Band promo shots

I'm not a massive fan of "posed" promo shots - it's hard not to look like a bunch of complete gits, no matter how hard you try. Fortunately for us, it's damn-near impossible to get my band members all in the one place unless we're actually playing, & last week we were lucky enough to get a proper photographer to take some pics of us live. I've been mucking about with some of the results & I'm quite pleased with this:

Bit of a shame because it was our drummer's last gig for the forseeable future - he's now on indefinite maternity leave and I strongly suspect he won't be coming back. :)

So I have prepared an alternative version:

:rolleyes:

Anyone know any jaded, cynical old prog rock drummers in the Edinburgh area?

Jon.

the singer never liked this shot cos the guy on the roof looked more interesting![/quote]

I'm pretty sure the bass cab I use in our practice room has a psycho surgeons stencil on it. Small world.

Small world indeed! But its not the same cab lurking in that picture tho (a peavey 1820) - cos thats still taking up far too much space in my house. :)

I use this image as a background for our posters and flyers.




I've given up trying to get a decent picture of the actual band as someone always looks like a goon. This sums up our 'jazzy soul blues' vibe well enough.

Three cheers for the RockHopper!

Naaah!

They don't make a bass that would be big enough ...

Don't they have socks where you live, Jack?

Look guys, let's not get hung up on this.

It's just a question of providing the right incentive.

Mind you, you should have seen us before we had the ops.
