I was asked by Spin Magazine a week or so ago to go down to Indianapolis to take some portraits of the band Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s. The last time I went to Indianapolis was a year ago for a shoot for Rides Magazine of a custom car shop there called Killer Customz and it was a pretty strange experience.
My friend Jeremy and I went down to meet up with the band and as we were rolling up to their neighborhood we noticed that it was sort of a rough spot and there were a few burned down houses in the area. When we asked the band if they were blown-up meth labs or if there was an arsonist in the area or something Jason said, “No, people get in to feuds around here about a dog crapping on the lawn or something and then they just light your house on fire.”
Nice.
The band was super-super cool. They were game for any ideas and they took us out for fish and chips at the Lockerbie Pub afterwards. We drove back to Chicago in a snowstorm.
The pic is an outtake from the shoot. Spin decided to use an image that is way different so you’ll have to get the issue or check back later to see how that turned out…
Here are some other pics of the band’s house.
