Thrillist Austin
Friday January 8, 2010
Bearded Lady
Austin's got a brand new bag, of t-shirts
3505 E 4th St; Central East; 512.389.0180
While those "Keep Austin Weird" shirts were great at first,
these days the only thing weird about buying one is that
you're shopping for clothes at the airport. Fitting Austin
with fresh styles, Bearded Lady.
Bearded's a screenprinting shop run by pair of music scene
vets out of an east-side warehouse space that also serves as
a storefront and practice space for their cover band, The
New Drugs, honoring Huey Lewis, who actually hasn't done a
new drug since the Quaalude was invented. Their spanking
local-centric tees include an 80s lady snorting a line of
powder that spells out Austin, a twist on the old Dr. Pepper
slogan ("Be a Slacker"), the city name in frost-topped Topo
Chico font, and, truly nailing down the spirit of one of
America's uniquely charming communities, a shirt declaring
"Austin is a city where people live & stuff". Because
Bearded's creativity will not be constrained, other T
designs include a pair of Burt Reynolds-faced unicorns under
a rainbow ("Dreams Come True"), a version of the classic
tuxedo shirt that shows an entire suit, and a profile of
David Lee Roth as Mona Lisa -- clearly, someone was hot for
art teacher.
The storefront also showcases Bearded-designed rock posters
(hundreds of touring and local acts), plus novelties like
playing cards repping dead bass players from Cliff Burton to
Charles Mingus, a "Book of Art" commemorating same-named
screen legends (Bea Arthur, Arthur Fonzarelli, Art
Carney...), and a pocket notebook with covers made from Lone
Star packaging -- perhaps a nod to a long-abandoned mission,
Keep Austin Cheap.
Keep up with the Beard's growth here
