Your Look On Stage

[TRCat]

I'm the old fart in the group and would feel (and imho look) ridiculous trying to rock a "retro-grunge" look. Gotta keep it real!

Jeans that fit, Chucks, 90s band t-shirt. That is the uniform.

"Frat-boy tank top" according to totally wasted chick...

I think everyone should have one.I guess it depends on he type of band your in.

For me in a Pop Rock Band, I have been working on a 60's kind of look but contemporary at the same time.

I purchased this new Eastwood to enhance the look I am going after.

I have always dressed to confuse and annoy the hipster douche bag. Anything that they would deem uncool is exactly what I go for. For this Saturday night's gig, I've got a a Bucky Beaver t-shirt (Bucky Beaver's is a huge truck stop in south-central Texas) with the slogan "Power to the Beaver" on the back, and a gimme-cap from Jerry Woods Funeral Home in Nocona, Texas. Then I'll get up and shred their face off with some monster bass.

Hipsters love ironic trucker hats and tees. You're dressing to impress them, not annoy them!

 

[bongomania]

In fact, if I saw a guy get onstage wearing the hat and tee you described, my very first thought would be "what a hipster d-bag". Honestly!

 

[pklima]

Ah, but hipsters hate nothing more than people who do the exact same things they do, but do them unironically.

There you go! You get it! Forgot to mention I'm approaching 60, so by definition I can't be cool. Plus, I shouldn't be able to shred their little faces with said bass.

Well, approach it like you approach your playing. Of course you have your own style and your own way, but unless you're insufferably pretentious, you're thinking, "What's the best thing to play for the music we're making?" Do that with how you dress for the stage act.

If you're in a group that's at all commercial, then the look is part of being in the group, whether its jazz or pop rock or whatever. I'm not going to show up for my country-rock gig in black suit and tie, and I'm not going to show up for my jazz gig in jeans and a western shirt.

In a word, be professional, even if that means being professionally punk rock or whatever.

Ive got a similar look for when we play nicer venues.
Otherwise its black/brown Dickies or jeans, one of my favorite t-shirts, and sometimes a hat or beanie.

Jeans and sleeveless t-shirts.

Nice to see the bottom button undone! exactly how it is supposed to be worn!

 

[pedro]

You can't go wrong with black

Hmmm this could only be said by someone who hasn't had to play an outdoor gig in South Florida between the months of May thru October.

Hmmm,, Jaguar Bass, white shirt and vest.

Why does that resonate with me?

Great pics, they all say "Professional"

I wish I had some pics of me like yours for my resume.

And you ain't 18. You look great

Thanks, man. I work hard at what I do--and it is worth it.

Thanks, man. I work hard at what I do--and it is worth it.

And unlike others including me you can see that in your pics.

I have a busy summer gigging schedule, you have inspired me to work harder.

thanks
