Rock ‘n’ Roll Pre-School: Band Tees for the Hip Set

My daughter’s wardrobe might be bursting with shades of pink, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love a good rock’n'roll tee when we see one (especially with a tutu skirt). Here’s a rundown on tees that rock (and that Daddy might want, too!)
I just saw this hilarious new tee from Children of the Revolution at Baby’s Got Style. Too true, too true. And, let’s be honest, who hasn’t at some point many years ago been caught singing that song at 2am after a few too many? (Just me? Oh…). While you’re at BGS, pick up other cool designs like The Strokes (tees $33.95), and don’t forget the most rockin’ bedtime story ($29.95) ever!
Of course, it’s always hard to go past Rock Your Baby for cute and funky prints. This super cool stripey Badges tee ($26) is very rock’n'roll (get them some skinny jeans and a waistcoat or little blazer), or if you’re going down the AB/CD route, you can’t go past one of the original versions ($24).
Ministyle stock Amplified Kids, who cite music as their ‘absolute inspiration’. Right on, man! Girls can indulge in some retro pink with a Blondie tee, or you could pick up a classic Rolling Stones lick tee ($49.95 ea).
Bellabambina also have a good range of Amplified, including a purple version of Blondie and the inspiration behind a thousand bad hairdo’s, Guns’n'Roses (also $49.95ea).
I found a UK website called 8Ball which has – wait for it! – 207 styles of kids and baby band/slogan tees. O-M-G! If it’s not here, it probably doesn’t exist! They even have a Rick Astley tee, which is so uncool it’s waaay cool! As you might be able to tell, I spent a good portion of this evening browsing though here having a chuckle, especially at this “Keep Metal Heavy” tee. If your M is for Metal book hasn’t quite worked, try a funky onesie like B is for Bob (not of the Builder variety). You’ll also find classics like the Ramones, Kiss, and even The Young Ones (not music I know, but still cool!). Prices start from about $25, plus shipping.
Closer to home, on ebay you’ll find Bondi Top Sellers with a huge range of rocking tees (and the occasional skincare regime). From The Vines to Wolfmother ($34.95ea), they also have punktastic tees from Monster Baby and cute slogans from Well Spotted.
And after wanting to rock’n'roll all night and party every day, as the song goes, try a soothing Rockabye Baby cd from the Hip Infant ($33.95) to lull them softly off to sleep…
Please check individual store sites for shipping and delivery details.
Love this! My kids have a few rock tees, I am a sucker for them. I discovered Noisebox Threads last week and they are cool and affordable.
