[bluewine]

I'm going to PM you a little info on my boss.He's 82,but you'd never know that from his energy.[/QUOTE]

Good God! 82 and still gigging, that is simply beautiful. We should all be so lucky.

 

[jive1]

I find that no, matter what I wear,I still tend to stick out.

Still can't figure out why that is.

Yeah, you need a haircut.

 

[bluewine]

every time i see one of those i recall a friend of mine.... back in the early seventies,he had a cowboy shirt,which he proudly wore into one of the northern bc logging town bars,that used to be pretty rough places at times.....while standing at the urinal some huge logger asked him if he had the "matching panties that went with that shirt".....he somehow avoided the beating he thought he was about to get but he never wore it again

Hmmm, matching panties? That might not be a bad idea

it's a really funny story if you know the guy,or anything about the northern towns like that.....

ok, that one stung.

 

[chris.gotfunk]

For me, it's either nice jeans or cargo pants, button up, vest (optional), wrist bands (one white one red), skinny tie (optional), and a cabbie (must have!)

 

[jive1]

ok, that one stung.

Hey, lots of folks make their best cash playing to a niche market. Old ladies need love too.

not from me they don't

well the oldies band market doesnt get the 18-25 market quite like an inventive post-hardcore band does haha.

i doubt you'd be as interested in them anyway. well.. other than looking at them. i think most women over 25 look like horses (as a matter of principle). im sure a mature grown gent would think otherwise.

bottom line, jimmy, if you want some younger chicks, play some younger music. and learn to scream. and hit the gym

in all reality id kill for your job security.. and your ampegs.

want to fly to sandpoint, idaho for me this weekend?

 

[mas502arc]

My stance:
Well, for the kind of music I play (rock, funk, jazz, alternative, pop/rock, indie, Christian), there's no real need for a power stance. I just like to keep it classy. Feet usually close to each other; I don't like standing too far apart (shoulder width) because it's too static for me and I like to keep my knees and legs limber and loose so I can groove

In terms of clothes, for Sundays (church) I just usually wear a clean dress shirt, with clean jeans (hang more on the skinnier side, but not skin tight), un-tucked. I like to go for neutral colours (whites, greys, blacks, blues) but I add a dash of colour too (like green shoes). Most times for normal situations, I go for a fitting v-neck or t-shirt (with no big cheesy designs on them), with jeans (skinny and normal), or shorts or trackpants, or with an American Apparel hoodie. Bandmates dress similarily to this.

and get paid.. yes. yes i would.

if people gave 1/2 the **** about my band that care about yours, id be in heaven. we cant even get our own all ages venue to book us. stuck in this crummy bar circuit.

 

[Breslin dp]

Here's a pic of my band.

 

[dezuiri]

We usually do a little dressing up. Slacks and button ups for weddings and parties and then jeans and button ups for the bar gigs...


At least when I'm wearing pants that is...

been there, done that. the problem is you picked a type of music that has a lot of people fighting to play it for free. can't compete with that. there's money to be made in music that nobody likes to play. did a gig with a bluegrass band a couple weeks ago playing the most tired old bluegrass songs ever...one of the best paying local gigs i've had.

 

[zachoff]

t-shirt (black, blue, white, or gray), jeans (blue, gray or black), black P, SVT, & 810. Oh, and I wear a wristband too but that's only because I got used to it when I played my Reverend and haven't gotten un-used to it. It's kinda my bankie. :lol:

a not so rocking pic from a couple weeks ago...
