The rear cover of their debut had this great action pic, shot at Maxwell’s in Hoboken:

I don’t know if they’re technically promo photos, but they’ve been used that way – these classic Steve Schapiro pics are as good as band photos get:

she reminds me of clark kent poorly concealing the superman identity in this photo. like we, as the audience, are sort of giggling at her inability to keep her awesomeness on the dl at this point. like ya... yer def not a super hero, nabihah. nope! winkwink
