Paul Revere and the Raiders. My mother told me once that back in the 60s, she and her friends made a petition at their Catholic school to make the[Paul Revere](http://www.rainbowplanet.com/harpo.html) look the school uniform. 😃 ---

There’s a particular photo of the [Kinkis](http://www.ultrasonica.esquinalatina.com/Articulos1999/KINKS.htm) in their red hunting jacket phase that I was trying to locate, but I couldn’t find a decent version so this one will have to do. And image-googling the word “Kinks” can throw up some, uh, interesting pictures. ---

Before they found fame with ‘You Really Got Me,’ [The Kinks](http://www.davedavies.com/picbook/images/pb_39.jpg) went for the whole leather and whips look. (This picture is from early 1964.) ---

That makes me think of [The Residents](http://www.rikksrevues.com/Residents_Photo2.jpg), who also wear masks and dress alike. ---

The Super Furry Animals used to come on in identical Sasquatch outfits at the end of their shows. [http://www.nme.com/artists/photos/photo/21014.htm](http://www.nme.com/artists/photos/photo/21014.htm) Their new thing seems to be glow in the dark spacesuits: [http://www.nme.com/news/112957.htm](http://www.nme.com/news/112957.htm) ---

Boys II Men used to do that. I think they stopped around the time of their final album. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/musical-groups-that-dress-alike/311776.md?page=1)
