I'll take the reggae batton and give it a twist:

I used to vaguely know the guitarist/ vocalist in the white t-shirt. One of us went on to bigger and better things:

It's late enough for this now:

Includes an absolutely stonking version of 'Chocolate Salty Balls'. :D

Current 'newbies' are the Wombats (Sounds refreshingly like a crashed-out debut album - what it lacks in melody/finesse it makes up for in excitement/energy) and The Ting-Tings (three great tracks, loads of great sonic ideas and a ton of potential. And would'ya lads, would'ya?).

Fan-bstard-tastic.

I recognise Max and Igor Cavalera of Sepultura.

The bloke in the white t-shirt I don't recognise at all.
