Carbon Costume bassist
Anthony Fantano
Anthony Fantano is the Internet’s busiest music nerd. His time is filled playing bass and reviewing albums on his popular YouTube channel, The Needle Drop. Fantano is known for his uncanny resemblance to a melon, his vast collection of plaid flannel shirts — each color having a deep symbolic meaning, and for having the best teeth in the game. Fantano’s roommates with the eccentric Cal Chuchesta, who he hates.
Rex from Airheads
Rex (played by Steve Buscemi) is the bassist for the Lone Rangers in the movie Airheads. Rex along with his friends and bandmates Chazz and Pip holds a radio station hostage in a bid to have the band’s demo tape heard by producers. Rex has many bad tattoos on his arms and wears black jeans with combat boots and a distressed “Road Kill Café” t-shirt. If roadkill isn’t your thing, you could use any dark distressed t-shirt in your arsenal to evoke a similar effect. If you choose to wear a fake goatee as part of your costume, make sure to get a good skin-safe adhesive like spirit gum as well as remover to ensure it looks great, but also doesn’t hurt coming off.
D’arcy Wretzky
D’arcy Wretzky is the bass player of the alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins. Next to Courtney Love, she was a inspiration for alternative teenage girls of the 1990’s. If you want to pull off a grungy chic look, you’ve come to the right place.
There’s two outfits of hers that really stand out, worn during Lollapalooza in the ’90s. Fashion pieces that are certainly mainstream again: The first, a silver sleek silk camisole, a sheer black cardigan, some mom jeans, black sunglasses, and black boots. The second, the infamous orange & red striped long-sleeved shirt, black leggings, and another pair of black shades.
Scott Pilgrim
Scott Pilgrim has other things to concern himself with other than his wardrobe, like playing bass and fighting Ramona’s seven evil exes. Thus, he keeps what he’s wearing as simple as his mind. His only real accessory is a wristband to match his ringer T-shirts but maybe that means he does care about fashion, just a little.
Todd Ingram
Todd Ingram is the bass player for the Clash at Demonhead, and Ramona Flowers’ third ex-boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. He cheats on both Envy Adams and veganism, defeated by a cup of coffee that has half and half instead of soy milk.
