TSPTR presents TWIN PEAKS

Twin Peaks originally aired in 1990 and 1991 and revolutionised television storytelling.

TSPTR meets BOB CHATT

In 1977, when Bob Chatt was ten years old, he began actively collecting militaria. “It was history, it was heraldry, it was patriotic; but really, to a young kid, it was just plain cool. My focus zeroed in on Vietnam War memorabilia in 1979 when I saw “Apocalypse Now”. It was awesome and I knew this was what I wanted to collect.”

February 28 2024

In 1976 Francis Ford Coppola began work on a project that would would test his creative, financial, and psychological capacities to the limit. The adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella, Heart of Darkness, penned by fellow scribe and director John Milius in the late ‘60s under the title Apocalypse Now, shifted the setting of Conrad’s story from the jungles of Africa at the turn of the century to the deadly landscape of the Vietnam War.

TSPTR x HOT CHIP

October 31 2023

“‘New Best Friend’ is a brand new song of mine which feels very much of the Peanuts-gang world and also related to Hot Chip. It is presented here as a solo performance, recorded in one afternoon with the help of Russ from TSPTR and Jake Skinner at Brighton Road Studios. We hope you enjoy the warm feels of this along with your Hot Chip x TSPTR Peanuts clothing.” - Alexis Taylor
