Swedish Rock Band #10: Tonix

swedish-dance-bands-023

The members of Tonix saved so much on their group discount at ‘Wigs R Us’ they were able to afford the upcharge from the photographer for the lens flare making the sequin ‘starbursts’ extra special. Because nothing says ‘we are rockers’ than a sequin starburst on your album cover. Yup, hardcore rockers are all about [...]

Welcome to another installment of photos that seemed perfectly normal at the time…and now? Now they just baffle the mind. Now what could be going on here? I was about 11 years old and I was in a dance group that performed at such glorious events as conventions and if we were desperate lucky even [...]

Swedish Rock Band #9: The Saints

swedish-dance-bands-029

Yup, nothing says dance band like a an album cover photo taken at the community pool. Well that and those sweet satin jumpsuits and powder blue platform HEELS. And the guy in front with the fu-man-chew mustache doesn’t look much like a saint if you ask me. Hey is that Leif Garrett in the back? [...]

Swedish Rock Band #8 : The Milles

swedish-dance-bands-014

While I realize this looks more like a brochure for a touring gymnastic group (Like Cirque de Gaylay)I assure you this is indeed another Swedish Rock Band Album cover. We’ve got The Thinker in the middle and the guy in the center back is channeling Rick Springfield while ‘I’m-so-cool-I-gotta-wear-shades’ boy is leaning back on him [...]

“Can you get your mom to get out of the shot please? I don’t care if she did make our shirts- she can not be on the album cover.”   I found them here. And because the contents of their blog are SO SHOCKINGLY FUNNY. I absolutely must copy the best of it here. I [...]

Swedish Rock Band #6 : Zandra

      “Sven was bummed his costume ripped before the photo session. But was certain no one would even notice once he used his hand-across-the-waist pose to hold it closed.” Okay now let’s play ‘Find the Ascot’!…do you see it? Do you? Clearly he was the fashion forward member of the group. (See all [...]

MarcyThen: My time on the runway

Marcy1979

I was 9 years old and a kinda half a$$ member of the Campfire Girls. I joined that year and quit that year as I recall. I really got into the crafts- but I sorta refused to call a schoolmates mom (our leader) by her ‘Indian’ name. (which I remember as being ‘SHYBEE”, and this [...]

Hey everybody, its time to listen to the sounds of “Skip’z”! I think as the series progresses they are getting worse better and better. Let me introduce you to the band. From L to R. There is Agustas who is holding his air-pool cue. And Einar who blows his sax till either his ears pop [...]
