Seashell2 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) It depends on the type of music really. When it was rock, I'd be in black jeans and a black lacy top with various bits of silver jewellery. In cold and draughty venues I'd add an ankle length black cardigan with ostrich feather trim. If more pop and lighter music was on the set list, I'd wear similar but without so many skulls 🙂 Country requires a long checked shirt, black cowboy hat and a shoe string tie. Now I'm playing more sophisticated stuff, which is even a bit jazzy. So I've started to wear dresses - always black or red. Sunglasses go well with this look, although if it's too dark you can't read the set list 🙂 Always wear long sleeves and low heels! Edited January 31, 2022 by Seashell2 Edited to add - and leather trousers always go down well. Ooh matron! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm always minded to think of the following quote by Lemmy: "If you're going to be a f*****g rock star go be one. People don't want to see the guy next door on stage; they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you'd never meet in ordinary life." While anyone who's ever met me will confirm I don't scream of "rockstar" I do try and make a bit of an effort rather than looking like I'm just nipping in to town to buy some baked potatoes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I wear t- or polo shirts with the ska band, and a long-sleeved shirt (sleeves rolled up part way) with the soul band. I don't like playing in unrolled long sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elvis tribute I used to play in had short-sleeve uniform shirts however usually it's a loud shirt with the sleeves rolled up to 3/4 length over a plain T-shirt or black shirt and loosely knotted white tie, both with black moleskin jeans.

Grimalkin Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I make the effort. My underpants get washed every three weeks whether they need it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 My 1st function gig was a xmas party with a medieval banquet theme (they even had a court jester)...our singer said "I've hired us costumes" He arrived with three 3 musketeers costumes! The only member who turned up correctly attired was our drummer (it was his work do). The wig and tights were really, really, f ing annoying whilst playing. I prefer short sleeved shirts or a polo top 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 One band I dep for has a ‘Hawaiian shirt’ schtick going on, so there’s that, but otherwise just jeans and t-shirt. I can’t abide things round my wrist when I’m playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goingdownslow Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I can go with rolled up shirt sleeves but rolled up coat/jacket sleeves...why? Take your coat off if it is too warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
