Most of us would still agree that shorts are not gig wear....

I mean.... even over the years of playing reggae and island jams... on a barge floating in the water.... there are still those who would give me crap about shorts.


So I stopped wearing shorts.


I never wore shorts with my dance/rock band... even if it was 100 degrees out.... but ironically, the last three outdoor shows I've played, at least one of the band members were rockin' knee peekers. (term is patent-pending) :helper:


So my next show is another barge on water show... it's supposed to be close to 100... yet I'm still thinking about maybe doing the baggy khaki look with hey dudes.

Am I over thinking this? :messedup: :facepalm:
 
Looking up some of my favorite bands to see what they wear in the situation.... Not going to do the Big Mountain Jesus robes... :embarrassed:

But Inner Circle frontman is still wearing pants... EVEN WHEN STANDING IN THE WATER. Yup. Save the shorts for after the show. :baimun:

ALL OF THE LIQUOR. NONE OF THE CLOTHES.

100% naked WHERE IT COUNTS.

@baimun - your reggae/island jams IMO are acceptable for wearing shorts. Heck even Punk or Like Punk Metal can wear shorts. However if you are just a cover band not playing those styles of music, pants.

FWIW, I could've joined a surf band but didn't because I will not wear Aloha Shirts. Others say to me, why won't you wear a Hawaiian Shirt (notice nomenclature change). Cause I am Hawaiian and every shirt that I wear is a Hawaiian Shirt :runaway:

Okay, I was just here to post RHCP but I see I’m too late. :lol:

I would totally wear shorts if I was in a surf bum band. Even though my legs aren’t as sexy as they once were.

Make sure you wear white socks and sandals with them :cop:
 
From the Lake Cachuma boat dock two days ago(Sunday). The guitarist was great. Would jeans have made him more cool? Idk. It was 92°.

shorts are totally fine in the metal, punk, and hardcore scenes. some people worry about their appearances too much and some people should worry about it a little more hahaha.
 
I don’t think there is anything wrong with wearing shorts on a gig. I did it when I gigged. The only time I see it being weird is if you’re in shorts and a t-shirt, but the bass player is wearing a Blues Brothers suit and the guy on keys looks like he just left his day gig at Best Buy.
