Trash and Vaudeville opened in 1975, and has been providing Rock n’ Roll to wear ever since.
Born out of the 1970’s rock and punk scene on St. Marks Place in New York City, Trash and Vaudeville has always provided a wide variety of alternative fashion for Rockers, Mods, Punks, Goths, Rockabillies, and everyday working class heroes who just wanted to walk and dress on the wild side.
Trash and Vaudeville was founded by Ray Goodman in June of 1975. Ray discovered St. Marks Place at the age of 13, and never left. He was immediately attracted to the incredible energy that surged throughout the block. Whatever the scene was – Beatniks – Hippies – Glam – Punk – it was all going down on St. Marks Place.
Ray spent most of his free time on St. Marks Place. There was the Electric Circus, the Fillmore East, and CBGBs, all within a few blocks of the area. Some of the greatest Rock n’ Roll Meccas all right there. Ray’s love for Rock music inspired him to open a clothing store that would be entirely influenced by Rock n’ Roll.
Right away Trash and Vaudeville attracted musicians and bands looking to dress in a style that embraced their individuality and creativity. St. Marks Place has always been a gathering place for the ‘cool’, with an energy that still flows today.
The store has been in its original location since opening. The list of artists, musicians, actors, street dwellers, teenage rebels, and people from all over who have shopped at the store goes on and on. Whoever it is, when they leave, they look and feel great!
We hope everybody can get a piece of that dream, that feeling, that spirit, that youth which is both classic and new, but always Rock n’ Roll.

ANGRY, YOUNG AND POOR began as an independent punk store on North Prince Street in Lancaster PA in 1995 by Jeff and John (myself). We’ve known each other since pre-kindergarten and have been into punk rock since the early 80s when our older brothers, neighborhood punks, college radio DJs and local punk shop owners turned us onto what good music sounded like.
When one of those local punk stores closed doors in 1994 we lamented the loss of the only place in town to get decent music (not to mention shirts and other stuff). After a few beers one evening we began to fantasize about what would be the perfect record store, and thus the idea for AYP was born. Neither of us had any other serious career opportunities lined up so we figured, why not? If it didn’t work out we could always return to manual labor.
A friend’s Dad was our mentor for the first year or so. Neither of us had business experience, only punk rock experience, and he helped us ask and answer the many questions needed to help get AYP off the ground. We pooled what little money we had and borrowed from family to cover start-up expenses, found the North Prince Street location, spent a few months redecorating, ordering inventory, building display stuff and promoting, and opened our doors on Black Friday, November 25, 1995.
The name Angry, Young and Poor comes from a song by the Damned, Lively Arts “culture’s just a bore when you’re Angry, Young and Poor”. Jeff’s brother had Angry, Young and Poor written on his chuck taylors in the mid-80s, and I guess the phrase stuck with us.
We built a mailing list from our customers and ads in MRR and in 1997 we assembled our first cut-and-paste catalogue. We soon discovered that there are thousands of small towns like Lancaster that are not lucky enough to have a punk store. We sent out a few more catalogues, but catalogues were difficult because of the limited nature of punk rock merchandise. Often by the time the catalogue was ready to ship, half of the stuff in the catalogue would be sold out and no longer available.
Thank you to the genius who thought up the internet. We launched our first website about 1998 and that quickly became the main way we reached you people. Our last catalogue was printed in 2001. Since that time we’ve redone our website several times and it continues to be the main way we bring punk rock to the masses.

The Attic Shoppe Trading Company is a family owned store and art studio. We offer a variety of unique items that feature our shoppe’s original artwork and designs. Currently we sell through our online shoppe here, various online sellers and attend genre conventions and events throughout the year. Our designs feature fantastical themes with a special love of Neo-Victorian, Steampunk and all things Halloween. Our current specialty is tarot decks and collectible cards. The cards you find here you won’t find anywhere else!
Our shoppe and studio was founded October of 2013 as a joint project between aunt and niece and the desire to offer our unique items in a more organized fashion. Our first major product was the introduction of our Isidore Tarot deck, which gave us a wonderful boost in popularity and helped us expand our shoppe throughout 2013 and 2014. 2015 saw our second year anniversary and a number of shoppe growing pains. The demand for our products has been wonderful and keeping up with that demand has become our full time job, right next to the creation of new items.
Recently we made the move from West Michigan to Southwest Ohio, where we are currently beginning the process of becoming a proper brick and mortar shoppe. As 2015 comes to a close we’re looking towards 2016 to be a very big year for us. We’re glad you stumbled upon us and we hope you continue to keep an eye on our lil shoppe and watch us grow!
The Creeping Museum, born in a North Portland laundromat in the spring of 2016, is the nonprofit creative vision and labor of love of two friends trying to save the world with art.
Our mission is to help independent creators share small works of strange and unusual art with a wider audience, while supporting some of our favorite causes. We believe every lapel is a potential gallery, and that there’s a curator creeping inside each and every one of us.
If you’re an artist interested in collaborating with us, drop us a line at hello@creepingmuseum.com.

She’s been fortunate enough to work with some of her favorite cultural institutions including the National Civil Rights Museum, MoMA, Sesame Workshop, and National Geographic. In addition to creepy art, she loves books and coffee, scary movies, cuckoo clocks, and making pictures with thread.
Layla (@hircumvetulum) is an artist, hair stylist, and salon owner. Raised by artists, and trained as a printmaker/bookbinder, she’s been “making” in one form or another her whole life. She loves art (hi-brow to no-brow), music ( ’50’s r&b to doom metal), horror movies (the ghostier the better), and could easily survive on a steady diet of meatball subs and cafe con leche.

I am a Seattle-based sculptor with a fascination with antiquity and the passage of time. Through my work I explore tradition, myth, and belief. Spanning the gamut from the pharaonic funeral masks of unknowable space gods to the tactile remains of pre-Christian deities, my sculptures are the relics of fantastical civilizations and lost tribes.
