What do you wear on a gig?

[tombowlus]

If it's remotely warm out, I am definitely most comfortable in shorts and a tank top (the rattier the better! ). I'm not a big fan of the heat, especially with stage lights helping the cause.

I think I was about to make a classic bass face, but I wasn't quite there yet...

Then there is the "transitional season" shorts and mildly funky shirt look. Apparently, the singer and I really excited by that F# I seem to be playing. The real gem in this photo is the guitar player and he leather pants!

Check him out in this shot (it must have been black shirt night, or something).

For reasons which may or may not be apparent, that guitar player is no longer with us.

This was actually a New Year's Eve gig, so it probably would have been prudent to wear a coat or something (outside, in Ohio, ya know), but again, stage lights can heat things up a bit. At any rate, the "cold weather gear" is composed of jeans and a long-sleeve shirt.

And then there is Halloween, when all bets are off!

Wow, I do play those Skjolds a lot, I guess!

Okay, here's one from the long-hair days, just for kicks.

Usually I wear a shirt and sometimes a waist coat, other times I wear a polo shirt.Last night I didn't have time to change so I had to wear this

Thick woolly jumper that you don't wear anything underneath and I don't have to right figure for topless (I'm a skinny guy weighing 6st 13lbs)

What do I wear? Generally, what you're seeing below: a rock/industrial-appropriate shirt (usually not a T-shirt... I prefer short-sleeve stuff with buttons and zippers), distressed black boot-cut jeans, goth/industrial boots, fingerless gloves, sometimes armbands and eyeliner (depending on whether or not my trench coat makes an appearance).

Oh, and who could forget my "signature" gig accessory, the one that seems to get the most notice and compliments/complaints: goggles.

I like t-shirts, and I like jerseys. This is my old Deuce McAllister (DEEEUUUUUUCCCEEE!!!) with jeans and white Chucks. At the world-famous Saturn Bar in New Orleans.

Seeing as how we are a metal tribute band, not your standard gig outfit per se. It is a blast but I'm looking forward to some gigs with my 2nd band requiring no costumes or wigs!

 

[EskimoBassist]

I've always thought that physically LOOKING like a band is very important. So now we all do.

 

[lousybassplayer]

jeans, boots, hat, shirt. stetson and tony llamas are normal for me anyway, but makes for a good stage outfit no matter what the setting.

 

[JimB52]

I usually wear black jeans and a black T or longsleeve patterned shirt.

varying tees and jeans but always steal toe boots... good for moving equipment and I like the security of knowing I could damage if I needed to kick some one...

I wore some gum for a couple hours last friday. Does anyone know how to get gum out of wool slacks without staining?

 

[zeppelinfreak]

High end gigs, ALWAYS a tux

Rock gigs at clubs, just jeans and a T Shirt

Used to do the full nine yards of punk kit (stretchies, patch vest, patched sweatshirt, boots, mohawk), but now I'm in a band thats not really punk...so I rock camo shorts, Carhartt logger jeans, skate shoes and T-shirts.
