Yea guys in suits are so sexy. And you're right Poobs, they do have a presence to them, it gives them charm.

sadlyly I love the suits as well...
but it's just a perk to the music of a band

yea i think its cool when bands do that because it makes them look more proffesional because you know its more of a career for some people . . . . . .

I see suits everyday, i rather see bands in there most relaxed clothes, if its suits then more power to them

but there is so much more to it .....i love bands that dress up !!! i mean, wearing weird costumes or whatever ....

Yea like Pink Grease. I know what you mean.

Nah..Unless it's done as a spoof like Beck's band used to do..Otherwise it's nothing but a lame gimmick..

yeeeeah, like in the BRILL midnite vultures days ...exactly. or like ---you´ll hate me for mentioning them over and over--- Devo or adam ant or george clinton and his backing band or the beastie boys at "intergalactic". i am into the idea of weird costumes and overalls ---i suggested we should have overalls at the office but they thought it was starking mad. i´d like it, running around like a scientist in a white overall....my fave midnite vultures dress were those american football shoulder and knee pads and the transfusion packages ....brilliant.
unforunately no picture to be found on google.

I also see the band suits as a bit of a pun.
Here they are "no talent drugged out bum rock stars"
In suit and tie.
Kind of like Rene Magritte and his bowler cap/suit in tie. (Modern art buffs will understand)
Dress like the norm, because you are abnormal.
But I don’t know, that’s just a fun way to look at it.
It also just look cool


Devo so rocks my socks and so on

yeeees, mark and his goggles...brill. you know the "worried man" video ? or the robotic dancers in the background of "girl you want" ? high class.

oh, i found a picture at last ...

personally, i dislike band "uniforms". altho, 80's matchbox did a "spoof" band called the boogs which was them in green bumblebee costumes, which was quite funky.

its not a very good pict, but woo!!

oooh, i forgot to mention Outkast and esp. Andre 3000 !!! their costumes are the shitniz also ...

I don't consider what Outkast wears costumes..They design their own clothes..I think they look hot..:D

oh yes.

I saw a local band last wednesday, and they were all wearing scrubs. It was spiffy.

Oohh..I like scrubs..Jeremy stole his scrubs that he wore when Brody was born..The most comfy pants EVER!! :D

I saw Devo and Franz play at the same concert.
Goodtimes.

oh lucky you !! which show was that ?

it´s so weird, a Munich-based friend of a friend of mine is dating Matthew McCarty, the brother of Nick from Franz Ferdinand. and they´re gonna marry now so she´ll be related to him. gee, this world is a small place somehow. everyone´s related or befriended with everyone.
