The 'Hip Tour Shop' is basically a branch of the 'Hip Tour' website that I run. I've been a fan of The Tragically since I was in high school in the early 90's and they were my first Big Time rock & roll experience.
Since then I've seen the band all over Canada and the United States and my love for them eventually led to me messing around on the Internet and at some point a blog/website emerged.
The gist of the blog is to relate Hip based news, stories, videos, setlists, tour dates and from time-to-time opine on whatever -- all the while trying to build a community and to create conversation.
I have analyzed setlist and statistics over the course of whole tours and I am currently working on a database that will allow users to track their own personal concert stats. I have gotten into creating digital lyric art based on the band's individual songs and I am working towards making a piece for every Tragically Hip song. I will sometimes use this technique to make a piece of art out of a setlist.
These endeavors and random conversations over beers have lead to the designs found here. They are loosely based on the "Lot Style" designs found outside of Phish & Grateful Dead shows.
All T-Shirt designs will be limited runs. Once they're gone, they're gone. New designs will always be showing up.
Please join us if you haven't already...
Cheers,
Darren
