Biography

There are three bands named “The Heads”:

1) The Heads (1993), based in Bristol, belong to the space-rock school of extreme psychedelic rock founded by Hawkwind, but they also absorb the dadaistic elements of the Flaming Lips. Debuting with Quad (Rooster, 1993), the Heads spent a few years releasing only singles. Relaxing With… (Cargo, 1996) collects the 1993-1995 singles (1994’s epic 11-minute “Coogan’s Bluff,” 1995’s “Television”) and a few new tracks that show a much harder style - a demented soup of Stooges, MC5 and Blue Cheer. After the album, the band released the single “Gnu (Headhunter)” and the EPs Delwyn’s Conkers (Man’s Ruin, 1997) and Mao Tinnitus (Man’s Ruin, 1998). The Time Is Now (Man’s Ruin, 1998) collects the latest EPs.

Everybody Knows We Got Nowhere (Sweet Nothing, 2000)

The limited-edition Session 02 (Rocket, 2002) contains the 18-minute “Planet Suite No 3.”

Under Sided (Sweet Nothing, 2003) contains the monumental Heavy Sea (half an hour).

At Last (Sweet Nothing, 2003) is a live-in-studio album that revisits some of the band’s themes in a sort of improvised medley.

33 (Invada, 2005), released only in 33 copies on CDr + black & blue vinyl, collects rarities.
