As we wind down to the end of 2016, and the holiday festivities rev up, looking back on this past year starts to occupy more of my thoughts. It has been an incredible year of creativity, growth, new relationships and business opportunities. But first, let me just get this out in the open: yes, I am hoping you’ll consider giving the gift of Gearhead product this holiday season. It is not too late. Read on for freebies and last minute sales!  Gearhead Holiday! Water color painting by Cuz'n Bill Lorenz of Sacramento Tattoo The year began with the long-awaited issue No. 19 of Gearhead Magazine. If you missed it, you can still buy physical copies to flip through at the discounted rate of $3 now until 12/31/16. For those of you who dig the digital format, get your FREE digital copy to peruse at your leisure! Click here to download now. Ends 12/31/16. New t-shirts and accessories have abounded this year as well, necessitating extensive appearances at various car shows including the infamous Viva Las Vegas and Mooneyes Xmas show. Check out the photos on Instagram and Facebook. Taking a break from May through July, a litter of corgi pups made a guest appearance, produced by shop dog Twix. Gearhead went on hiatus until these little rascals were old enough to go to their new forever homes. Miss Cool Luci Fur stayed behind to become the newest Gearhead Mascot, joining Dooly and Twix in patrolling the grounds and protecting the shop. I posted a day-by-day update on my personal Facebook; Click here for pictures! It was alot of work, but one of the most rewarding productions I've been involved in.  Gearhead shop dogs corgi-mix Dooly (3), Twix (corgi, 2) and Luci (corgi, 7 mo.) Gearfest 2016 rocked at the end of September with knock out performances by the reformed Red Planet, Roxy Suicide (featuring Dave from The Mansfields) Pat Todd and the Rankoutsiders (former Lazy Cowgirls), Sacramento’s Troublemakers and a guest performance by Leesa G from The Creamers. Hot rods, and a Ms. Gearheadcontest rounded out the outstanding night. There will be a series of videos coming to You Tube in 2017, I promise. But till then, check out the photos here. Renewing relationships with some of our best retail customers rounded out the rest of this year. Click here for a full list of stores carrying GEARHEAD products. I firmly believe in celebrating the famed Twelve Days of Christmas. It’s so much more fun to get gifts through out the end of the year. According to the Music Business Association, Compact Discs are still the most popular music gift given at Christmas! Stuff your stockings with some good ol’ rock & roll; many Gearhead Compact Discs are now only $2! This sale ends Monday Dec. 26, 2016 so order today! Back issues of Gearhead Magazine are also on sale for $1 so stock up and have some weird and wild stuff to read while you hang out for the holidays! This incredible deal lasts through the end of the year, 12/31/16. And finally, all orders placed will receive a free digital download card stuff with great GEARHEAD music, as well as a reusable tote bag, while supplies last! Thank you all for sharing this ride with me. I am grateful for the support you have shown through out the year. Your wonderful letters and purchases this year have fueled this journey and I can’t wait for the fun stuff coming in 2017, including some new records, a new magazine and some killer new threads.  Michelle, Bill and two of their corgis, Twix and Dooly take a holiday ride in the hot rod Wishing you all a very happy prosperous holiday season filled with joy and health, and remember,
Live Fast, Be Weird! Rev. Michelle  Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Gearhead.
We are grateful for you, our customers, friends and fellow hot rod and punk enthusiasts. Wishing you and yours a very special Thanksgiving holiday! It seems like it was just yesterday that we celebrated Gearfest back in September, and now it’s almost Thanksgiving! I guess the saying time flies when you’re having fun applies in this case; we’ve been having a blast here! Those of you who weren’t able to join us for Gearfest can check out the pictures here and the write up here. We’re already working on next year’s party, but more on that soon. The holidays are right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking of those special gifts for family, friends and of course yourself! Spend your cash at the big box stores and black Friday sales, or support local, unique, and kustom? Those questions loom larger now than ever before.  It’s been crankin’ here at GEARHEAD HQ, getting kustom products ready for the winter season. How about a warm Gearhead hoodie, a handcrafted oil-tanned leather biker wallet, or a custom banner for your buddy’s shop wall? These are just a few of the new items out now for the holiday season!  And while supplies last every order gets a free digital download card full of GEARHEAD tunes to keep or use as a stocking stuffer. On a final note, our deepest condolences go out to Miriam and the Norton Records crew with the passing of head-honcho Billy Miller. Our scene wouldn’t be the same with out the work those two have done digging up obscure wild rock and roll. You will be deeply missed Billy.  Wherever this Thanksgiving weekend takes you, be safe, listen to some great tunes, and know that GEARHEAD is here, keepin’ things cool and interesting till you get back around it. We are thankful every day we get to keep our finger on the pulse of the coolest rock, the baddest cars and the weird and wild world of kustom kulture. Happy Thanksgiving!
