From The Vault - MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE

I actually don't have much to share about Mindless Self Indulgence but this has got to be one of the funniest promo pictures I've ever seen. This photo was used for the promotion of their debut album, Tight, back in 1999 and clearly gives you an indication of the bizarre nature of the band.
