MacDaddy Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 okay, my turn! I'm currently bandless so these are from a previous band. In pic 1 I'm 2nd left, pic 2 top left, and pic 3 bottom right. Quote
jim_at Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Theres only one rule for band promo shots... BAN boot cut / flared jeans. *shudders* Quote

Bassassin Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 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: [attachment=48106:promosmall.jpg] 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: [attachment=48107:promosmall2.jpg] Anyone know any jaded, cynical old prog rock drummers in the Edinburgh area? Jon. Quote

BluRay Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Here's one from almost exactly 20 years ago.... [attachment=48115:Psycho_Surgeons.jpg] the singer never liked this shot cos the guy on the roof looked more interesting! Quote

Small world. Quote

TheRev Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 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. Quote
gafbass02 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Not a promo shot per se, but just one snapped off really quickly as we were leaving, by the organisers at the end of our recent session demoing for pro tools at the NEC gadget show live and I really like the way the shot came out.. Quote

Clarky Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I have a feeling Jack that one of those three naked leaping guys in 1980 really was you (although the hair makes it difficult to tell which ) Quote
