Where do you work? Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. In highschool my buddies thought it'd be cool for our band to wear the various uniforms from the fast-food restaurants we currently or previously worked for.

i used to work in a care home where my uniform would make lemmy look like a cross dresser

I thought your picture was from the 80's before I saw the date stamp

Sure. Whenever I've got a gig right after work and duck out of work early to get there, or play something short during lunch (that happened once), I show up for work in a suit and tie. That makes it look like the gig is Really Important and Classy so nobody at work questions why need to leave.

If I don't need to leave work early, I'll just wear something fairly colorful, and maybe make some simple adjustment like this:



If you take your shirt off, nobody's gonna care that you're wearing nice wool trousers.

Worked a 12 hour shift at Radio Shack then drove straight to a gig an hour away. No time to change and I had just enough time to set up before the gig started. I also started falling asleep on stage.

I worked for Coca-Cola when I was in college and played many gigs in my Coca-Cola uni.

I'm a copier tech and have done many a gig "right after work" (slipping out of work at 4:30 for a 5pm gig or doing gigs during my lunch. usually only gives me time to change my shirt

[pie_man_25]

I had to do one straight from work once, without changing, I was subbing for another band over the summer. It was funny - a bunch of suited up guys, a pretty a$$ chick singer, and then me - unshaven, torn and dirt-stained jeans and sunbleached, filthy T-shirt, long-ish hair, and having a generally unpleasant demeanor. This makes me wonder who was dressed more appropriately for a country barn dance - the suits, or the guy who just got off of work at a farm! That was silly, no pics unfortunately.

My job requires rubber boots and rain pants, I usually bring extra shoes but ivwas running late... guess who played in slip on rubber boots (the kind you buy for 15 at wallmart) and black shorts!

you shouldnt worry about what you're wearing, you should be worrying about how youre going to get with the girl in the red coat
