New Uniform


Alright, there have been 14 heavyweight motorsickle blog posts since our last detour 'off-topic' so I don't feel I'm pushing my luck with this gem.

I'm not one for uniforms, club colours or overtly trying to fit in with the crowd (though I guess I am magnetised towards those of a similar mindset, so I'm going to look a bit like my mates, I suppose), HOWEVER, as soon as I saw this 1969 recording I wanted to demand that Ben and I wear identical watermelon red shirts with Concorde collars and banana-coloured ball-huggers whenever we're together on official Sideburn business.

Additionally, if I had it my way, our attachés, (deputy editor Mick P; Entertainments officer Dave Skooter Farm; poet Travis and subscriptions mistress Deb) would also be made to wear Irish green tuxedos and white turtlenecks AT. ALL. TIMES.

Who's with me? G

    Maintaining a dignified silence on the uniform issue the B side of that record (Wrap It Up) is also seriously ace. No idea what they wore when they played that.

    OK 700% but ONLY ONLY if you can complete the same rhythm guitar drums and vocals AT ALL TIMES and ONLY if I can be the big guy on trombone with the keks that don't go the full length.....

    Gary, you know full well that's how I dress most days in any case. OK, the green tux comes off for luncheon and supper, but only in the interests of splash protection.

    Please. Co-ordinated ensembles and dance moves are how I think of Sideburn. Time you get it happening, and for the more casual/jaunty events I seriously recommend you look into the massive style action happening in regional Mexican/Banda acts- sort of the Tops go cowboy.
