lurksalot Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Charity shops , Joe browns and I have a couple of sh*teShirts , they are quite horrible , the worst part is the logo on the front though [url="https://www.sh*teshirts.com/products/sh*teshirts"]https://www.sh*teshirts.com/products/sh*teshirts[/url] Quote
Dom in Dorset Posted July 29, 2016 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
tauzero Posted July 29, 2016 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? Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Bit of Primarni hits the spot everytime. Quote

seashell Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1469701710' post='3100401'] My latest stage shirt came from here: [url="https://www.voidclothing.net/"]https://www.voidclothing.net/[/url] Also had some shocking jeans from the likes of Run & Fly brand via Amazon. Shocking as in really shouldnt be worn by someone my build & age [/quote] I've seen the black and white striped ones, and I'm still recovering! :-) Quote

razze06 Posted September 13, 2016 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
paul h Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I just bought a nice check shirt from Primarni for six quid! Quote

LayDownThaFunk Posted February 8, 2017 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... Quote

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
solo4652 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Affleck's Palace in Manchester? Online, too. My son used to get all his punky/goth/skate clothes there. http://www.afflecks.com/ Quote
KevB Posted February 9, 2017 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

The59Sound Posted August 13, 2018 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

itsmedunc Posted August 13, 2018 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

Never bought the idea of "It's all about the music, man". Quote
Andy_L Posted August 14, 2018 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
