Guitar section of the 'The Mrs. Bill Larsens' band at Darrell's Tavern. "Where your dad used to drink."

Three guitar players on stage side by side with the necks of their instruments in approximate alignment, standing in front of cheesy black velvet art.

'Butt Dial'-- the band no longer exists, at least in this configuration-- but the portrait session lives on.

Group of six colorfully dressed band members hold a seventh member up in the air across their bodies -- laughing, smiling, grimacing-- against a black backdrop.

Weiter mit einem ewigen Liebling in Silber! Egal ob sie hier mit Aussie-Sänger Alf Klimek Reggae, Disco, Kraut- oder Breitbeinrock veräppeln, es funktioniert prächtig und trotzdem aus einem Guss 🤘😍🔥

Merci an @bluetenkelch.bsky.social für den Tip!

Das Bild zeigt ein Schallplattenspieler-Setup mit einer silbernen Vinyl-Schallplatte, die gerade abgespielt wird. Im Hintergrund ist das Albumcover der Band "Spliff" zu sehen. Das Cover ist schwarz mit einem kontrastreichen schwarzweißen Bandportrait im unteren Drittel. Im oberen Bereich des Covers steht in großen weißen Buchstaben "The Spliff Radio Show".

A high-contrast black-and-white group portrait of four young men in narrow dark suits and slim ties standing outdoors on wet ground beneath a blank overcast sky, photographed from a low angle so their bodies loom slightly forward into the frame, with the central figure closest to camera, two others flanking him at uneven distance, and a fourth set farther back wearing dark sunglasses; the image leans into analogue surface behavior with heavy grain, dust flecks, edge wear, halation, soft focus falloff, and slight frame distortion, while the tailored wool jackets, crisp shirt fronts, polished shoes, and damp pavement register as subdued tonal blocks rather than sharp detail, the background reduced almost entirely to pale sky with only faint grounding at the horizon and a partial vehicle edge slipping into the left margin, lit by diffuse natural daylight that flattens shadows and lets facial planes, lapels, and trouser lines emerge through haze, asymmetrical but balanced composition with elongated vertical silhouettes and a confrontational editorial stance, eye-level viewpoint shifted low, 50mm lens character with shallow imperfect focus centered near the front figures, graded in silver-grey, charcoal, and off-white with faded blacks, lifted highlights, and worn darkroom texture for a physically plausible vintage music-press finish.

Heute den letzten Teil von "This Band is Tocotronic" gehört. Ein wirklich beeindruckendes Bandportrait, bei dem man einer der vielschichtigsten und faszinierendsten deutschen Bands der letzten Jahzehnte ungewöhnlich nahe kommt. Großartige Arbeit von Stefanie Groth.

This Band is Tocotronic

Die 30-jährige Geschichte der Band Tocotronic wird in diesem Podcast als mitreißende Story erzählt: Aus drei Freunden werden vier, aus ihrer Band ein Raum für Inspiration, Zweifel, Scheitern, Angs...

Spent an afternoon in the woods with local Black Metal band #Mordrake last week. Rather enjoyable to capture Heavy Metal Musicians in their natural environment...
