"Sing blue silver" the newest boot to our collection and is so special. we've been fans of Duran Duran since the early 80's and like so many of you they're an all time favorite band, we play them almost every day at the shop. A friend at AEG took this boot to Red Rocks and had them sign it before their sold out shows in August. thank you AEG, i hope you realise how much we love it!
I went on a school field trip back in 1979 to the Planetarium, they did the stars & galaxy thing which was cool but at the end of the program they busted out a Laser show (which was still new back then) the person in charge changed my life that day when they did a Laser performance to 'Cars' by Gary Numan. That was it. I was done with conventional rock & roll, forever now on an alternative path to just about everything. the most identifiable moment in my life. - honored to have this signed boot in our collection
Before their sold out show at the Mission Ballroom, Pam & I invited Billy Idol's Drummer (Erik Eldenius) and guitarist (Billy Morrison) into the shop for a visit, we traded Dr. Marten boot for tickets to the show! Both guys were amazing, we asked them sign up my old dark silver 8 eye (Made in England from the 90's) for the collection, they even took the boot back to the venue and had the rest of the band sign it, including the Man himself... Billy Fu*kn Idol. thanks guys, cya next time you're in town!
FashioNation Dj's got to spin some Madchester for the open & break at The Charlatans / Ride at The Ogden Theatre. we played a combo of the Manchester beat along with psychedelia and 1960s pop. Some of their crew are sporting a few pair of Dr. Martens from the shop. - Pretty kick ass day! Ps. tim was rad!
today.. a Day Of The Lords.. Peter Hook & The Light came back to the shop for Dr Martens. we had a blast with them talking Joy Division Doc's - New Orders's Power Corruption & Lies posters, First kick Lambrettas and all the DM's they got from us in the past. We saved a pair of super rare Joy Division Dr Martens in hopes of Peter Hook coming back to the store for a signature.. that happened - what ever you think about Joy Division and New Order just know this, he is the heart of these bands...
At the end of our cool day with Peter Hook & The Light, after the show back stage, Peter took off his boots and put on his new Dr Marten's he got from our shop. He then signed them and gave them to us for our Rock Star Boot Collection!  Peter said he's done over 150 shows with them - that's some Rock Star boots right there!
Echo  back in the shop. Will and the boys stopped in for Dr. Martens and T.U.K. creepers. we swapped shoes for tickets and the Royal treatment for their show at The Ogden Theatre  Afterwords, we were off to the Crypt for drinks till the wee hours - what a bunch of great guys
we had a cool meet up with Cults after their show at HQ where they signed up this customer worn 8 eye jadon for the boot collection. Madeline & Brian were as sweet as their music - we play the ALL the time in the shop
She Wants Revenge! Justin Warfield! he's been a friend of the shop & rocking FashioNation Dr Martens since 2011 - we connect every time SWR hits town. this time around we traded 1461 Cherry 3 eyes for tickets for the Sunday night show at the Gothic Theatre , the whole crew got to go.  There are a bunch of great people in the music scene but Justin is one of the special ones, such a beautiful soul
12 years ago Danzig came to the shop, we had the band sign up this customer worn boot for our Rock Star Boot Collection. we took the boot with us to the show to have the last member sign it but it disappeared from backstage.. just last week it was returned to us thankfully by an old friend of the shop.. the boot gods are happy now!
