As seen on TV

Ok, picture this – you're in a band. You're a bunch of young indie upstarts playing loud shouty music to kids barely old enough to go to your gigs. You get asked to be a guest on the BBC's popular music quiz show Never mind the Buzzcocks and you're not even the singer!! How does that work? Well it doesn't matter – but you need to look your best. So what do you wear? Your favourite t shirt of course. Which is exactly what Pennie from the Automatic did, donning his "Smile if You're Gay" t shirt for the nation to admire. We've even got a screencap of it.

And he's not the only one caught on camera. Steve Jones of T4 fame has been seen wearing our "Strictly for my Ninja's" shirt, while the drummer from the Fratellis wore the same shirt at the Reading Festival in 2006. We're not surprised, it's a nice shirt. As is our "Free Pete Doherty" shirt, the first t-shirt we ever made here at Balcony. The person wearing this one may not be famous, but we spotted him on the news, outside Court waiting for Pete. How apt.

If you spot anybody wearing a Balcony t shirt on screen, drop us an email with some proof (preferably a screen cap) and we'll get straight back to you. If we put it on the site then a reward lies in wait, which can’t be bad – so get spotting!
