I have always enjoyed watching bands that dress up. There are some people that will say that Punk is an attitude and it doesnt matter what you look like. I think thats just laziness. We are in the entertainment business! 

What's your style, Mod suits or t-shirts and jeans, Cavemen or Spacemen.

 Bands who look great get my vote everytime. Who are the best dressed and the worst dressed bands? Do you even give a shit?

We think outfits add to the excitement of live rock-n-roll.  We recently saw a band we like and were very disappointed that they put absolutely no effort into their stage presence.  They looked like they just got off the sofa after sitting in front of the TV all night. Musically, they were great but we'll think twice before shelling out cash to see them again.

yeah we dress up......if you're gonna be a band, then look like a band

We're a conglomerate, but for our shows we kind of wear something on a theme. I kinda dress like Mike Ness from the early 90s, but the rest just sort of wear street clothes.

I think it's totally important to have some sort of cohesiveness in a visual band "style". Part of being in a band is presentation of your group, on a stage, to the throngs and hoards. Even if that throng and hord is the bartender, your sister and her three friends. It's always a good idea to look like you belong together. It adds to the excitement of a live show.

We wore our suits when we recorded. We wore matching custom tee shirts when we drove across the country and everybody stared at us when we stopped at "picture spots".

I love bands with themes and outfits. It shows they put a bit more thought and effort out there for the fans.

RJFait replied to Reverend Stevee Ray's discussion the Beatles ... why NOT ?
"I don't hate the Beatles, I just think the bulk of their work was gutless pop. At some point in the middle they started getting better drugs or something and put out a few good records. Then, they went right back to gutless pop."
