Fuck Frankie

Who's Frankie I hear you ask. Well in this case it's the name of the horror punk band Fuck Frankie where Jösses Trashy Roxtar plays the drums. That's not a bad name for this punk drummer as he has that trashy look.I met him in Jordbro yesterday. When I noticed him I had a feeling that he was a musician. He has played at most local music scenes since around 1989. I mentioned that I have coffee with Tompa Eken most every week and Jösses told me that he considers Eken to be a legend. If you wan't to hear a song from the CD that Jösses gave me you can do so here. I shot the portrait using the Brenizer method, so this is eight photos taken with my 50mm lens, and then stiched together for that very narrow depth of field.

The Punk Rocker

On the same spot where I took a portrait of Sandra a couple of days ago, I ran into Matte. He was a bit hard to get talking to, but I guess that is the sort of attitude you need to have when you are a punk rocker. But when I mentioned that I was shooting for my blog, his friend Fredrik got a bit exited, as I had previously met and photographed Fredrik's dad. Matte is from Vendelsö and the band where he sings and plays the guitar is called Rasera (it means destroy or tear down). If you know punk that's not a bad band name, as it was the title of one of Imperiets albums. Rasera have a MySpace site, but there's not much good music there yet, Matte told me. But I'm sure they will have some time during the summer break to write new material.
