TEENAGE WASTELAND

France's most sarcastic band starts a very sincere photo blog.

What's it like to be in a decently famous rock band?

Quentin Delafon wants to show you.

The lead singer for The Teenagers recently launched his own photo blog, called "What Really Happened" that shows his life in Paris and on the road.

Besides guest appearances by MIA, Mark Ronson, and Roison Murphy, the site has candid shots of Paris streets, band fans, midnight dinners, and raging parties.  Though Quentin isn't a professional photographer - and it shows - his images evoke a certain electric sleepiness that's become a hallmark of The Teenagers popular and sometimes controversial sound.

If you've ever wanted to see what life on the rock road is really like, this is a great place to do some research, but save yourself a hangover.
