Who can wear Lust & Gore?

Sixstitch. Our good friend Angelethal is friends with Sixstitch, a Phoenix metro based rock band, and it seems that Sixstitch is interested in adding some Lust & Gore to their lives. Metal meets metal 'cause these guys are the real deal. No half-ass, they'll be donnin' Lust & Gore cowboy hats as they rip the Southwest apart with their hardhitting beats and screams. We couldn't be happier. Big thanks to Angelethal and Sixstitch. We'll do you proud.

So, on the way into the city today I tried to take in more than usual. I wanted to sort out in my mind, who I thought could wear Lust & Gore and rock it for all it was worth. Who could wear a Lust & Gore customized cowboy hat or military cap, or an original jewelry design and not look like they were "trying"? Well we know Sixstitch could. No fuckin' doubt. Rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, psychobilly, and metal bands have the attitude to represent the spirit of Lust & Gore. Rollergirls and rodeo riders. Harley and custom motorcycle riders. Tattoo artists. See the theme here? It is about having attitude and opinions and the guts to put them out there. But then I saw a middle aged man driving an El Camino. He looked like Sam Elliott, and I thought, "He is Lust & Gore." I saw a vintage scooter, pale green, parked on the street downtown. I think the rider of that scooter was Lust & Gore, too. Lust & Gore is comic books, and afternoon in swinging door saloons (I'll be the villain at the bar). It is "King of the Road" truck drivers, and "World's Fastest Banjo Player" bluegrass. Lust & Gore is extreme for the extreme. We are not bedazzled, faux fur trimmed, airbrushed accessories. We are the fuckin' real deal, too. Heavy metal for heavy metal. It is sharp, and heavy, and hot. And it is all put on hats a real cowboy wouldn't piss on if they were laying on the ground, or laugh it if he saw them on your head. The jewelry is industrial and dangerous. It's kinda scary, but, hey, you are what you wear.
