Is a SMYT era FB t-shirt considered inappropriate for a Pixies gig? How about if it requires mending first...


How's that for a slice of fried gold?

it stinks of snobbery if you ask me. i don't know. i'm going neutral. i don't think it's cool to wear band t-shirts at gigs, unless you bought it there, i mean everyone knows you like the band, you've paid to see them...

I think that saying you can't wear them is more snobbish.


I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

I remember, but thought it crass to mention it in the Frank Black chat forum. It's like going to church and saying, I don't believe in god, and even if I did, he sucks.

Band T-shirts serve three main purposes:
They cover your body.
If you wear them at school, or someplace with a lot of people, it may be a good ice-breaker...'hey, you like...'
They promote the band.

...when you wear a FB t-shirt at a Pixies concert, it says you're trying to prove something, like the level of your dedication (which can be construed as lame), or the you may be more specifically trying to tell everyone around you that you 'deserve' to be their more than them....or plenty of other self-serving reasons.

...I am not sure why you want to, if it is the only t-shirt you have, and you do not want everyone to think its for the aforementioned reasons, I suggest you tack a paragraph statement on your shirt to show you only have this alternative.

i usually wear a neutral shirt as any prized t-shirt would invariably turn from a medium size to a XXXXXX-Large after some frenetic moshpit activity - making me look like ive been on a major crash diet

That would go down a treat, I think you may be right.

I was just asking is all: by similar tokens, do you think wearing a Pixies t-shirt is lame? How about one which was bought off the street outside Brixton Academy last year?

Jeez man, just wear what you want. That's the true definition of cool. You certainly don't want to take fashion tips off Bumble. He only shops at Topman.

he didn't have a pin striped white suit on, but a blue one if my hazy memory of that night rings true, and neither was he pulled out of the moshpit, but he was there and incredibly sweaty like the rest of us.

it was a cream suit with a blue pin stripe.
he followed his wife out of there after about the third song


wearing a fb t shirt to a pixies gig says to me you never saw a pixies gig before but ogt into them too late. bit like all the fake doolittle ones (& though the death to the pixies t shirts were on sale at the doolittle tour & other gigs since they have been readily available on line for ages)

this is why events unerve me
