That has to be on purpose.

The open fly is the bridge too far.

Does Jesse Pinkman know Jane is still alive?

I think that's actually the best photo that particular band could possibly have taken.

I challenge ilx to find a promo photo featuring a more dejected, beaten-down-by-life looking indie band

This pic of the Lemon Twigs with Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie haunts me strangely

These guys are really crushing the band photo game

Just so no one else has to open the image in a new tab and read the URL and google the name: they're called Indubious and they are self-described "intergalactic reggae revolutionaries".

I used to wear a pith helmet.

I like that as a band photo. I like the coat of the one in the middle. And thoughtful guy on the left. And that three of them are looking at different bits of sky.

Eyeball Kicks, Sunday, 29 August 2021 01:31 (two years ago) link

also a good candidate for that band photos where one member isn't playing along thread, via dude on left not wearing a jacket.

peace, man, Sunday, 29 August 2021 01:46 (two years ago) link

It's just that thoughtful guy in the left is giving me Richard D. James vibes, and 2 other members have the same beard photoshopped in

LOL @ Dylan

"Bobby Gillespie" (ft. Heroin) (Tom D.), Sunday, 29 August 2021 09:25 (two years ago) link

Pretty sure that’s the Darkness

calstars, Sunday, 29 August 2021 12:41 (two years ago) link

Do they just play Wilburys songs I wonder?

'Roy Orbison' looks like a Teddy Boy funeral director.

OMG!

Lo, snoball.

Is that Sean Penn as Dylan?

Hitsville Ukase (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 29 August 2021 13:57 (two years ago) link

Sean Penn is exactly who I thought of when I first saw that photo!

could also be picture of people who figured out how 2 live

corrs unplugged, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 15:00 (two years ago) link

Not so much

calstars, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 15:29 (two years ago) link

dude on far right pointing looks the most out of place, which is just as inexplicable as the photo itself.

gotta hand it to ice t though. he really genuinely loves attention.

I don't even understand that picture at all.

I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 17:10 (two years ago) link

ALSO why is there always some weird guy with "eccentric" glasses that have transition lenses? What the fuck

Devo posing with Body Count at Riot Fest, iirc

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 17:12 (two years ago) link

Ah, thanks. I could place Devo obviously b/c of the hats but didn't recognize Body Count because I don't think I've ever seen pics of them? Other than Ice-T

I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 17:13 (two years ago) link

My transition lenses question still stands tho. What's with that.

I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 17:14 (two years ago) link

I dunno, doctor probably told him he should wear transition lenses and still wants to be "eccentric" or "kooky" is my guess.

I’m sorry but Devo always look like morons

calstars, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 18:10 (two years ago) link

kind of the point, no?

Devo and Body Count photo rocks

licorice in the front, pizza in the rear (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 19:16 (two years ago) link

It’s a great photo and Devo fucking rule but they do look so worrisomely old.

And of course the worms! (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 19:55 (two years ago) link

Like I knew Mark had COVID but they all look like they're 80.

And of course the worms! (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 19:55 (two years ago) link

As opposed to 70?

Starmer: "Let the children boogie, let all the children boogie." (Tom D.), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 20:30 (two years ago) link

Ha yes, but many 70 year olds don't look as old as they do.

And of course the worms! (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 21:12 (two years ago) link

Mothersbaugh is my dad's age, and I guess he looks comparable based on that photo. I don't think he or the other two older guys in the band look particularly elderly, but age obv affects folks differently.

juristic person (morrisp), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 21:27 (two years ago) link

doctor probably told him he should wear transition lenses and still wants to be "eccentric" or "kooky" is my guess.

To be fair, one of his many activities is designing eyewear.

everything, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 21:57 (two years ago) link

I absolutely love the Devo/Body Count photo and I don't understand the inclusion of it in this thread.
