If you’re going to advertise your mediocre CD with a pre-order that includes a t-shirt you may want to send out those t-shirts. Been waiting since Dec and have been ignored and put off multiple times when trying to ask the band about it. You should probably try to hang onto the small fan base you have. Joke’s on me I guess. -Karma’s A Bitch Baby

Starland Vocal Band? They suck!
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the reason you’re unable to reach Jerry Garcia, he’s busy being dead, not Grateful Dead but, real, real dead.
In this day and age, getting t-shirts and CDs pressed is not a big deal. This band is in over their heads are just not ready for the bigger stage. Very amateurish sounding.
Cool, are The Smiths back together?
It’s ONLY a fucking t-shirt, ya’ baby!
The band probably scraped together every dollar they had to press their CD. Then they were hoping the pre-sales would cover the t-shirt order they couldn’t previously afford. So based on low sales and possibly a hidden drug problem the t-shirts were never pressed. If they were, they were made in such low numbers that you simply weren’t high enough on the totem to receive one.
I do sympathize with your point and would be frustrated as well, but their hands are probably tied on this and you didn’t actually pay for the shirt (not that that has much bearing on the situation though). And if its any consolation the band in question probably has box after box of unsold Cd’s that they won’t/can’t even give away because they know how much each unit cost them.
