Carl's shirts on tour, October 2005-May 2006
myska_x and I think it's important to document what Carl's been wearing (why? Don't ask why! Do not question the ways of the picspammers!), given that he keeps changing his shirt instead of just wearing the same one for six weeks (aggh! there is no official 'shirt of the spring 2006 DPT tour!).
Cross-posted to dptband.
1)
Penelope: It all started at Qube, Rome, 10 October 2005.
2)
Penelope: Carl changed his shirt the very next night at DNA, Padova, 11 October. That's when I knew things really were going to be different this time.
3)
Penelope: *cough* gratuitous totally necessary arse shot *cough*
Then he reverted to form-- and the stripy shirt-- at Covo, Bologna, 12 October.
4)
And wore it again at the Barfly, Ancona, 13 October.
5)
And at the IO Street Club, Rimini, 15 October.
6)
Penelope: Stop me if you've heard seen this shirt before... Le Tryptique, Paris, 18 October.
7)
He took the stripy shirt to Mexico:
12 February; photo by Alex.
But he changed before that night's show:
8)
Noiselab, Mexico City, 12 February. narie informs us that he changed yet again for the afterparty. I love it when he pretties himself up for Timmy.
9)
A classic white t. Centro Histórico, Mexico City, 13 February.
10)
The Luminaire, London, 21 February. Photo by karen1074.
Rubbish grey shirt. Bonus appearance by rosary.
11)
Photo by onlyone. Note small rip in back.
12)
At the NME Awards, 23 February.
13)
Penelope: Cyprus Avenue, Cork, 24 February. Photo by saintschic. Note slightly larger rip in back.
Interestingly, most of saintschic's photos seem to be of Carl's arse. Or Didz's wide-open mouth.
She's a woman after my own heart.
14)
Oxford Zodiac, 26 February. A different rubbish grey shirt!
15)
Penelope: Birmingham Academy, 27 February. Photo by Joshua. Still wearing the rosary, although it's been broken.
Carl doesn't give up on his possessions just because they're imperfect. Oh fuck, I made myself emo.
16)
Penelope: Norwich Waterfront, 28 February. Back to the original grey shirt. AKA Carl gets Stan to do the laundry
the tour manager can't stand the reek any longer and breaks down and does the laundry.
17)
Leeds Cockpit, 3 March. Photo by karen1074.
18)
Penelope: Liverpool Academy 2, 4 March. Photo by illuminique.
Ahahahahaha, this is the best (worst) shirt ever. It's all downhill from here.
Or uphill. Not quite sure where I'm going with this metaphor ...
Mys: never mind the metaphor, let's just laugh at him some more *points and laughs*
19)
Penelope: ABC, Glasgow, 5 March. Photo by palethingirl. It's ... another grey shirt. 'I wear grey on the outside because grey is how I feel on the inside'.
20)
Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth, 7 March. Photo by Stuart Leech.
Penelope: This is a black shirt with the neck ripped out.
This is Carl's idea of 'making' his own t-shirt. *thinks about t-shirt competition* *BITES TONGUE*
21)
Kings College, London, 8 March. Photo by karen1074. Aka the 'migraine' gig.
22)
Leadmill, Sheffield, 10 March; photo by, yes, karen1074 *g*. And it's the same black t-shirt!
23)
Sugarmill, Stoke, 11 March. Photo not by Karen (!) but by absolution85.
24)
Manchester Academy, 12 March; photo by karen1074, without whom, I realise now, this post could never have been made. SAME black t-shirt.
25)
Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, 14 March. Guh!
Penelope: Here I started to think that perhaps Carl had fallen into his old ways
and that we would not be astounded (or shocked) by future clothing decisions
on this particular tour. But then they went to Austin...
26)
27)
Penelope: NME BBQ. Photo by ipomoea. It occurs to me that the Union Jack around his waist has now taken up the role formerly occupied by Carl's t-shirts.
28)
Penelope: Fader party. Photo by left_entranced. This nice plain black shirt was clearly too good to last. Maybe Chad got it as a lovetoken souvenir.
Mys: and - in true carl fashion - he hasn't washed it since
29)
Penelope: Birmingham, 23 March. Photo by moominface. I can't tell what the design on this shirt is. Maybe he borrowed it from Gary.
30)
Buffalo Bar, 24 March. Photo by politicalalison.
This seems to be the same shirt as the night before. Colour me surprised.
31)
London Calling, Amsterdam, 31 March. Return of the ripped neck black shirt.
32)
Botanique, Brussels, 2 April. Photo by arianb.
33)
Trabendo, Paris, 3 April. Photo by grrrr.
34)
Penelope: 4 April, Paris. Photo by Clumsy. Not a gig, but oh my fucking god, look at him.
Mys: mafia carl.
"aren't there enough gangster movies to put people off fucking with italians??"
Penelope: Sorry, what was that about Carl fucking Italians? While wearing this shirt?
35)
Penelope: Prime Club Cologne, 7 April. Photo by shiinamiaru. The black t-shirt-- so he did bring it back from Texas after all.
Mys: Am I the only one wondering what he gave Chad instead ?? who's got the clap?
36)
Postbanhof, Berlin, 8 April. Photo by ladygrinningsoul.
37)
Penelope: Special shout-out to Anthony's wolf shirt, also in Berlin and also memorialised on film by ladygrinningsoul.
Mys: awoooooooooo
38)
Penelope: Rockin' the two-shirt look in Milan, 10 April; photo by Shy.
39)
Penelope: Razzmatazz Sala 2, Barcelona, 12 April. This is the only photo of Carl in Barcelona I could find, but I think it's the Paris/Milan shirt again.
40)
Camden Crawl, 20 April. Photo by karen1074.
41)
Oxford Brookes, 21 April. Photo by brit_chick.
42)
Penelope: And another Anthony shout-out, just because I adore this shirt.
Mys: It looks like something you'd see on t_shirt_surgery .. you think Anthony's a member?
43)

44)
He wore this at SXSW. Photo by chloedancer.

Mys: you did have to take the worst picture from that night, didn't you? *lol*
