The Atticus Music Tour 2009... Has just been announced. But no, this announcement does not come from AMT '09, but from the sponsor itself. And how is that, exactly? ...Drum roll please... VOGSTER ENTERTAINMENT, LLC. Recognize that name? You should! Vogster is the group behind the new, 'persistent next-gen shooter' CrimeCraft. I'll be truthful with you. I've never heard of that, but the fact that that game's sub-genre is abbreviated "PWNS" really says something about these guys; They truly do understand what kind of acronym we gamers want in a sub-genre!

About Atticus Clothing



The ATTICUS vision is fashion for today's youth, whilst giving this generation a choice. We create clothes for those who create music and have built our reputation through countless tours, hours in the studio, late nights and after shows. We are the friend with the connections, the friend with the van, the friend with an extra room. We were there from the start.



ATTICUS was there when the band graduated from van to bus. For the kid who doesn't quite fit the mold of today's saturated skate/surf culture, ATTICUS provides a choice. A brand that is grounded in the culture of music, founded and run by musicians. Beyond dropping off product at the show, these artists are our friends and family and count on us to make them look good on and off stage.
