Well, I decided to at least wear it to our first practice today and see what the vibe is. If they are all for it, I will be wearing it. Next week, the band is playing at a pub, so I have to wear it there. Also, my girlfriend will be in town, and she loves 2 things; me playing music and me wearing a kilt. Figure I should be a nice boyfriend and do both for her since she is having a rough week and needs some fun.

If you have a gig at a pub, then chances are your bandmates will only resent the fact that they don't have a kilt themselves to perform in. Might wanna mention to them they can get some quick casuals from SWK for less than $40.00

Your kilt should fit right in with the "grunge". You can't go wrong as a musician wearing a kilt!!

Hard part about pictures is that I am normally the guy who takes pictures amongst my friends. I will try and get someone to take some, but they get all self-concious because I have schooling for photography and they think I will hate the pictures they take. I would love some and will even let them use my camera.

Honestly, if you're willing to learn the music they shouldn't care if you're wearing a kilt. I have played numerous gigs kilted with my swing band and no one has said anything. If they don't want you around becaue you wear a kilt, you're probably better off finding a different group.

If you're a good bassist, you could wear a chicken suit or one of those inflatable sumo wrestler outfits and nobody would care.
Let your chops do the talking, kilted or not.

I agree with The Barry. I earned my way through school as a rock drummer (had to play with three bands in order to play enough gigs to earn any real money.) My drumming was the only thing that mattered.

I just got back from a three hour practice wearing my kilt. When I asked the head guy in the band if he would mind me wearing my kily, he told me he would be mad if I didn't wear it.
Score one for the guys in plaid!
Hopefully I will have pictures to post here of me playing in my kilt after this Friday. Then, off to the pub gig next Friday, where I will most certainly have pictures.
Thanks for the support guys.
Good to hear. Look forward to seeing some photos.
