This photo of AnCo, also known as the popular band Animal Collective has emerged on the internet. The photograph features Avey Tare (Dave Portner), some random bro, Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), and Deakin / Deacon (Josh Dibb). We can see that they used to be 'just like you' when you were going through your formative alternative stage, wearing what seem to be low cost and/or thrift store tshirts.
It is interesting to note that Avey Tare has stayed loyal to his bucket hat, even though he is more rich and famous, and probably could wear more expensive hats.
What do you think about their brand now & then? Have they transformed into relevant alternative celebrities, or do they look like the same ppl they used to be?
10 years ago, would u guess that 3 of these humans would become some of the most important trendsetters in the history of post-indie rock?
Do the 'weirdest' ppl in high school end up becoming the most successful?
