If you start the show shirtless, you'll be less inhibited earlier on in the set...you know how it takes a couple of songs for nerves to go away? if you're ok with people seeing your flabby titties, you're not exactly gonna be self conscious about rocking out.

yes. this exactly. I remember explaining this to Erawk and Colonel a million years ago when I first met them. It helps me forget if I look cool and just rock the fuck out even if I don't.
Played that way for 15 years, minus the times I wore a suit.

A corollary to this is dressing in a way that causes you to be extremely uncomfortable or self-conscious, so your performance has the potential to cause people to be uncomfortable as well. I used to do this when I would do readings, and it worked to great effect.
I make this music.
I also make pictures that you can buy. Feel free to look at my records for sale.

You could always wear a vest with topless underneath. Vests are cool.

Jumpsuits with necklines down to the waist are good too.

I think the whole crowd should take our shirts off while zom-zom's band plays at the BBQ.

If you're Jim Dandy, and dressed like that and it's 1973 then okay.
I might even give a pass to Mark Farner in that time frame.

These days it's like wearing an afro wig or something.

sometimes i take my shirt off when playing drums, especially in the summer. because once a shirt is soaked with sweat it starts to impede movement, so you would have to be a dumbass to leave it on.

My brother is playing three twenty minute sets in between races at the demolition derby tonight. He will be playing topless.
