HOT HEAD SHOW

Hot Head Show biography
HOT HEAD SHOW have turned a lot of heads since their debut 'THE LEMON LP' reached the ears of American bass legend Les CLAYPOOL, at whose request they spent much of 2011 touring Europe and the USA with cult superstars PRIMUS. The international fanbase they achieved that year demanded that they return to Europe for two startlingly successful tours as headliners in 2012, leading to their signing with RBL Records in Italy and Noisolution in Germany, in addition to their longstanding relationship with Tentacle Entertainments in the UK and North America.

Since then, they've sold out both rock clubs and jazz clubs, having been variously labeled ''mind-bending art-pop/avant-jazz/flamenco-punks'' (Artrocker), ''ironic, surreal alt-folky avant-ska'' (Rumore, IT), ''A whiplash of melodically tense, undulating avant-funk-rock-blues'' (The Rumpus, USA), ''Maddening'' (Kerrang), ''Inherently Sexy'' (Notion) and worse. For the band themselves, the genre classification of their sophomore album 'Perfec't is simple ''It's Maximalist Avant-Bang''.

Perhaps this is what you'd expect from a band whose singer/guitarist is a former film-editor whose parents are Sonja KRISTINA of CURVED AIR and Stewart COPELAND of THE POLICE. A band whose drummer held a residency as a composer at the Royal Festival Hall when he was 22, and whose lead bassist is the oft-naked, messianic frontman of fellow Tentacle signing SUPER BEST FRIENDS CLUB.

Thei 2013 album, 'PERFECT' has been described as a mixture of TALKING HEADS, THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, FRANK ZAPPA, DEERHOOF, MICACHU, SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS, and every artist who's tried to totally redefine their medium.
