Who said rock photographs died with rockstars in the early 90's? ROUTE 69 is Ville Juurikkala's two-year journey all over the world with the infamous Helsinki Vampires a.k.a The 69 EYES, Finland's premier glam-goth export band, showing how it is: ROCK'N'ROLL as its sleaziest on the stage, at the backstage, in the front row and naturally in the endless 24/7-parties. This is a photo book of a life style with sunglasses, black hair, leather jackets and groupies. This book started it all - rock photography was resurrected with the shots of these vampires!
