I don't understand how you don't appear in a picture of yourself. Sounds like a neat trick. Are you implying Kraftwerk used doubles?

Wait, do you mean costumes? Because the Residents and Daft Punk just wear costumes with masks. You know, kinda like Gwar.

I don't get the Air thing. Those two guys are always photographed in magazines.

If you're going with the 'masked bands' thing, there's always Clinic.

The Residents are different because nobody is supposed to know who they are.

Blues Traveler used more photgenic (i.e. "Thinner") doubles in the video for "Runaround". And who could forget the video for Jon Spencer's "Talk About The Blues" where Winona Ryder played Jon.

...and Lightning Bolt, and Neon Hunk, and Mammal, and Los Straightjackets, and yadda yadda yadda.

Didn't the Mekons send press photos out of jackets on coat hangers with cardboard faces attached?

I like those pictures where it's just a silhouette standing by a lamppost on a rain-slicked street.

I was in love w/ the Red House Painters in high school and then I saw a picture years later... not so hot on them after that.

Does Cher count? I mean, she's not really her anymore, right?

O, of Olivelawn and fluf, is extremely camera shy (oddly enough, he's a photographer) always gets his friends to pose as himself in publicity shots.

Cocteau Twins?

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Thursday, 17 April 2003 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The Cocteaus appear in their own pics.....who else would sport hair like that?

new order has taken to using promotional pictures of clouds and the like because they themselves look like death warmed over.
