Do you dress to impress?

axisus

I don't gig, but I'm really not the dress up type. T-shirt and jeans for me probably.

No.

Or if it's down the pub I just wear a suit. http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab217/Vizzage/Mobile Uploads/image_zps8816eaff.jpg

Surprisingly there aren't many pics on the band site for this

Yes basically!

Singer wears black, but the rest of us wear white shirts and pink ties in our cover band.

@MajorScale, Are you in a Ska band?

Majorscale

There's some talk of throwing some ska in the set but we are mostly rock n roll / pop covers from 50s to modern day

Handsome_Chris

Sorry, the hat threw me off. Sounds like you've got a great range of material to pull out though.

Majorscale

Ah yes, the hat...Just a bit of stage wear but by the end of the gig at least several people on the dance floor will have borrowed it for a laugh, it's become a bit of a trademark for me in the band!!!!

Handsome_Chris

Does this bear credence to what I said earlier about getting away with wearing stuff live which would look out of place on the high street?

ICBM

I wear jeans and T-shirts, but I have special ones for gigs - always black jeans, and usually a particular black T-shirt with a design I like (a bit like vasselmeyers, although I can't find a pic of it online). I usually wear a loose shirt over the top which I wouldn't normally wear elsewhere too.

Well I wouldn't wear the tie and hat together on the high street but I'd wear one or the other to suit the moment! Cant speak for the others in the band as I suspect I'm the band dandy! ;-)

Handsome_Chris

I wanted to wear a Venetian style mask when performing with one band I was with. It wasn't so much a fashion thing as much as I was ashamed to be seen with some of them. That band did pander to some arse trumpets.

I'm just glad to see that The Milky Bar Kid has found gainful employment as a drummer.

Mostly wedding gigs for us, so we have to look smart, but moreover we try to look like we're all in the same band.
Doesn't mean we all wear the same thing, as we feel that looks really naff sometimes, but generally stick to similar colours etc.

Shirt and tie, sometimes waistcoat, sometimes a t shirt and waistcoat etc so long as it keeps to the "theme".

For pubs, we tend to wear shirts and jeans, just cos the token effort of putting on your "gig shirt" helps to get your brain into gig mode..

The bit of changing into something that puts you into a gig frame of mind is important to me. I used to trim my beard into exotic shapes for a Saturday night gig, just to be that bit more rock n roll. I doubt if anybody noticed but it helped me.

Handsome_Chris

@EricTheWeary, I'm now thinking of this!

That's a good point. I had a black shirt with a red stripe down one sleeve for my old band. Just the routine of putting that on got me into "gig mode".

Hahahaha - and Errol Flynn's landed a guitarist post at last.
