Sure, there could be an interesting psychological exposition of any band that chooses to name themselves Failure. And, sure, taking on that moniker sets up a legion of jokes. But, as their all-star roster of associated acts (Veruca Salt, Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, Autolux) — and these photos — indicate, the regrouped Los Angeles band has achieved — at least — a modicum of success.

Behrnsie has a love for music that dare not speak its name. He attends many shows and can often be found counting out the beats for no discernible reason. He played alto saxophone in his middle school jazz band, where he was best known for infuriating his instructor when it was revealed that he played everything by ear, and could not in fact read music. He takes great pride that this is the same talent/affliction that got Tori Amos kicked out of the Peabody Academy. He does not live in his parents’ basement….except during the holidays.
