Half of Buzz Foto with Joan Jett at The Runaways party. This movie is brilliant should not be missed!

We had a blast at the party for The Runaways this week. All of our friends were there from back in the day. Kristen Stewart was there of course and here she is bonding with our pal, They Mayor Of The Sunset Strip, Rodney Binghenheimer.

This is a classic photo of Joan Jett from The Runaways was taken at Flookies a baseball and hot dog joint on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks taken by our Brad Elterman. Back in 1977 the words “photo approval” did not exist. It was all about trust and relationships. Make sure that you do not miss The Runaways film. We were honored to have be at the Sundance screening and it is amazing!!

We love this photo!!! We just found it in our archives and scanned it.That is Marie Curie, Jackie Fox and Cherie Curie of The Runaways photographed in the Curie’s backyard in 1977. Marie was not in the band, but it did not matter as the Japanese went totally nuts over her and sent out a team from Tokyo to sign her up for a record deal. Do not miss the new Runaways film out in March. It is a work of art and totally cosmic!

Do you know who this handsome dude is? It is Kim Fowley living legend, founder,manager and producer of The Runaways. Buzz Foto’s Brad Elterman took this lovely photograph of Kim back in 1976 when The Runaways opened for Cheap Trick at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Looks like Kim was in fine form backstage, as always.

Just wait until you see Michael Shannon play Kim in new The Runaways film. Brad had the pleasure to meet Michael over the weekend at the post film Sundance party and shared with him his passion for photographing Kim over the years. He was and still is one of Brad’s favorite subjects to photograph.

We always preach that a photo must tell a story and this one is a prime example. Was Joan Jett suggesting that Buzz Foto photographer Brad Elterman “bug off” backstage in the Whiskey A Go Go dressing room back in 1977? What do you think?

Check out the cosmic Runaways t shirts that are available online. Totally cool!

No, Joan Jett is not telling Buzz Foto to piss off. That is just Joan being affectionate with us back in 1977. The photo was taken in 1977 backstage at a Runaways concert in 1977. We will never forget the aroma of that backstage dressing room at the Whiskey A Go Go. It was a combination of beer, weed, piss and puke. Charming. We will never forget those days!
