Do you know how fuckin’ cool it is to donate $250 to some amazing local organizations??? That’s how much we were able to donate to Freedom House Detroit, National Lawyer’s Guild Detroit and Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition on Immigrants Rights! That’s on top of over $300 in direct donations 1/

For the record, I think the Montoyan Artesian Connection is probably the most underrated of the lambcore genre and definitely one of the more understated woven aligned bands of their time

some very kind souls have paid for supplies for 1000 1" pinback buttons, so I don't need your cash! But there are a lot of wonderful organizations that DO need your money, and that's how you will repay me when I give you some of these

012

bootleg garbo @bootleggarbage.com · 15/01/2026

went to the bar with these bad boys, left with probably 100 less buttons. pressing another 210 today, hoping to launch our fundraiser by this weekend!!! if you're local to Detroit/Southeast Michigan and want some, hit me up!!

bootleg garbo @bootleggarbage.com · 02/01/2026

bootleg garbo @bootleggarbage.com · 02/01/2026

New year, new bullshit! Once I get the production process nailed down, I'll share some more details. These will be available in small batches only since I will inevitably fuck up hundreds of these lol

Visited one of my favorite haunts, The Painted Lady Lounge aka Hamtramck’s best bar. I also turned buttons into beer, like some kind of hipster button Jesus. Next time you stop in at Painted Lady, take a selfie, send it to me and I’ll get you buttons. That’s the Bootleg Guarantee! #buttons #divebar
