Style can make or break a band. These lads, dressing to their own tastes without a care for the general stock placed on looking macho, are definitely a set apart from their contemporaries. When the question of defining style came up, Miggy said, "Style is something you express in the way you dress, walk and perform." Mong added, "It’s instinct."
"Music and fashion go hand in hand. It’s that attitude you can express through your fashion sense," said Miggy. There are certain things that stand out about their style, certain things that have become synonymous with the group, like Miggy’s red gloves and tattoos, Calde’s oh-so-shoreditch hairdo and Cindy Crawford-esque beauty mark, and Mong’s laid-back vintage casual wear (a huge reinvention from the earlier hip-hop dreadlock look).
The night of the shoot we had a varied collection of fedoras, suits, and false eye- lashes. Yes, false eyelashes. Not your typical choices but, then again, our models were hardly typical. The dim-lit basement location and Clockwork Orange theme seemed to highlight the mysterious quality of the four members. We can’t help but turn our heads when Miggy, Sonny, Mong, and Calde walk in. Bands are fashion pioneers, inspiring trends, launching the hippest new forms of street fashion and adding their own flavor to the ever-evolving idea of cool. Their risks and attitudes relay a message of individualism, and local bands like Chicosci are making that message heard on the home front. Even if Chicosci’s brand of heavy rock doesn’t suit your taste, the whole band experience is a loud, crazy and stylish one.
