Poll: How should one dress for an open mic?

[DChalo]

JW, my band is trying to get experience so we are planning on playing a bunch of open mics and wanted to know if there was a standard/acceptable way to dress. How would YOU do it?

 

[markoc]

If you're looking to get gigs by going to an open mic, dress like you would if it was your gig.

Edit, didn't vote as this is not a yes or no question.

 

[Stumbo]

Yes, you should dress!

 

[wmhill]

a nice dress would probably class up an open mic night.....

 

[buldog5151bass]

Like any other public appearance or job interview, dress like you want the spot.

 

[catcauphonic]

I voted Yes ... since the law says you must be dressed

But seriously ... open mics are pretty informal, but it's a good time to polish your bands look. Dress for the gigs you hope to get, i suppose.

Casual

If you are going dressed to kill you better be bringing the goods.

for this week, choose a costume:

the poll has little benefit here

 

[Fat Freddy]

I usually dress to the left

 

[elgecko]

Everyone knows you're supposed to dress like a Juggalo at open mics!

 

[DChalo]

Thanks guys. That's what I was thinking (not the juggalo thing). We need live footage of our band for a facebook page, so I think we should be dressed sorta nice at least

 

[Oddly]

I voted yes, as I imagine turning up naked might not get you the sort of experience you're probably looking for.
Or it might...

 

[BassUrges]

If you're going to undress, you'd better be worth looking at.

That said, I'd attend the open mic as a pure spectator and see what everyone else does.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

Yes or no... rather implies "wear clothes or do not wear clothes".

I vote NUDE. I dares ya!

Semi-casual at most. You don't need to go overkill. Maybe a nice dress shirt, good pair of jeans and clean shoes.

 

[bassliner50]

A meat dress would give an edge.

 

[bolophonic]

Dress one notch higher than the clientele at any gig, no matter what.

 

[twinjet]

A meat dress would give an edge.

They'd simply go gaga for the band.

Maybe
