You will now click this link and discover the wonder of Swedish Dansbands. "Why do so many of them have matching silly costumes?" you are asking yourself right now, aren't you? Well, apparently it was possible to deduct the cost of stage costumes from your taxes in Sweden, so long as you only used the costumes for performing. In order to secure these tax breaks, the dansbands got themselves the most ostentatious costumes they could find. Nobody would ever want to wear these things on the street, so there would be no question of their purpose. I'm guessing these guys didn't qualify, though.
Clearly we need a similar tax incentive in our own country. There has been a dearth of matching outfits in popular music of late.

I'm personally grooving on "Schytts" at the moment.
Schytts. Nice.
This stuff only helps to enforce the fact that you are not well.
I never claimed to be well.
The Schytts outfits are indeed a thing to behold. They are like a test pattern. Or a Mondrian with gaudier colors.
