Anyone else put a lot of thought into what to wear for shows?

Alien DNA · 04-17-2008, 03:08 AM

I tend to wear a slogan on my tshirts...my fav is "kill all dj's" but anything black is a must!!!

But comfort has to have some importance too!!

My band concentrates on making our shows a party as well as a performance. And it's my job to be the most ridiculous person on stage, so I wear a cape along with whatever else I'm feeling like wearing. For our last, I wore a cape, RATM shirt, white gym shorts, a black sock, a blue sock, and my rainbow painted Converse and I hung an air freshener that said "Shut the hell up" on my guitar.

I'm thinking about switching the cape out with this Disney Princess hooded towel I found at Wal-Mart. The hood has a crown on it.

Where's Noodles, he's gotta be the king of hilarious t-shirts on stage.

I usually put on some pants and a t-shirt. if it's cold i might go for a longsleeve.

interesting choice of stage attire, Ari.

hmmm

... where have i seen this before...

yeah, BDUs rule for live playing. for me, it's just the simple fact that they're REALLY comfortable.

Usually a music t-shirt and jeans...

However, I've been known to play in a pirate costume. I've worn a cowboy hat a few times. Done The "Motley Crue" thing I guess, with a wig, eyeliner and nail varnish, etc.

(that was a for a school BOTB, so I'm allowed right?

) and the santa hat's had an outting a couple of times

I wear jeans or camo shorts depending on the temperature and a band t-shirt generally. I like to show my influences, especially when they don't really seem to fit with the music. I wore my All Shall Perish tee last night at a screamo/metalcore gig with my band playing Poison the Well type music, so it raised a few eyebrows. My singer is the same - The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.

I try to avoid the clichés of band shirts, camo, cargo/BDU pants, etc. and just dress comfortably, usually in dark clothes.
