Worst Band Photos Ever

posted by on January 24 at 18:30 PM

It’s so crucial to have a good band photo. As a photographer, I’m always trying to find good backgrounds in Seattle to use for photo shoots. Backgrounds that AREN’T brick walls. Only assholes get their band photo taken in front of a brick wall. I just stumbled across a website that preaches the same. THIS ARCHIVE might be old news, but if you haven’t seen it, the photos and captions are pretty funny. Well, “funny” in a dumb frat boy kind of way… but still… it’s definitely a good guide of what NOT to do for your next promo picture.

There's a site called Pacific Northwest Bands that attempts to gather information about bands operating in the area from the 1950s through today.

It also happens to contain some really hilarious press photos. I blogged about it over at the Seattle Powerpop Blog and posted a few choice ones. See the post here.

Thanks Gary! That archive *is* choice. And I wish I could score a good copy of that photo of Tri-Power and the Headers. BAD. ASS.

No problem, Kelly. It was a pretty cool site to discover, but for it's comedic value and genuinely cool historical aspects of the music community here.
