A fierce debate has erupted in a WhatsApp chat this evening as a group of boys begin making plans for the greatest concert of their life.
Having fought tooth and nail over the past few weeks to secure prime tickets to the Foo Fighters stadium spectacular that’s coming to Brisbane in December, local Betoota band shirt geeks Nate, Josh, Taylor, Pat and Chris have turned their attention to their outfits for the show.
Having heard their respective girlfriends, sisters and colleagues argue over which ‘Era’ of clothing they’ll wear to the Taylor Swift tour next year, the boys who identify as ‘Grohlies’, have decided they also want to dress up for the occasion and flaunt some Foo Fighter aesthetic.
“I dibs the ‘One by One’ era!’ said local guitar teacher Nate Ibanez, “I’ll do a white shirt, some black wrist bands and maybe grow out my mutton chops.”
“Nah that was my idea!” argued another mate Taylor, throwing some angry emojis into the chat.
“I always get pretty sweaty in the pit so I might just go shirtless with some heavy cargo shorts and aim for early Nirvana era,” added Pat, a long-suffering grunge fan who once worked as a roadie for Violent Soho when they toured Queensland.
“I’m doing a black western shirt with some nice red piping!” proclaimed Chris, “I’ll be ‘Sonic Highways’ era Dave.”
With all of Dave Grohl’s signature looks all pretty much sewn up, it’s understood local record store owner Josh Novoselic has drawn the short straw and will be very warm come December.
“Fine, I’ll do his latest look, the ‘Storyteller’ biography era Dave”, said Josh, “I’ll borrow Dad’s reading glasses and do a man bun.”
“It’ll be bloody hot wearing a woollen trench and some Doc Martins into Suncorp though hey, that’ll be be true fandom on show!”
More to come.
