Drummer from the Sea and the Cake on left.

Yes, but have you seen him drum? He's a fucking beast behind the kit, with a face-twisting determination that shows no regard for how he looks doing it. Still, that pic is funny.

Trying and failing............ spectacularly

― Dadaismus, Tuesday, 8 April 2003 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, i love the band. but he's trying too hard there.

McEntire on drums looks like he's about to have an orgasm, in the twitchy, half-embarrassing sense.

Also I'm not sure how much that's an example of "trying too hard to be cool" -- the only thing he's really doing is wearing a dumb pair of glasses. I spent years wearing a terrible pair of glasses, and I didn't think there was anything cool about it at all.

I want more Eric Claridge.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

we all know that Eric Claridge is the coolest anyways.

Archer looks like he's been holding that smile for like a whole minute.

I guess this turned into a "How cool is the sea and cake" thread.

Sub-thread: Pictures of bands where the Make-up artist tries too hard to make the band look like Adam & the Ants circa Prince Charming or Rennaissance-era Village People. Jaz, of couse, is having the hardest time with it.

looks like the guy from Sea & Cake is trying to revive the Flock of Seagulls look, all he needs is a wavy bleached blonde hair-do.

Yeah I know they all look totally cool but one of them is trying far, far too hard

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, The guy on the far right is trying to be Greta Garbo.

Look at Phil with that top hat. You're not cool, Phil! Stop trying so hard!

― Famous Athlete, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

but that picture's hilarious!

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatever. Thinks he's so cool in that top hat. But he's not!

Seb, on the other hand, he knows how to be cool. Look at his shirt, look how he's got it open like that. That's cool. Yeah, Seb's got it. Go Seb. Phil, be more like Seb, dude.

― Famous Athlete, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, Seb went to Bard, don'tchaknow?

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Kraftwerk are/were one of those rare breed of groups who never managed to be uncool throughout their duration. They are/were always cool. They didn't even have to try.

Um, this according to the Rock & Pop Book of Dee. ;)

In case just one guy trying too hard isn't enough for you...

Or basically any a-ha picture taken around the "Crying In The Rain" single and "East Of The Sun, West Of The Moon" album in late 1990.

I hate it when bands do this.

They'd be laughed at in the street and they know it.
