dmccombe7 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've just joined a 70's Glam Rock band altho at very early stages of deciding set list and what type of functions the band wants to do. First meet and greet kind of thing next week. The guys are all well experienced from tribute bands and played some fair size gigs with their respective tribute's. This was a side project for us all. The singer has been doing it as a solo act with backing tracks for a few yrs now and decided he's like to do it as a full band. This will be the full outfits to match very much like a tribute band. Are there any other bassists on here that play 70's Glam Rock covers and if so where did you buy your stage gear from. Any suggestions welcome .......within reason of course and keep it clean please.

martthebass Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I’m in a glam rock covers band based a wee bit south of you in the Yorkshire, East Midlands area. You can get ex. Fancy dress outfits fairly reasonably or go down the bespoke route and get stuff made (not cheap though). For myself, I’m always on the lookout for tasteless, glittery stuff and 70s clothing on eBay and the like. Be aware that a lot of suitable stuff is ‘womens’ so you’ll have to get over that . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 The leather was more Sweet's heavier rock image tho. I kinda always associate with the later US Glam rock bands. Its an option tho but certainly not real leather as too hot (temperature wise that is) for stage gear. Have looked at leather look materials tho but thinking more on this kinda stuff.
