Kottonmouth Kings | Stuff Magazine | 06.23.00
Who are the Kottonmouth Kings? No idea. Another band I did not know before I shot them. Just another fun shoot for my friends at STUFF magazine. The photo editor Hyla Dennis always challenged me with subjects and ideas. I did every type of subject for STUFF magazine. From musicians, to sexy girls, celebrities, fashion, sports stars and even products. Never dull.
We did the shoot at the Lava Lounge on La Brea in Hollywood. It was kind of seedy, moody and cheesy bar just above Sunset Blvd. The band have a lot of members so I did solos and band shots. Spent most of the day inside and working with what the location offered. The band was cool, but with so many members there was no way I was gonna remember who was who.
What I loved about shooting bands like this was they had a “look” that they created and it was my job to capture it. I loved their look and the costumes. It made me look good. I have no idea what happened to the band after the shoot. Never heard about them since.
