About Me

We are two driven ladies from the good old state of Wisconsin that enjoy the following three things: band tshirts, music, and meeting new people. We are the ultimate merch girl pair that you need to hire. We have an impressive plethora of skills including the following: years of retail experience, accounting/business experience, graphic design/photography skills, and a savvy fashion sense.
What can we all do?
Sell merch like it's going out of style - we can pretty much sell sand in the desert. We also can take impressive photos for your myspaces to make you look like the superstars you are. Plus we aren't ashamed to carry around massive bags full of the following: band aids for the occasional cut or scrap, gum, hand sanitizer,vitamins, juice boxes, pregnancy tests for any oopies, fruit snakes, water, promo flyers, samplers, and potato guns. Gotta protect you all somehow from the crazies.
Clearly we go above and beyond the simple "merch girl" title and really, you need the both of us. We come as a package deal and will make your tour lives heavenly and stress free.
We loooooove to meet fly and rad people so send us a message!
