Band promo photos

Music promo shots usually fall into a handful of unimaginative categories.

Indie rock band - Members lean against an inner city brick wall in tattered jeans and big coats and all look moodily in different directions.

Rave or hip hop group - members all try and get their sunglasses as close to a fish eye lens as possible.

Folk singer - lies in a grassy meadow gazing dreamily at the sky with a guitar and an accordian casually plonked nearby.

Etc,

However sometimes a band (or more likely their photographer) gets something a little more unusual. Supergrass occaisionaly throw up an interesting shot, the Rumble Strips seem to make a bit of an effort and Gnarls Barkley's recreations of their favourite films were genius - but here's my favourite from the past couple of years from Bromhead's Jacket.

What's you favourite band promo shot?

Not content with putting them in The Word as often as possible
