Going as a zombie has its benefits, and some downsides to it. THe year I went as a zombie, with fake blood dripping out of my mouth and bloody handprints all over my shirt...well, lets just say the cleanup on my bass was not fun to do. That and it got stuck to my shirt. Otherwise you can just wear regular clothes which is nice.

This year I went as Osiris (in a Ramses King of Egypt costume, but our theme was gods was I was Osiris). It was pretty good. Its essentially a dress with a skirt and headpiece. The only downside was the headpiece that got a bit warm, but otherwise I was able to play perfectly fine.

This year my band played a show with Here Come The Mummies, the mummy costumes seem to work pretty well. I, on the other hand, was a banana. It was difficult to get the strap over my head and hard to maneuver at times, but if you dont have in-ears and the stage volume is too loud it does a good job of muffling the harshness. The crowd loved it.

My whole band (two guitars and me) went as Blue Man Group...... had no problems with the costume playing wise! If you do your makeup right it won't run even when you sweat (use greasepaint, not that cheap waterbased schtuff and powder it well). We were warm but not any worse than a normal gig.. even with the bald caps. Though, we didn't put anything on our hands (except accidental spray paint from the bald caps).. the real blue men group don't have to play strings so they can have blue gloves LOL.
The borrowed percussionist came in a giant bunny costume... that lasted about 5 minutes because he couldn't hear or see out of the head LOL

This is mine from two weeks ago. The sleeves have these triangular pieces that come out past the end of your hands. They kept either slipping inbetween my gut and the bass, or my fingers and the bass strings.

That and in one of the songs I use a Kazoo held up by a harmonica holder. I cut a hole in the mask to slide it in so I could still use it. It worked fine at home, but at the show the mask kept slipping and it didn't line up......

You can see me with the harmonica holder here, I pushed it out from in front of my face when I realized it wasn't working.


Here's a close up, that mask and hat were so damn hot.......

Yea, mon...

Here's my lame attempt at a Family Man/Robbie Shakespeare/Flabba Holt (etc..) impersonation from last year...

Funny thing was, some people thought the dreads were real - until I showed 'em my shaved head!
