Denying our Swedish Heritage

From time to time we like to pay homage to Maya's Scandinavian roots here at mayamac studio... That is until now. I came across this site featuring promotional photos of Swedish dance bands from the 70's. What follows are a few of my personal favorites:

C.C. everyone in the band - "Friday we are getting our promo pic taken, make sure to wear your nicest pair of light blue pants." Unfortunately not everyone got the message.

Now this one really raised a lot of questions for me. Notice the band is called Kent Rogers. Who exactly is Kent Rogers here? They are all dressed the same. Also note there is a woman in the group and what is interesting about her is she is dressed exactly the same as the guys. They were probably considering getting her and outfit of her own but gave up that futile pursuit when it became apparent these outfits were just too damn spectacular.

The Tonny's made the decision to spend the majority of their wordrobe budget on fancy black platform boots. Unfortunately on the day of the photo shoot their jeans covered them up making it look like they were all wearing normal black shoes. Finally the decision was made. "Let's roll 'em up boys!"

Shilling Banco's manager sat them down and gave it to them straight saying, "If you guys want to be big- and I'm talkin' ABBA big here, you are going to have to start showing more cleavage."

From now on if anyone asks, Maya is 50% German 50% Indian - end of story.
