I kind of liked the robes better — this looks like they’re auditioning to be extras in some cheapo ’80s science fiction movie, or maybe one of the new episodes of The Outer Limits.

cheapo ’80s scifi movies are one of my favourite things. maybe that’s why i like it. and also because i know how tired they were of wearing those damn robes all the freakin’ time.

I like cheapo ’80s scifi too, and so I suppose you have a point. But the robes, however much they might have disliked them, at least were distinctive and (relatively) original. Especially coming right after Amber posted that old Numan video, these new uniforms don’t look very original at all.

Robes aren’t terribly original either; church choirs have been using them for years. As for the new uniforms–errr, outfits–I’m still on the fence as to whether I think they’re Hot Topic or just hot.

well, no one can out-do gary numan’s telekon get up, but these uniforms are pretty sweet. the robes made them look like hippies, and i friggin’ hate hippies. this, i can deal with.

Man, now they’re twice as likely to get detained in major American airports! Poor Birdstuff.

(Yes, my Spree jokes pretty much begin and end with “Birdstuff got detained as a suspected terrorist.” I’m awesome.)

dude, i laughed so hard when that happened. what was it…a microphone that was a suspected bomb or something? poor brian.

When did they get signed to World Serpent? I wish everybody dressed like this.

[...] have been crying into  your pillow because you will miss seeing the Polyphonic Spree perform in their new military uniforms, don’t despair.  They will be performing a special show at midnight at the Hard Rock Hotel [...]
