Highly appropriate bass!

Where did you find those striped trousers?  Haven't seen anything like that in years.

eBay, where you can buy anything :-)

The trousers were purchased brand new - there is a eBay seller in the UK that sells brand new retro style clothing, they have some awesome stuff .... http://stores.ebay.com/fuzzdandy

Impressive backline! Looks great Mark.
Except for the wigs. Personally I think you guys would like much cooler / more authentic without them.  :-[

The singer and Keef both use their own hair, our drummer actually has straight, waist length hair, but a Wyman with ginger curly hair might look a bit strange :-)

My favorite store!

Band looks super cool. I'm not a wig fan either, but I get it.

I hear you.  If the audience for these gigs were 20-40 age group we'd ditch the wigs, but the club venues that host these tribute band shows in Australia are 40-80 age demographic, so it's as much a visual performance as playing the music authentically.  We're competing against Abba, Motown, Eagles, Beatles and Neil Diamond tribute shows in this market niche, so the audiences expect to see costuming and wardrobe.
