Now first this is a sweet picture. Nuff said. But to take it up a notch I know a fellow here in town who is in a band called Rough Francis. His name is Bobby. We don't know each other well (though I'd like to hang with him sometime) but we know the same people. Anyway the band pictured above is Bobby impersonating his dad and his uncles and thier band Death. They were pioneers, think Iggy and the Stooges, of punk rock. When you see this picture the guy on the left must be Bobby's dad because they could be twins. Read more here and here.
"... I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. When I was told the history of the band and what year they recorded this music, it just didn’t make sense. Ahead of punk, and ahead of their time.” -Jack White
