Dom in Dorset Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 We play music for rednecks , to keep it simple we decided that we'd wear plaid shirts and baseball / trucker caps. (off ebay) we all dressed pretty much like that anyway. I also wear a Strickland Propane T shirt (also off ebay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1469747612' post='3100876'] Ah yes, that record shop was brilliant. Was it called Plastic Fantastic? Something like that anyway. It was there when I first started working at Aston Uni (2003), but alas closed shortly thereafter. :-( [/quote] Not Reddingtons Rare Records?

razze06 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've found a set of late 80s floral shirts in the back of my old wardrobe at my parents' house. Here they are in a pre-gig shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LayDownThaFunk Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thought I would bump this thread - Tonight I auditioned for a band looking for a bass player. Audiiton went well and they asked me to join there and then. Tight band with some catchy tunes - but they have a gimmick. On stage they wear jodhpurs and riding boots. Okay, some bands like to stand out from the crowd but is this necessary?! Could be a double denim onesie so I guess it's not that bad...

Unfortunately IME musicians who can't get into the non-musical spirit of the band never really fit in and generally don'y last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Problem with most stage gear now is it's cut for rail thin twenty somethings. Manufacturers should spare a thought for us middle aged fat bastards slogging round the pubs on a weekend. What do you mean 'diet'? It's just their way of saying 'retire you sad git' I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The59Sound Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Is it still a cliche for musicians to wear all black on stage? Just bought some new black jeans for gigs and am slightly worried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'm amazed by this post. In all my yeas of playing, I've only ever had time to change my shirt once from the clothes I arrived in. By the time the PA is lugged there, set up and everything sound checked, there's only a few minutes before we go on. All the others are shining like new pins and I'm the scruffy silly billy with jeans and a black shirt on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_L Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'd love to be able to claim a Gram Parsons/ Mike Mills style Nudie suit as stage wear, but the originals are a bit £££ and I've never seen a decent copy for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
