Purpose: Determine a band’s leader by analyzing a publicity photo.
Disclaimer: A band’s inclusion on this blog reflects neither an endorsement nor a criticism of its music. This post is merely intended as a spotlight on the inner political workings of a collection of individuals who are in the midst of a cooperative, creative endeavor.
The Process:
You, dear reader, please answer the question, “Who’s in charge here?”
After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed based on a majority vote.
Band: The 1900s
Genre: Indie, with keyboard flavoring and garage drippings
Website:http://www.myspace.com/1900s
The Verdict (UPDATED!)
Barbara put her faith in the leadership of the hat-wearing dude, while the majority of the remaining votes went to the vivacious, big-teethed ginger plopped down in the center of the picture.
Manx indicates that he believes Ginger was also the photographer, but, if you don’t mind me adding a couple cents to the pot, I think it’s hat dude taking the pic.
Noting that Dr. Zaius voted for the photographer, if the photographer was indeed the hat dude, then that would make it a tie for leader of the 1900s. Seeing as we don’t know for certain who the photographer was, Ginger keeps the crown!
big teeth bangs
I agree with jess. Big teeth all the way. Definitely the ambassador for the group. They look more like a motley collective than an established hierarchy.
I don’t know if it’s “in/alt”, or just lame, to have a band photo taken by one of the members of the band. Sure it probably saved them some money, but I hope it’s just their Myspace photo and not part of their PR package.
And who’s holding the camera?…..Big Teeth!
P.S. The hat guy creeps me out. Maybe he’s just the Batman of their Justice League.
Hat guy. It’s always the hat guy who is trying to look inconspicuous.
The big teeth smiley lady. It’s her or the chick to the furthest right, but I go with Smiley…
The photographer. They are all posing for him.
