St Spatrick's Day

What exactly is St Patrick's Day all about eh? Well, we're blowed if we know, but we have put together a few T-shirts to celebrate it. "My Nan is from Ireland" is probably our favourite and just about sums up everything to do with St Paddy's day for us. Hundreds, nay thousands, nay millions of people all out on the streets of London, New York, Melbourne - wherever - all pretending that their nan's were from Ireland - and thereby they have the God given right to get absolutely murdered. Well, guess what party people? I'm murdered now, and I've never even been to Ireland. How do you like them apples?! AHOY! xxx

Monkey Picks


If you've got a few minutes / hours / days to spare go and give http://www.monkey-picks.blogspot.com/ a look. It's a blog called Monkey Picks where by our leader and master takes us on a journey through the magical World of our closest cousins - the monkey! From the Lemur of Madagaska to the ... no, not really, it's a blog about music/art/books and things. Often but by no means always with a sixties tilt. Charles Bukowski's book "Screams From The Balcony" was the inspiration for our name "Balcony Shirts", and there are some nice bits about him too.

The Balcony Bike


We're right into saving the planet here at Balcony HQ. Oh yes Sir we are. So much so that we've pushed our petrol-guzzling cars into the sea and ordered a fleet of bicycles to get to work. This isn't strictly true. You can hardly call Uxbridge Canal "the sea" ferrchrissakes. Maybe a "fleet" of bicycles is stretching the truth a little too. Basically, we've got a bike. It's logo'd to the hilt with Balcony orange and it even folds up so you can get it in your ... errr ... car. Anyway. Here's a picture of the Balcony Bike. If anyone wants one, just go on Amazon and search for "fold-up" bike. You'll see it. When it arrives just pick the graphics off (they come off real easily), ride it to our shop and we'll Balcony logo it up for you, right there and then. Now there's an offer it's going to be fairly easy to refuse. xxx

Balcony Shirts Shop

For those that don't know, we opened a little shop in Uxbridge just before Christmas. We sell a selection of things that we sell on the website and some things we don't. We sell Mozaikits in the shop - with them you can mozaik your house 'n' stuff. They're cool. Anyway, the best thing about the shop is we get to meet people and they can give us ideas for tees and stuff. We also offer custom T-shirt printing where we'll print your favourite Balcony Tee on a colour of your choice. We also do little runs of Tees for local businesses and shizz like that. If you're ever in Uxbridge - pop in and say hello. We're down Windsor Street - it's that little "oldy worldy" road opposite the station.
