As the old saying goes, clothes make the man. When it comes to bands, most just do the standard button-down shirt and jeans thing on stage (except for the drummer who usually wears shorts for more freedom of movement). <\/p>\n

But then there are those who get into the game of same-look for all band members. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. However, unless someone can find something worse, it’s my sincere belief that Swedish dance band style from the 1970s<\/a> is in fact the worst bands ever looked.<\/p>\n

Now, to note, there are ways of having a uniform look in a way that looks correct. An example of uniform-look done right is The Pacifics<\/a>:<\/p>\n

These guys very purposely went for a 1960s clean-cut look, sweatervests and all. And it works. I’m not saying it will work for your band, but it works for them.<\/p>\n

Does a uniform look really make a band stick out?<\/h3>\n

Unquestionably, yes.<\/p>\n

Even if your band does something as simple as having every member wear a button-down or t-shirt of a specific color, you will get noticed above other bands because it basically offers the band a a single entity rather than “just 4 dudes on stage”, and people will identify with your act better as a result.<\/p>\n

But don’t dress like a 70s Swedish dance band; that’s one to avoid. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
