First Gig coming up, what shall I wear other than clean pants

[Truckstop]

If you're not wearing at least one hat you're doing life wrong.

More helpfully, I'd suggest a pair of decent fit dark jeans and a dark button-down shirt (long sleeves. Short sleeves always look horrid).

Pants? Not very Rock N Roll is it?

All you should have under your trousers is a cucumber wrapped in tin foil.

I have my first gig of sorts coming up next Saturday, but I am at a loss as to what I should wear.

It is in my ex-bosses large garden, there is normally approx, 100 people invited to an all day/evening garden party/bbq.

We are essentially playing Queen tunes so I am J Deacon, what should I wear other than clean pants and a smile?

Should I go with something Deacon'esque or something suitable generic, as a fat lad I fear the small yellow shorts are out

Definitely a good hat.

A gentleman never gigs without a hat.

Couldn't think of an obvious John Deacon outfit so have gone for this.

Will of course add suitable trousers and footwear, bit breezy otherwise.

Hope it goes well tonight

Are all gigs a good alternative cure for constipation or just the first one?

[discreet]

Good luck. Some more ideas for you...



I think the pith helmet and white boots is a particularly good look.
He's got yellow pants too, so that clinches it, really...

The laxative effect decreases as you, er... get more gigs under your belt.

I made it through the gig and enjoyed it too, only problem was I using the bass rig that was already in place and it just couldn't compete with the pretend Brian and pretend Roger.

Next time, I will make sure I use my rig or at least soundcheck.

Also if I had a pound for every time somebody told me to cheer up and enjoy it I would have £12 at least!

Think we will widen the song list to beyond Queen, hopefully I can get some Who in and go dressed in a skeleton suit and continue to look suitably miserable.
