Dressing on Stage

Yea, I agree. I think as musicians, we have to dress smart & be comfortable in what we are wearing too cos the last thing u want is to be fidgeting on stage becos of your attire.
 
actually anything, but be reasonable. theres 1 time at sengkang cc, this band wore full basketball attire. i tink while waiting for their turn to perform, they played basketball i presumed.

dress according to theme is ok, but make sure you all look good in what you wear.
so softies, get off yer bums and start working out. rockstars are supposed to be like pornstars man!!!

nah, jokes aside, wear what suits you to make you look good. mayb the band could each wear what makes them look good, but also have a common item that the whole band wears.

for me, sleeveless shirt, berms or jeans with boots work fine in almost any situation.

seriously ...fellas who try to look like recycled horror porn stars ....go easy on Johnson baby powder ...freakin hilarious this fellas i tell you !!
 
i think dressing up is an integral part of being a performer. essentially, performing is pretty much a visual thing as much as an aural experience for the audience. Gerard Way of MCR once said in an interview that he thinks that aspect of a performance is as important as the music. they really went for the jugular and the result, a very distinct image, easily recognisable and associated with their music. it gives their music a "face" so to speak. and i think it's pretty effective cause it certainly does leave a lasting impression on you.

if you look like everyone else, it'll be harder for you to be recognised i guess. after all, the dominant sense of the homo sapien is sight. so the first thing people will commit to memory about your band even before the first chord is played is what you look like. subconsciously it leaves an impression.

a recent and local example would be Live The Dream's, By Definition (if any of you watch that show). they're a prime example of how dressing up well, and being coordinated has it's benefits. i feel that they easily stood out, and combined with their energetic performances, they gained a fanbase. i'm not a supporter nor did i consistently follow Live The Dream, but that is testimony to the fact that dressing well, helps you to gain a certain image and gives a level of recognition. oh and i think that band won the damn competition!

so pull on the threads softies!
