The Black Halos
The Black Halos are a kick ass band that hail from Vancouver, BC, Canada. The members are Billy Hopeless(vocals), Rich Jones (guitar), Jay Millette (guitar), Matt Camirand (bass) and Rob Zgaljic (drums). Also in the picture above in the yellow shirt, is their cool roadie C.C.
Originally named the Black Market Babies, the band changed its name for legal reasons involving the mishap of a band in the States with the same name.

Can you find Billy's finger?
"We want to play music that's exciting and energetic. There are too many boring bands playing music and there's not a lot of danger in rock n roll anymore. We want to bring the rock back to the kids, dammit! We will wear our Guns n Roses t-shirts with pride, in a non-ironic sort of way, and we will tour our asses off to bring rock n roll back to the people." -Rich Jones
When asked who Rob would save in a burning building, Slayer or Motley Crue, he replies: "I would let them both burn, I couldn't choose, I love them all equally, besides, they'd be closer to Satan."
