FRONT - "50 foot wave"

Taking the classic "Throwing Muses font" to a new level

🎵 A crazy idea in my head...

I had always had this idea about getting The One Hersh to handwrite things, and when the lyric shirt idea became real, I thought... well... she has to do the band name again... because this is where the original inspiration came from. Now we're taking the classic "Throwing Muses font" to a new level and celebrating the noisy end of Hersh in classic style. I'm still a little blown away that she actually said yes. This thing that started as a crazy idea in my head, finally came out into the world... and it really has been a beautiful thing.🖤

🎨 It actually happened!

While she was in London on April 27th, 2024, The One Hersh handwrote "50 Foogt Wave" 3 times for us. These handwritten TMfont shirts are only available from ElRat Designs. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.

📏 Music is for everyone, and merch should be too (S-6XL Available)

At ElRat Designs, I want as many people as possible to be able to support the things they love. That's why we print every size up to 6XL - because every one deserves to wear their art.

Fantastic custom lyric T-shirt

This is such a cool idea, and I love the shirt! Ordered a custom lyric T-shirt for my wife's birthday, as we are both big KH fans. It took a loooong time to choose a lyric! Great quality shirt, totally unique, a great experience dealing with El Rat. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your kind review. I loved working on this project, we all agree, choosing lyrics is far and away the hardest part. It was really great working with you to get the shirt right. I hope your wife liked it, and that she had an amazing birthday. Your support is very much appreciated! El

real cool trader

Absolutely excellent quality, and the original lyric sheet was included, with a whole bunch of extras and goodies. For what was included as well as the one of a kind Lyric Shirt, this made it even the more special.

Thank you so much for being a part of this project, I am genuinely honoured that Hersh trusted in me, and people like you trusted in me, and that I could make it all come together. Be the Strange! El

A wonderful product

I opened up the package, and immediately I loved the shirt so much! The sheer range of possible color combinations was a bit daunting, but El was great in helping narrow them down and putting together the final design. Providing the original handwritten lyrics along with the shirt was a nice touch, making the shirt feel even a bit more unique. I couldn't be more satisfied, and I wear the shirt proudly.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It genuinely makes me so happy to know that people like the things I make. Kristin Hersh wrote that lyric just for you, so it was always yours,and you made great choices. Genuinely one of a kind, thank you for your support, it means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to Hersh too. El

Throwing Muses One -off Handwritten Lyric t-shirt 2025

Elrat Designs has transposed KH's scribble (font) all over my new T-shirt!! It looks wonderful and loud, colourful and is a memory of a couple of favourite lines of lyrics from the song "Fish". It is a good thing to do as with El's great attention to the concept the request, with skill and enterprise it helps support KH with studio time to make loud, discordant and melodious, mellifluous sounds all wrapped up together in the studio for next time. So win, win. T-shirt was beautifully presented and the project was great fun. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It really was my pleasure to work with you to get this how you wanted, and nothing makes me happier, than knowing that the people who come here, are happy with the things I make for them.... except maybe new Hersh music. So, thank you for helping with that too, and for being a part of this project. It couldn't have happened without the support of people like you, it really does mean a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to KH too.
