@LOUBRUTUS ON TIKTOK

Wanna see some of the coolest and rarest music memorabilia in the history of Western Civilization? Check out @LouBrutus on TIKTOK! He’s primarily using his account to post pieces from his fabled collection of concert and music industry souvenirs. Hit the links to see a mask from Paul Gray of Slipknot, a guitar signed by all four original members of Motley Crue, an autographed makeup kit from Mudvayne, a hand-decorated tambourine from Stevie Nicks, an original 1976 “Destroyerposter autographed by all of KISS, a backstage sign from the Molson Polar Ice Beach Party tagged by both Metallica and Veruca Salt, as well as a Jim Root stage guitar from the first Slipknot tour that’s been signed by all nine members. There are tons of other vids and Lou is adding several new ones each week. Follow his account here.

Brutus will be taking time over the holiday season to further organize this collection of ticket stubs, backstage passes, laminates, set lists, posters, guitar picks, and the other music memorabilia. He estimates there are more than ten thousand individual pieces all told. The plan is to present a proposal in January 2023 to publishers for a coffee table book of the pieces entitled One Man – Three Thousand Concerts: The Greatest Collection of Rock N Roll Shit in History. Interested publishers can reach out directly to Lou’s agent in the literary world Bob Diforio of the D4EO Literary Agency here.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2021

Tis the season to unveil this year’s holiday card art from LB and Darla the Wonder Dog!

This Christmas the card was inspired by the Star Wars universe with Lou appearing as Han Solo and Darla as a Chewbacca the wookie, complete with a bandolier made of bones! As in previous years, the art for the card was done by Lou’s longtime partner in artistic crime Alan MacBain.

To get a card, you must send a card! The address is Lou & Darla – PO Box 361 – Arnold MD 21012. Cards are on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Each card is hand-signed by Lou and Darla. We’ll also include Lou’s “Sonic Warrior” guitar pick, Darla’s Metallica-themed “Master of Puppies” guitar pick, and a metallic rainbow “Fear and Loathing at the North Pole” sticker.

UPDATE: The “Fear and Loathing at the North Pole” stickers are now gone! However, we’ll include another sticker in its place for the remaining cards.

UPDATE: We are sorry to say we are now out of this year’s Star Wars-themed cards BUT we will send a card from a previous year year in its place. All cards are signed by Lou and Darla. Plus, you’ll still get the guitar picks and a sticker, too!

Thank you and Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
