentlemen’s shoes or Kinky Boots. The town’s so shoe crazy that they’ve even got a Shoe Museum, with examples of footwear ranging from a pair of Elton John’s platforms, to a set of bespoke boots for an elephant, true fact!
Carlsberg Special Brew, also known as Tramp’s Treacle, is brewed down by the river. The brewery fills the sky for miles around with the delicious aroma of hops, which probably acts as a bisto-like trail for Winos from the surrounding areas.
It’s doubtful if any of these products will make an appearance at the BBB, but one thing’s for certain; there will definitely be a fine array of home grown provender, hand-made oddities and vintage treasures, most of which could happily and proudly be labeled “Made in Northampton”.

And buy some of their smashing books and magazines as well while you're there. But get your priorities right and buy my work first. I've got kids to feed, you know.

A big thumbs up goes to Abby Whale for sending in this great video of her having her head shaved in front of a massive audience while wearing her DeathGob Shave the Whale tee. If you have any videos or pictures of people wearing DeathGob tees, especially if they're doing daft stuff, make sure you send them in as we’re always looking for Berks In Shirts.

Kids hyperactive? Worried about feeding them loads of choccy eggs this Easter? How about a Chicken Stomp t-shirt as an alternative? Not only will it last longer than some sickly confectionery, it will be educational too; without chickens, there wouldn’t be choccy eggs in the first place!

DG models - cooking on the telly!

2008-01-14T12:17:22Z

We choose our t-shirt models carefully here at DeathGob HQ. They have to bring something more to the table than just “being able to wear a t-shirt”. In the case of Johanna, seen here sporting our “Support your local greasy spoon” tee, she brought things like cakes to the table. Now you’ll be able to see her culinary skills in action too, on Thursday 31st January she makes her Masterchef debut.

Happy Christmas 2007

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, the very next day, you gave it away. Oh hang on, that’s not right. Last Christmas I gave you Grow Ornament, not my heart. This year, I’m going to be a bit more generous and give you a more complete roundup of great games, and there’s something for everyone! 3D Logic and Armor Picross for the brainboxes in the family, Twang for the action fans, Knytt Stories for the adventure buffs, and last, but not least, Grow Island for Aunty Maureen.

Freezing Art Fair 2007

2007-11-22T10:23:05Z

Sometimes, when we have a few minutes spare between making fab t-shirts, some of us here at DeathGob HQ get our crayons out and like to make pretty pictures. Then, if we’re lucky and bump into someone we can confuse with long words, we sometimes get our pictures into galleries. Which is exactly what happened with the Freezing Art Fair at the Fishmarket in Northampton.
The show runs from 1st – 22nd December, and most of the stuff is for sale. So now you can get your very own crayon masterpiece from the DG school of art, just in time for Christmas – handy!

The private view is on Friday 12th October from 7pm onwards, and there’s sure to be some free booze knocking around (if there isn't, I want to know why), so if you’re in the area, pop in to see them.

Clunker '07 Report

2007-09-11T12:04:45Z

There’s a distinct smell of Deep Heat around the DeathGob offices this week. We all survived this year’s Clunker Classic, but there are a still lot of aching bones to be tended to. A couple of videos of the event are now online, so you can see stupid stuff like building spirals with large rocks, then trying to ride around them; axing mountain bikes to death because they were strictly prohibited, and eating doughnuts with Stilton, because that’s all that was available. On second thoughts, maybe that smell isn’t Deep Heat after all. It could well be Stilton covered doughnuts moulding away in a backpack somewhere…

Paris Hilton dating t-shirt designer

2007-07-26T18:06:26Z

We here at DeathGob can happily confirm that Paris Hilton is NOT dating any of us. This came as a massive relief to Team DG as the rumours were rife around the office that Kaiser was seeing the millionaire heiress ever since he started carrying a miniature poodle round the production department and sipping Babycham during meetings. Fortunately it transpired that he got the wrong end of the stick when he read the latest office memo: "DeathGob Camping Trip" and thought he had to feminise up his feminine side. Rumours of Reg dating Lionel Richie are, however, completely true. Currently on the DG office jukebox: Battles: Atlas

Here at DeathGob HQ, we're not usually bothered with do-gooding and our friends tell us we don't do comedy much either. Our motto is "Charity begins at home – or at least, down the boozer".
However, our miserly attitude changed when supporters of the fab and beautiful TV-presenter Angellica Bell asked Team DG really, really nicely to make them some t-shirts for Comic Relief UK does Fame Academy 2007.
The show starts this Saturday, 3rd March at 5.55pm on BBC1 in the UK , so make sure you phone some votes in for Angellica, because she's ace and smells like cute little kittens covered in Spring Blossom flavour Shake N' Vac. Or if not her, then Shaun Williamson, aka Barry from EastEnders - just because he's lovely and cuddly, despite reeking of peanuts and old newspapers.
Heck, why not vote for both? It's all for charidee, mate and you'll be doing something that's even gooder than starting a school for orphaned koala bears with reading difficulties.
DeathGob in Charitable Mood Shocker! What's that? You want more? Jeez. Alright then, but only because you pushed us - until 16th March, for ANY badge sold on the site we will donate 40p of the proceeds to Comic Relief.

Especially for You

2006-10-27T12:02:04Z

Lovers of populist antipodeans rejoice! Pop princess and sultry sex siren for the terminally height-challenged, Kylie Minogue is having a whole exhibition devoted to the garments that have enshrouded her miniscule frame at the Victoria and Albert museum next year. We know, we know - you're excited about 2 things: the first being a chance for you to get your grubby mitts on her gold hot pants and the second being able to sneak a glimpse of her fabled pink DeathGob TWA=T t-shirt that she wore on the set of Streetfighter: The Movie. Well, stop your heavy breathing, because unfortunately for you, the Minogue is so addicted to wearing her DG shirt that she's decided she can't bear to part with it for the exhibition, and it won't be forming part of the collection of child-sized minxwear. Some things, it would seem, are too valuable to part with.

Taking up the Tee folding challenge

2006-10-18T12:37:21Z

It’s not often that something spurs us into action here at DeathGob HQ, but when Sweeney’s t-shirt folding video popped into our inbox yesterday, murmurs of “I bet we could do that” could be heard.
Boxes of stock got tipped out onto the floor, and an intensive tee-folding session ensued. Remarkably, for such a bunch of chimps who have only just learned how to utilize their opposing thumbs, the results weren’t overly bad. There’s still some way to go before we can offer our services professionally, but click on the video to see one of our Keep Britain Tiny t-shirts get done over.
If you have any challenges you’d like Team DeathGob to have a go at, send them in and we’ll stick them on the “we might take a look at that after we’ve had another cup of tea” pile.

The yellow car phenomenon shows no signs of slowing in pace. In fact, our fantastic new tees for the Gents (yes, we’ve splashed into the world of colour with a limited edition blue version too) are bound to put fuel on the yellow car fire. It would probably be best to put fuel IN the yellow car, not on a fire, but as we’ve said before, we’re a bit stupid. Don’t worry ladies, you’ll get both black and limited edition colour versions real soon.
Oh, and while we’re on the subject, have you seen our Yellow Car Flickr group? You really should join.

Bike Hell

2006-09-15T15:38:53Z

Not content with the amount of bike events this summer (see below!), Kaiser (DeathGob’s Shirt Ninja Overlord) has decided to organize another one himself. Bike Hell takes place on Saturday 7th October, starting at 3pm. The meeting point is The End pub in Northampton, and then it’s on to a secret location for general bike mayhem. There’ll be wheelie competitions, big skid competitons (bring some spare pants), drag racing, demolition derbies, and that kind of thing. Oh, and probably some drinking. In fact, definitely some drinking. So go down to your shed and dust your bike off and come and join us! We’ll be the ones wearing the ace Tees.

New Cassettes debut single

2006-09-15T12:32:40Z

If you haven’t heard about the New Cassettes yet, then you haven’t been properly paying attention! Their debut single comes out on 2nd October, and it’s an essential purchase. Not because of the music (even though that’s not TOO bad), but because the pretty drawing of buildings on the front of the 7” was done by ME. So go and buy it, alright? I don’t care if you haven’t got a bloody record player.

Retrotonic at the New Roadmender

2006-09-15T12:10:39Z

One of Team DeathGob’s favourite music venues - the Roadmender in Northampton - shut down last December. Thankfully, it’s just about to re-open again, under the clever title of New Roadmender (do you see what they did there?). That’s good news in itself, but Toni, one of our fabulous models, is starting up her own Retrotonic club night there! More info when it’s about to start up.

Yellow Car PUNCH!

2006-09-11T12:51:59Z

Yellow cars. We hate em. And so should you! They're yellow! Because we're all serious and businessman-like here at DeathGob HQ, we play a game anytime one of us sees a yellow car. We yell "YELLOW CAR!!!!!" and then you get to punch someone. Ok, Ok, so we're not going to win any IQ prizes, but at least we get to punch Reg, a *lot*, and that has to count for something. The game's become so popular here at DG that we've become a little obsessive in our Yellow Car spotting, something that this little film shows when myself and Reg were secretly filmed by Kaiser indulging in a little pro-spotting...

Reg Club

2006-09-04T14:33:51Z

There are a some lovely new items in the "Reg Club". You don't know what the "Reg Club" is? Somewhere on this site, there's a secret portal that takes you to a very special area... have a closer look around.

How to bowl

2006-07-26T11:53:08Z

Mr Wild's always being asked if he can tutor tenpin bowling stars of the future. Watch the video and see why he's in such demand! p.s. There's a vaguely naughty word if you're listening with sound - which we can recommend you do...

Summer Burn Winner

2006-06-23T12:19:47Z

Congratulations to Julie Pliner for winning our Summer Burn competition in conjunction with Funjunkie. You’ll soon be the best dressed girl in Boulder, Colorado. That's unless you decide to donate your spanking new DeathGob t-shirt to someone less fortunate than youself, like Taz for example. But I wouldn't if I were you.

Charity Football Bonanza

2006-06-20T15:12:27Z

Pimp My Bike

2006-06-19T14:36:50Z

Not content with making you the best t-shirts around, Team DeathGob have broken into the world of film making! In this episode, our host Lal encounters a sorry lad whose mum has run off to be someone else's mum. She's left him with nothing but a sissy-girl bike, so Team DeathGob get to work to create a low-riding beast that'll stop him snivelling and become a MAN! Simply click the play button on the movie to the right. Below it you'll also find a bloopers reel from the film set, because even when you're dealing with professionals like us, sometimes shiz just happens. There's even a dedicated Flickr group if you’re that interested. Think as them as the bonus material you’d get on a quality DVD. Coming Soon: The Filming of Pimp My Shirt - where we get to go to work with chainsaws and angle grinders on one of YOUR tees! Also Coming soon: Titanic 2. Possibly.

Crouchy "kicks off"

2006-06-16T10:51:53Z

A massive slap on the back to Peter crouch for scoring last night against Trinidad and Tobago! It’s a shame you didn’t do your famous robot dance Pete, but I suppose we’ll let you off just this once (so long as you do it next time). While you’re here, take a look at our other football badges that we have for sale. Come on England!

Clunker Classic 2006

2006-06-13T10:59:42Z

It’s nearly the time of year again for the annual Clunker Classic bike race. If you happen to be in Devon and you see anyone wearing a Toten Kopf Chopper Club or a Kingsley Punk Bike Gang t-shirt, it could be one of us, as Team DeathGob will be attending en-masse. We’ll also be adding our new Freak Bike Circus design to the site real soon, so keep you eyes on the new arrivals page, or better still, subscribe to our newsfeed!

Happy Birthday Grandma Orefice!

2006-06-09T12:28:21Z

We here at DeathGob have our fingers on the very lifeblood artery of fashion, as you can probably guess. So it comes as a great joy to us to learn that Monday marked the 75th birthday of the original supermodel, Carmen Dell'Orefice. Dell'Orefice had jelly, cakes and a clown at her birthday party, and Kate Moss did the balloon animals, a hitherto undiscovered talent for the dimunuitive charlie-snorting fashion minxtress. All the partygoers were treated to a wonderful display of elastic starfish. When DeathGob scouts approached Carmen to ask her if she would model our highbrow fashion line, we were prevented from getting any closer to her via a court order. It seems someone managed to tip her off about us before we got there. Bum. Anyway, Happy BirthDay Orefice!

666 - Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

2006-06-06T13:00:34Z

Yea, try saying that whilst you're face to face with the Dread Lord of Hell, Satan himself. And it might happen too, for today is a special day - the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year after the millennium - 6/6/06. Tis surely the Devil's Day - and to appease the hot scary red fella we've brought out a special 666 t-shirt that won't cost you your soul but will keep old goat-feet away from your door and let you get on with little jobs like washing the car without the fear of hellish reprisal. Unless you do indeed suffer from Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, that is.

Support Your Local Greasy Spoon!

2006-05-25T11:23:31Z

Anyone who's anyone is only too aware of the impending threat posed to greasy spoon cafes by the arrival on our shores of swanky coffee bars offering high-priced, low-taste breakfast paninis and crap coffee. Well IT MUST STOP we tell you! We must turn back the tide of these sterilised impersonal death-caverns. We need a return to the good old Britishness of the local greasy spoon. A place where you can be served without a smile, a place that doesn't ask if you'd "like a biscotti with that", a place that doesn't pretend that it cares about your day when it actually doesn't. We need a return to plates stacked high with cheap food and mugs of tea so sugarey sweet that local beehives can smell them from 20 miles away. Fortunately, The big hitters are with us on this. That bastion of breakfast condiments, HP Sauce, is sponsoring the Save The Proper British Cafe Campaign. Head on over there and sign their petition to show your support of all things formica-topped and lovingly fried. And whilst you're at it, publicly display your affection for England's greatest achievement by popping one of these little numbers on your bare chest. Fear not ladies! A version of the "Support Your local Greasy Spoon" t-shirt specially tailored to fit the female form is also available. Extra sausage and mushrooms on mine, thanks.

Freak Bike Circus

2006-05-18T14:30:58Z

June 3-4th 2006 sees the return of Northampton’s annual Raleigh Chopper Rally at Billing.
This year there’s a new addition to the fun and games in the shape of the Freak Bike Circus. As part of this, Team DeathGob will be on hand with their stupid bikes, previewing their latest cinematic masterpiece at the ride-in cinema.
Let’s hope the weathers nice.

Funjunkie Summer Burn

2006-05-08T11:26:41Z

Do you like music? Would you like the chance of getting your hands on a free DeathGob t-shirt? If the answer to either of those is no, go away and don't come back. If on the otherhand the answer is YES! to both of those questions, then you'll want to be part of Funjunkie's annual Summer Burn. So what's it all about? Well, it's to do with making your own mix CD's and swapping them with people all over the world, but you really should just read all about it here, as it's explained far more coherently and in much more depth. Go on, you might like it.

Happy Birthday Liz!

2006-04-20T13:20:12Z

If One hasn't received One's invitation to the party, then One might not be aware that it's the Queen's 80th birthday on Friday 21st April. To celebrate DeathGob is bringing out a special tee just for Her Madgeness! Crown & Skull Bones is a very special dedication to Her Royal Highness, a unique print on a tee woven with the finest shreds of blackest night, each blacker-than-black thread sliced with the sharpest samurai sword known to Tarantino and hand-delivered by an entire tribe of six-legged corgis. Happy Birthday Queenie! Long may you be seen busting out the grooves down the disco all decked out in your spangly, shiny, super DG shirt. Tis a beautiful thing.

The original (and ting)

2006-04-12T13:39:48Z

The design that started the whole thing off will soon be back on sale. Make sure you set up a DG account so we can send you details of all the latest designs as soon as they hit the shelves.

Free stuff

2006-04-11T12:30:39Z

Top new music mag “Music for Squares” is launching soon, and we’ve been promised a bunch of copies. As soon as they’re off the press, we’ll be slipping them into t-shirt orders being sent out. If you’re lucky, one of them could be yours!

Anti-Fashion Shoot

2006-04-06T14:53:23Z

Well, we grabbed some unwitting models, blindfolded them and piled them into the back of a van containing frozen chickens bound for Norway. With them out of the way for some considerable time, we got down to the serious process of doing an anti-fashion shoot for our designs in the World famous* site of the former Nunn Mills Power Station. Broken drug needles and absuive tramps aside, we had a jolly old time, dodging asbestos and carbon filament death to bring you that special "urban grit" look that we know you're used to. You'll be seeing the results all over the site, but we're sure that you appreciate the death and slaughter we had to go to to bring you the hottest fashion looks around! * as in, not famous at all.
