Tom & Eric blog posts
Sunday, August 14th, 2011Tom recently posted a trailer for the film “Midway” on his blog. I was happy to see this, because it’s a subject that I have strong opinions and feelings about.
Eric Stefani also posted an interesting entry to his blog regarding the design of the self-titled album cover:
“The “Pitcairn Motel ” in Anaheim
It was twenty years ago today . . .
I used a Motel in Anaheim to get the right lettering for my bands logo. It’s got two themes of letter to give a cartoon flavor. Gwen the singer of the band want the logo set in flames. I thought it made it more Heavy Metal but I tried to make the flames “flat” and “stylize” to work with the logo from the album.
I was very disappointed that after spending so much time on it to find out after handing the artwork over to the person in charge of the art that they carelessly retraced my artwork in the computer. It came out wobbly and was not accurate to my hand inked artwork.
It still makes me sad that this was the best they could come up with.
This logo I created for the band was made in 199o for the album released on March 17, 1992.”
gear sale, etc.

No Doubt is clearing out the band warehouse, and has put up some misc. gear, tour props, etc. for auction on eBay!! From the official:

These items are being listed on eBay here by seller dvamp2u (the only legitimate seller of this gear).

Adrian played drums with Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger of The Doors at the OC Fair in Costa Mesa, CA on the 5th! In this YouTube video, you can see him on stage starting at around the 5:15 mark:
