Dressing the Part
When the evening itinerary includes two shows featuring two musical polar-opposites playing at two distinct venues, the question of how to dress comes up. The early all-ages show, Tilly & The Wall, demanded at least some consideration of hipster kitsch, but the after-midnight sludge/doom show called for a different wardrobe entirely.
I don't particularly care all that much about what I'm wearing, or what people think about my clothes, but the dichotomous nature of Thursday evening's lineup would have certainly required a delicate balancing act for the more fashion forward among us-- TIlly & The Wall is one step short of a teeny-bopper band; The Roller's guitarist describes their sound as "dirt." Without a change of clothes, you're just not going to fit in at either place if you're really trying, eh?
I just wore some dark pants and a white t-shirt. The first show was terribly poppy, the second terribly loud. Nothing like extremes.
