Dom in Dorset Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1341493921' post='1719975'] The day someone tries to dictate what I wear on stage is the day I leave the band. Remind me again why I',m not in a band.....? [/quote] Because you wouldn't wear this: Quote

Bassman Steve Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I joined an Abba tribute band at the time they were going from part backing tape band to fully live band. As I learned the piano for many years I started miming on piano to the backing tapes - dressed as Benny, in a variety of dreadful satin outfits. Luckily none survive. You'd think it was money for old rope but miming is hard work!! Quote

jaydentaku Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 [quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1341499082' post='1720093'] [/quote] Your guitarist looks like Simon Pegg. i won't tell you what the rest of you look like. Quote
seashell Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 And I didn't even get paid for looking like this! (I would like to point out that I have a cushion stuffed up the front of my dress because I was supposed to be pregnant. All part of the plot, Micheal!) Quote

[/quote]... Hmmm... Well, it was a full 'Star Trek' band called 'the Crew' ..We did funky/jazzy versions of all the Trek themes plus many Sci-Fi TV & film tunes... Played a bunch of conventions (...some of the weirdest gigs I've ever done!) ... Did several TV appearances, including the Big Breakfast & MTV's Hanging Out... & it was a great gig in some ways.... but not what I was really wanting to do at the time!... Quote

Paramount would only grant us a licence to play at Trek conventions if we paid them £10,000!... & threatened to sue us if we continued to do so without their licence!... So it ended...

chaypup Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341494524' post='1719997'] Not surprising, really. I'd rather wear the dress and wig than be seen dead in that white shirt/black t-shirt combo. What was he thinking? Plus, he's proving publicly that he's a miserable stuck-in-the-mud party pooper, too. Though he [i]is [/i]a guitarist, so... what d'you expect? [/quote] Wig? Wig? That's my bloody hair! Quote

Fubar Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1341476024' post='1719468'] I have a series of gigs coming up depping on bass for a local (I think slightly tongue in cheek) country band. [/quote] I actually play for a professional Country Music band. You can be assured however, I would never ever wear a shirt like that!! Quote
