Yes.
Why isn't it important to them? As outlined in most of the posts it's fairly important to the audience.

What level are we talking - does it really have any impact on anyone what your local pub band wears? I couldn't care less, really, and I'm into fashion and take great care in my own appearance. For functions and weddings and maybe originals bands appearance certainly does matter, but down your local, where everyone else is dressed casually, I can't see why anyone would have a problem with jeans or whatever.
For the band where each member works 40+ hours a week in an office and does the odd gig with a group of mates, who cares what they look like. They're musicians doing what they love for the evening.
Asking why someone wouldn't care is fairly odd, too. I'm sure we all do things others wouldn't, the way we talk or wear our hair or whatever.
Teachers or office managers shouldn't have tattoos or dyed hair either, I guess?
