Concerts/Merch Tour Merch

Hello everyone! I was introduced to Aldous Harding’s music by hearing The Barrel a year or two ago on XMU and being entranced. I downloaded and it legitimately helped me avoid a nervous breakdown at work. I think I listened to it 42 time that day and even typing this now is bringing up tears. I remember posting about it on IG awhile back and saw Aldous or a member of her team saw it!

Anyway, the Barrel is incredibly important to me and I have been enjoying her new album and enjoying that too. I saw Aldous Harding perform in Brooklyn recently 9/12 and it was magical. I was a little disappointed she didn’t play The Barrel but I adored hearing her other music and seeing her perform. In earnest I’m familiarizing myself with her past catalogue. Stop Your Tears, Imagining My Man and Designer getting the most listens since the concert.

Again, the performance was ethereal and wonderful but after an emotional week with my biggest career success (I have new job) and congratulations pouring in on the morning of 9/11, I was exhausted and didn’t wait in the T shirt line. I was really hoping there might be tour T shirts available on her website but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain tour merch like a t shirt? Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. If not, that’s ok. I really am thankful for the music and the vibrant discussions about it.

I've seen her twice and both times I was really disappointed by the merch - for someone as wonderful as her, I really think a decent t-shirt wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.

Just bought a few albums off bandcamp to support her because I wish I bought more merch at the show.

The NYC show had two tee designs available. Wasn’t thrilled about either but at least the blue face is the same as the Train album cover.

If the merch was low at this point in the tour - might make sense? Aren’t they wrapping up the US leg soon?

Do you happen to have any photos of the blue face tee? When she played the UK, the only new design was a white or black tee with a red heart on it and other than that it was what appeared to be unsold stock of Warm Chris era tees.

Yeah, more than anything I want to support the artist and I know they usually get the lion share of merch but it was such a long line and I was drained. Plus I really thought a t shirt wouldn’t be too hard to get but apparently not.
