Feather Bed Whiskey Blanket Stuffing Party
So all of the pieces have finally arrived. We have boxes of pristine white vinyl, and straight from the printers, piles of die-cut, unfolded boxes.
Coady, Merchbot 2000 and Leslie get to work folding the boxes for Feather Bed Whiskey Blanket.
Merchbot drops another load of the folded boxes off by the lions in the corner.
Coady starts numbering the boxes.
One of the best parts of putting all the photos and documents into the sets was taking some time to go through them. It was kind of hard to get rid of a lot of these one-of-a-kind items, so we made sure to take it all in, before sending them off.
The handful of photos of each death scene that ended up being used were really part of about 50 or so that were taken of each band member. These photos offer glimpses of close up detail and other views of what were very long “deaths” for each member during the lead-up to In Name and Blood.
Leslie searches through the archives.
Here, Coady, Nate and Dann are making sure that each set gets all 4 records and an envelope with the special items. It is hard to say what is in any one box as there were so many things we unearthed in our archives. Spencer did a special series of paintings that were put in some, and others contain old tour posters or a bonus record or 7″.
We hope everyone who is able to get one enjoys the contents, they were great fun to make and really offer a unique way to experience different parts of the band’s history.
The Feather Bed Whiskey Blanket box sets are going to cost $150 and will be limited to one per customer. This is not one per person per show, but one per person total. We hope that you respect this so everyone who wants one has a chance to get one. We will also make sure to spread these out so there are box sets for sale at all shows along the tour.
In addition to getting the box set at the shows, you will be able to get all four MCD records on newly-issued marbled vinyl, all of our CDs, and the brand new tour t-shirt and poster. The marbled vinyl will be available in stores starting Feb 17, but this is a chance to get them early. Come down and say hi to Merchbot 2000.
How many total boxes are there?
Hello Gang,
I don’t know if I’ll be able to get one of the box sets but I wanted to say thank you all for the great music, and the kick ass memories of going to your shows. My wife and I will be there tonight. She will be driving as I will be drunk!
cheers one and all,
There are 275 box sets total.
I really hope people don’t buy these up to throw on ebay……It’s a really cool thing that the band is doing for the fans, so please leave them for the people that will truly appreciate them
Does the $150.00 include tax?
trip down memory lane.
man, hope i’m able to pick up a set. i’ve got a feeling they’re gonna sell like condoms on prom night.
That’s gonna be edgin’ in on my whiskey money, y’all. But that’s ok, since I think I love them both (MCD, whiskey) equally.
Cheers.
cash only? what do the devils think about credit cards.
The Murder City Devils merchandise booth is a CASH ONLY OPERATION.
Let me start by saying I have been a huge fan for years. I waited in the rain to see both shows in San Francisco. I was stoked to be able to buy the box set. But when I opened it I was a little let down. The records are awesome and the packaging is great, but the extras were a little disappointing. I received a great picture of Spencer, and a stencil, which I love, but I received two of the same photos from the in name and blood shoot, and two other photos that were almost the same except for the person running is in a different pose. I read that these box sets were going to be full of stuff, including one of a kind items, so I thought that the black enevlope was going to have a few more things in it. So it was a little bit of a let down. But the shows were awesome.
i figure ima have to come to the fonda early tonight to get a featherbed, do they allow re-entry or some sort of kindness when your trying to take care of your 150$ purchase?
ok heres my new rant, dont let wannabe tough guys that throw ice and bullshit at some dude whos got the balls to stand there and say how he feels ruin the show. LA is a bunch of fuckups and thats the facts. Rise above the fuckheads orrrrrrr jump in and start swingin. im right behind ya Spencer.
cant really figure out a better place to put this 2 devils shows in a row and 1 more tonight can really fuck an old dude up. but point is WHAT DID EVERYONE GET IN THERE FEATHERBEDS? im excited to hear … so if this isnt the right place for this, please anyone point me in the right direction. i got what seems to be 2 pics of the I.N.a.B. photo shoot, an unused press photo cause specnce is closin his eyes it seems, a sweet pic of the “gravestone” for the R.I.P. album. Also a old school bat poster that was for a show that never got used and a stencil at the bottom under records. Did everyone get a stencil? 58/250
Can’t wait for the show tonight! Hopefully there will be some more Featherbed box sets left…
Damnit! Dude in front of me in line got the last box set. & its not like I can afford any of the 7 box sets that are now on ebay-money grubbing fuckers.
Oh well, just glad I got to see the show….
I got mine at the early show in San Fran. waited in line 1 1/2 hour in the rain to get mine. Also drove from south Texas and through a snow storm in Nevada. And it sucks to see these douche bags selling the set on eBay for like $800, if you didn’t want it, sell it to a friend who wants it for the same price asshats!! Quit being greedy, it was made for the fans, not for the fans profit!
K, so is it me or did no one open theres? i know the whole worth more perfect condition stuff, but damn. Also i know if i still was on the east coast, i would pray that someone would put a few on ebay so i could get one. Theres devils fans round the world and not EVERYONE is in a recession right now. Theres quite a few jobs that thrive through the recession. So, id gladly pay double or so if i was on east coast and be happy.
see you at coachella!
