The brand-new Hayes Carll merchandise case, custom built by FC+

The FC+ build team is celebrating the deployment of yet another merchandise case into the big world of concert touring. Lost Highway recording artist Hayes Carll commissioned the FC+ custom design in order to handle increased merchandise inventory in a more compact system. Hayes’ manager Mike Crowley voiced his excitement for the all-in-one touring merch solution: “This is going to be sweet.”

This case is the largest version available from FC+, topping out at a whopping 24″ x 48″ with a maximum capacity of 96 folded shirts and over 100 CD’s. Load it in, pop open the top, plug in the lights and you are ready to start selling merch. Take-down is twice as fast. Additional features include a 14″x14″ backlit sign, 8-customizable dividers, t-shirt display boards, and built-in luggage wheels for easy rolling transport. The heavy-duty outer shell easily weathers the constant loading in and out of the trailer.

Touring behind his current release Trouble In Mind for the next three months, Carll’s route goes up the West Coast, through Canada and back down into the Midwest. This Texas troubadour is hitting the road with a merch case that is built to last. Be sure to check out Hayes’ very entertaining live set if he comes to a town near you, and of course, stop by the merch table and pick up a t-shirt and CD.

Momo’s 8th Anniversary poster commission

Poster designed by Jon Pattillo - FC+

FC+ was again commissioned to create the annual poster for the Momo’s Anniversary weekend celebrating eight years of real, live music in Austin, TX. This limited-edition silk-screen poster was designed and printed by hand at the South Side Sanctuary. Signed and numbered prints will be available at this weekend’s festivities.

Poster designer Jon Pattillo took inspiration from both the recent Bejing Olympics and US presidential campaigns by choosing a patriotic-American color scheme, yet communist propaganda inspired repetition of shape.

Similar color pallet is found in the ubiquitous Barack Obama silk-screened “HOPE” poster designed by acclaimed graphic artist Shepard Fairey. Fans and critics alike have commented on the socialist propaganda roots that this visual style hails from.
