I'm not familiar with this guy or his music, but this photo was in my local paper a few days ago and I really got a kick out of it. I borrowed it from the front page of his  web site. (http://www.leerocker.com/)

I..am speechless.
 
I listened to a sample song, and his band isn't bad..not really my kind of music, but they're good.

Bob, quit pulling our leg:  It's a cool enough looking axe, but at least you could run a pic of yourself with your ALEMBIC!

Careful Joey - there are at least photos of my bass here, unlike some people we know... And even one of me (though cleverly disguised as a sailor or something), when my bass was nothing more than a defective neck.
 
I can't quite tell - is he slapping that thing, or just holding it up by the strings?

The fiddle cut on the bottom is resting on his thigh sorta . . . or at least I damn sure hope so.
 
I know, I know, I'm scouting digital cameras as we speak, so you just never know.  Though I'm gonna have the devil of a time finding a purple suit.

Bob wrote I'm not familiar with this guy or his music.
 
That's Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, the group that made Brian Setzer famous.  I would imagine you remember hearing:
 
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town, make 'm scream and shout
 
Nice looking bass!
