Profane, Benny

[David Morris]

Please pardon my ignorance.  But does this Art photo book have anything to
do with this band?

Benny Profane were a *rock band from Liverpool, England that existed from
1985 until 1990*. They released two albums, various singles and EPs, and
recorded three John Peel sessions.

All of which gets us back to Pynchon?

After recording their first demo with Will Sergeant
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Sergeant> helping out on guitar, they
were joined by Robin Surtees.[1]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Profane#cite_note-Strong-1> The name
was taken from a character in the Thomas Pynchon
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Pynchon> novel, V.
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V.>[2]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Profane#cite_note-Larkin-2> The
first release was "Where is Pig?" (the title also a reference to V) on Sub
Pop UK (not related to the US label Sub Pop
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_Pop>).

Or does the photo book stand alone, with no visible attribution to V.?
