I think bands back then just gave less of a f**k and it was more about the music than their hairstyle or clothing. Not just bassists, Kurt wore a few fetching outfits himself!

Rock has always flirted with dressing up. It’s supposed to be subversive. Bank Clerk rock would probably be crap.  On stage is one of the few places you can be ‘working’ and wear whatever the hell you want to. Alice Cooper, Cobain (as has been said), Bowie, the Stones in drag, Queen in I Want To Break Free... etc, etc.

In the Glam Rock era, most of the bands used to make an exhibition of themselves. Steve Priest of Sweet, Pete Overend Watts, Trevor Bolder et cetera.

The corollary to this was Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads whose haircut and stage clothes occasionally caused her to be mistaken for a man.

The cover of the EP was of a big glove.

Priceless.

Mates used to keep me going about liking bands with "chic bassists". I was into Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins

Indeed, what the world needs now is another boy (or girl) singing group like I need a hole in the head.

Interestingly, the bass player is seen playing an acoustic in other promo slots, and the bass is played by someone else.
