This is Bengtson. It's not his real name, he was born Janne Håkansson. Bengtson was one of the first punk rockers in Stockholm. A band wrote a song about him and that's how he got the nick name. Today he works at Kafé 44 booking bands with local legend Tompa Eken, whom you have seen here a few times. Together they have a band called Dödsknarkarna. The Death Junkies. The band who plays acoustically will perform at this years Hultsfred festival. They haven't performed since 2004. When they do they often talk between them selves during the gig. As I'm typing this they are in a car heading towards Småland as the gig takes places tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEmiZmcjsYI

Well, at least they don't fight during performances. Lots of bands do...Oaisis??? Kinks??? and more...
A friend of mine is his almost perfect lookalike...
A good portrait shot of him, Stefan!
It must be tough becoming an aging rocker. Only a lucky few can still earn a decent living at that.
Super portrait of Bengtson Steffe, a punk rocker you say.. so I wonder how old that makes him.. 60's? Good on him for rockin' on :)
