OG FRESH JIVE AND CLOBBER




I just got back last week. I know I havent been uploading anything...this is something funny. I came across this picture while I was looking for some old school underground house mixtapes from the rave hey days (pre Steve Aoki and Hollywood bullshiet!)....this is the old school brand CLOBBER. hahahah...Bobby Hundred might have his input on how cool it is to have a Fresh Jive tshirt, but real old school fools like me knew how it was really done. Back in the days kids....Rick Klotz was killing flyer designs..cause you got to remember photoshop/AI was the new thing...So you would see Rick's shiet on the typical CITRUSONIC Wed nite afterhours flyer. With infamous drag queen Rocky Raccon and dj Doc Martin...a bay transplant that perfected his own west coast mixing style..and occasionally rotating dj's of Dj Dan or Barry Weaver. So all the loyal club devotees would buy these shirts out of Ricks car trunk, or local cool guy store that was on Melrose ave. at the time. I always wondered what happened to CLOBBER? Kids loved these brands because of the colors and print..it looked FRESH when we were candy flippin...hahahahha..oh yea STEVE AOKI NEVER RAVED!!! HE WAS ONE OF THOSE DUDES THAT KICKED AT LOCAL LA PUNK ROCK GIGS AND PLACES LIKE THE ANTI CLUB.or the UKRAINIAN CENTER..cmon dont front Steve!hahaha

That cloBBer picture is from one of my t-shirts. I'll be posting many more cloBBer and Fresh Jive designs, including some rare ones that Rick did for Lost Angels and old LA clubs.
