#22. Although some might see something different when they see IPO, when I’m branding these initials it stands for International Pop Overthrow, an annual festival of pop music.
Beginning in Los Angeles in 1998 by David Bash, and now a worldwide event, it’s quite a large undertaking when running in Los Angeles. With around 7-8 bands a night, running over 2 weeks, it’s nearly impossible to see it all (unless you’re David Bash). But I always catch a few shows, and for close to 10 years now I’ve been running the merchandise table for a couple of shows a year.
Unless I’m mistaking, this shirt from 2001, designed by Ken West, is the last shirt ever sold with an IPO logo. And that’s a shame considering some of Steve Stanley’s great designs associated with later IPOs. Since it’s been 10 years since the last shirt, maybe they will produce some shirts for this year’s festival.
