Band: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Genre: Indie Metal
Website:http://www.trailofdead.com/



The Verdict (UPDATED!)

Voting has ended! Here's the tally:

Steve Coogan Guy(?) - 1 vote
(J.D.)

Suit Jacket Guy - 2 votes
(Barbara, Gizmorox)

Evil Oliver Platt - 4 votes
(Beckeye, DGuzman, Jess, Ten S)

Bill Berry (the eyebrows have it) - 1 vote
(Manx)

I wasn't sure who J.D. was referring to, as to me all the band members have a passing resemblance to Mr. Coogan.

In this case it doesn't really matter who looks the most like Steve Coogan, as the preponderance of votes indicates that Evil Oliver Platt is in charge.

The Verdict (UPDATED!)

Voting has ended! Here's the tally:

Hands-In-Pockets - 5 votes
(Beckeye, Tim, Manx, Cat, Freida Bee)

Plant Guy(/Girl?) - 2 votes
(J.D., Jess)

Centered Short pants - 1 vote
(Barbara)

The Chic - 1 vote (unsure of which one, I think there are least three females in the band)
(DGuzman)

Wow, there was so much gender confusion in this entry. Jess said the person holding the plant was a lady (though Jess is often a snarky sort of *fella, so I don't know if we can take him seriously).

DGuzman simply said "the chic", but with my admittedly poor gender recognition skills, I see at least three of the fairer sex in this band.

Thankfully, there was no confusion about the leader. Hands-In-Pockets is in charge!

SPECIAL NOTE:
We recently ran into a previously unseen voting scenario, where the readers and voters of this blog were unable to determine the leader of the duo Peach Candy, based on the supplied photograph.

Even the sitting Vice President of these United States was unable to make a definitive ruling.

I checked my mailbox this morning to find a note from a certain "DonJuan Clark". Mr. Clark forwarded me another image of Peach Candy. My impression is that Mr. Clark wants this matter resolved, and wants to know for once and for all, "Who's In Charge Here?".

With this recount, I hope we may determine the answer.

The Verdict (UPDATED!)

Voting has ended! Here's the tally:

The lovely lady sitting: 3 votes
(Dguzman, Tim, Barbara)

The lovely lady standing: 2 votes
(Cat, Beckeye)

No one/Everyone is in charge: 1 vote
(Manx)

This race was again insanely close. Despite the fact that the lovely seated lady received the most votes, I'd say that the power dynamic in Peach Candy is most likely pretty damned even.

And I like Manx's point about them being interdependent - a beautiful sentiment in an increasingly cynical world.

I must apologize for a previous comment I made about the seated lady. I had said she didn't "got back" in the initial Peach Candy post. However, from viewing this picture, then viewing it again, and then subsequently viewing it sporadically some more over the last week, I was clearly mistaken. These two ladies are both bootylicious, and it was an honor to have them on this l'il piece of web.

With all that said, congratulations to the seated lady. You're in charge!
