Gig story (not mine)

jeffreybar · #1 08-09-2009, 01:33 AM

So I work as a bouncer in this bar/restaurant. Pretty mellow place...families with little kids eat there pretty regularly (including tonight). On some Saturdays, a local honkey-tonk band plays (much too loudly). Tonight, about 3/4 of the way through their last set, a girl who is dancing with the band pulls her dress off halfway through a song and starts dancing around in just her undies and bra. Of course, we have to go and get her to put it back on (but neither myself nor the bartender notice for a couple of minutes as our attention is elsewhere). After the show, I hear from the drummer that apparently she had unhooked her bra and was looking back at the bassist for permission, to which he shook his head. The bouncer in me is thankful...bad enough that she took her dress off. But I have to give the guy props for restraining himself nonetheless.

I was playing a benefit for a fire department once that had an all ages crowd. This gal came up and lifted her shirt while I was singing. No bra. A few minutes later she pulls her pants down.

I am all for nakidity at a gig but not when you have little kids in the audience.

Drugs? Alcohol?

No pics, no nakkid girl....

Reminds me of that scene in Road House

What is wrong with you, man?

I went to a group called Atmosphere (hip-hop from Minneapolis) in St. Petersburg last weekend, and a girl near the stage lifted up her shirt at the vocalist, Slug. He stopped, and asked her why she would disrespect herself by doing something like that, and please keep her shirt on. As much as I like to see topless girls, it was refreshing to see someone ask a girl to please have some self-respect. A bra was also thrown onstage, and was immediately returned, though probably not to the original owner. Very cool.

lol...it's one of those on-duty/off-duty things. If I was free of responsibility for it, I'm sure I'd be all for the ceremonial removal of the bra. But when I'm working and it's coming up on 1am and I'm getting tired and already old, I mostly just want everything to go smoothly so I can close up and go home. Plus, I'd hate to have to go as a witness on behalf of my employer against a girl who couldn't keep her clothes on because someone in the audience was genuinely offended. I don't really think that people should be offended -- it's something we're too touchy about as a culture -- but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people are, and I have to deal with them even after she puts her clothes back on.

"Girl please, don't treat me like you treat a toy
You wouldn't look twice if I was the pizza boy
You ain't got to flash me your ass and tits
I'd rather fantasize that you're a rap advocate"

That's some lyrics off their 2007 "Strictly Leakage" album. I'm still bummed I missed that show.

I was playing this little club down in south east Indiana, I always wear a funny shirt when I play. This particular night I wore the "Boobies make me smile" shirt. So, late into the second set there was an older lady drinking & dancing on my side of the stage giving me the look. She tried to lift her top to make me smile but every time she tried she'd stagger back, nearly fall down & spill her drink.

Maybe the chick had nasty boobs or she was really fat or something and he only said that as an excuse to have her put her shirt back on...
(I would have.)

LOL. Man, can't decide if that's funny or sad...

(decided: both)

That's proof there IS a God after all.

The kind, loving God of the New Testament, not the angry vengeful God of the Old...

If a bra was thrown on stage (to me) , I´ll hang it on my bass headstock and play the rest of the show with it hanging on my bass !
