Wow, these are great! Old Swedish dance bands...it’s amazing what they could do to their hair. It seems to me that color was an important factor (if you go to the link you’ll even see a band named “Three Blue & One Yellow”). They’re all so coordinated with their matching wardrobes. Plus interesting logo treatments (see bottom photo). See more here and here.
