In case you ever wanted to know whose style I envy most, it's The Big Pink frontman/singer/guitarist Robbie Furze. Various 70s and 80s punk-band sleeveless t-shirts, leather jackets complete with metal studs and patches, skinny jeans, combat boots and chains around his neck. And a pretty awesome haircut too.
I remember seeing The Big Pink (one of my all-time favorite bands) play a couple years ago and wishing I had Robbie's confidence and style. As I watched him play, I just remember thinking how cool I thought he was. To this day whenever I see a picture of him or read an interview he's done, I still think he's the coolest person out there. And I really want to hang out with him.
Over the years as I've bought different pairs of boots or shirts or jackets, I always secretly hope that in some way I look like him. I don't think I'm quite hardcore enough to pull off the studded leather jacket and I'm not that knowledgable when it comes to old English punk bands, but maybe one day I'll be cool enough to be like Robbie Furze. I can hope so at least.
Also, I cannot wait until next week when The Big Pink's second album comes out! I already love the first two singles off it. Listen to "Stay Gold" posted below.
