Badflower’s Josh Katz - STAGE THREADS Ep. 19

Lesbians eat what? I'm not much into clothes or fashion, but this is something special to me I've been sharing this suitcase with my girlfriend on the tour and she packs like a psychopath What's up? I'm Josh from Badflower and Welcome to the back of our bus. The tour we're on right now is supporting our record no place like home. We're here in Chicago Chicago, yeah, this is like the prized possession and this is brand new So a couple tours ago. We had a fan in Europe who showed up to a meet-and-greet wearing Overalls like this that were all decked out with our first record stuff and our first EP stuff There were all these patches and I just thought she looked so cool and I told her how cool I thought she looked she ended up showing up to the next show and she washed the overalls and she gave them to me and For the I don't know. I want to say for the next like year I didn't wear anything else on stage, but these overalls it was like my uniform So that eventually I wore them out. They got a little too messed up recently I saw her again in the UK and and she offered to make another set of overalls to support the new record And so now we're looking at the piece this is the real thing and Each one of these patches represents some like this is the snuff single cover Obviously just bad flower in stitches. What else we got here? Another bad flower logo there. This is what you deserve Pause for our song pause. There's more stuff under here. It's you I just have more This is how the world continues the I from temper Just butterfly for the song butterfly just like really creative stuff. She just does amazing work. Her name is Natalie I'll leave in the back too. We got a hammer for swinging hammer Everybody go ah bananas Yeah, it's like my favorite thing ever. So I'm not much into clothes or fashion But this is something special to me and the first set of overalls that she made a really special and those are really special Okay, since we're here, look at this. I have the old overalls that she gave me and you can see they're like super faded and super beat up But like I gotta I gotta put them up. Hang on. This is so cool So this was okay. I'm sick. Johnny wants to fight Let the band play 30 all that stuff That's the old model And then we got the new model It's pretty cool. I think Always the overalls always a beanie. It used to be the overalls with the pink beanie now We're doing orange beanies. So overalls orange beanie and that's it and the boots the vegan These are vegan Doc Martens It's all I wear that's it So this is a company called cult of individuality that have always been very supportive of our band So they give us a lot of like just daily stuff most of the stuff that I wear either on stage if it's not that It's their stuff like this their jeans is their shirt This I got because we had this UK tour coming up and I was like, oh, I want to look all ******* European and cool and do the trench coat thing. So this is just an Abercrombie and Fitch little deal And I just like it. It's easy to put on it's like it's warm. Yeah, so if I'm not wearing the Overalls which I normally am it's gonna be some kind of a wacky tank top usually Oftentimes that fans give me this one says lesbians eat what? That's a pretty good one. Those are just sweatpants. This is a good one, too This is a nice Love this Just a solid tee that really represents who I am, you know as a person I've never worn that so got its tag on it But that's more cult of individuality stuff that I really like that. He sent over that. Uh, I haven't worn yet But I will actually I really like that one What else do we got? This is like This one just won't do you know, you have certain clothes. It just won't die. Like I don't know where this came from And it has this like tail on it It's really long in the back and it's stupid and I always end up tucking the back in But I like how the front of it fits on me. And so I just always wear this. I love this thing All right, what else we got some classics more cults of individuality stuff or wait, is that what this is Oh, no, this is point north. This is the band that we're on tour with right now. This is their merch So I like to take band merch too and just cut off the sleeves make it like a muscle teeth even though I don't have Muscles, it's just a good look, you know to do the muscle teeth. So that's point north Actually, I might wear that tonight. That's a good one tonight What else we got? Oh, that's just these are fan gifts. Sorry. That was me and my dog That's not an outfit, but it's just a very sweet picture that a fan gave to me This one This is a great wintry thing that I always get complimented on also cult of individuality But this is my like Christmas sweater. I Don't know why but this works for like winter shows. I always I wear this on stage a lot What else we got? And then some basic pants, you know some old Navy slim fits Some swim trunks. I'm not gonna swim on this tour, but they're here Well, okay Normally, I'm really Organized with the way that I pack like all of my shirts go right here all the pants go right here all the whatever goes Right here, and then I strap it all up But I've been sharing the suitcase with my girlfriend on the tour and she packs like a psychopath And so I've tried to keep it separate where her stuff goes on this side. Oh Now her stuff looks all nice Now I'm eating my own words because her stuff looks really good Well, actually these are the Adidas that she was looking for Anyway, as you can see, this is the girl side and then this is the guy side, you know Because you live on a bus you want to save space. You don't need two extra bags Anyway, it's been a little bit difficult us having to share the bag I'm a little less organized than I'd like to be but also you usually do the big bag and then you have your go-back So you'd have the big bag and then either a backpack or something smaller that you carry like, okay I want three options for shirts tonight, and then you throw those shirts in there. That's that I've got boots and I've got oh, there's more clothes here too. Oh, there's stuff. I'm missing man. See Look at this. This says something in Russian. I don't know what it means, but it's cute This is my girlfriend's merch I should wear this tonight too. This is her and then All of Vox the other band that we're out with tonight is there see I knew I was missing a bunch of stuff I Hate everything about you from when we toured with three days grace. They gave us one of their shirts So I was wearing that for a little bit some bad flower shirts another bad flower shirt turned into hoodies and then getting to the real stuff No, I got Where is it? So this would be like the go-back I have like socks and whatever bullshit in there these When I go out skateboarding just a pair of Converse That's it and then some sandals For the most part. Yeah, the the Doc Martens like never leave my feet. I'll wear this one quite a bit Sometimes I said there actually I did a full tour where I told fans if you come to meet and greet the VIP Bring me anything you want me to wear on stage that night and I'll wear it and that was because I didn't feel like packing A bag so I did a full tour where I only wore what fans gave me and I ended up with a lot of fun things like The lesbian shirt and call me daddy and all these yeah day-to-day to stage No, I wear the same stuff pretty much maybe like less of the tank tops The tank top feels like I'm about to go on stage usually just to make a boutique pants are the same Honestly, I wear the same pants if they don't get too dirty. I'll wear the same pants the whole tour If they start to stink then I'll change them but like it doesn't matter I never accessorize unless fans give us things Sometimes they give us bracelets and things like that and we'll put that on but no no watches No, none of that just the beanie beanie or a hat if I don't feel like doing my hair and That's it. Well, thank you so much for for listening to what I have to say about fashion because I'm a fashionista I care so much so much about what I wear and thank you for watching and please keep listening to our music and we love You and goodbye
