HEAD SPIN

Head Spin biography
Nottingham, UK musician Andy SCOFFIN is single handedly writing, playing, programming and producing his instrumental psychedelic/space rock project HEAD SPIN which formed in 2020.

The lefthanded guitarist started playing at age 13, inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Steve Hillage, Andy Garcia and Frank Zappa among others. Over the next 10 years he played in a number of short lived bands before joining the Grateful Dead tribute band, the Grateful Dudes in 2015, remaining there until today. HEAD SPIN's debut, the 2021 ep "Digitalis" was followed by the single "Wax Donor" and the lp "Escape Velocity" the year after. 2023 saw the release of a single with a re-imagined version of "Moai", a track off the debut ep.

The music bears clear affinities with Ozric Tentacles - and Ed Wynne's solo material - as well as You-era Gong and the solo work of Steve Hillage.
