Yelena Yemchuk

Photographer, Kings of Leon (page 58)

<

Though she’d already known they were related, Yemchuk was surprised by how closely the Followills resembled one another. “I still don’t know which one is the cousin!” she admits. The New Yorker has shot for Italian and Japanese Vogue, and is finishing a photo book titled Gydropark. Favorite ’⁷⁰s band: “Led Zeppelin for sound, Steely Dan for look.”

Charles Wilkin
Illustrator, Rock and Politics
(page 90)
> Wilkin, ³⁸, found ample inspiration
in the collision of music and politics.
“The project was full of controversy,”
he says. “I had some amazing visuals to
work with.” The Brooklyn resident’s work
has appeared in Vanity Fair, New York,
and Fortune, and more of it can be seen
at charleswilkin.com. First album: Iron
Maiden’s Piece of Mind

David Peisner Writer, Kings of Leon (page 58) < “They’re down-home Southern boys, but they actually have pretty refined tastes,” says Peisner, 35, of Kings of Leon. “It makes for an odd juxtaposition when they go from talking about food and wine to talking about going to a cattle auction to buy a bull for breeding.” The Decatur, Georgia resident has written for Playboy and Details. Favorite Kings of Leon song: “Fans”

Michael Odell Writer, Noel Gallagher (page 68) < Odell didn’t always find the Oasis guitarist’s manner easy. “He can be combative when you least expect it,” the Londoner says. “Only when I was transcribing my tape did I realize he had slipped into one of his rambling monologues that I was a ‘spineless fucking journalist.’” The ⁴⁴-year-old has written for Q, The Observer, and Elle. Favorite Oasis song: “Slide Away”
