The Heads are back
New 7" https://fortemusicdistribution.bandcamp ... born-to-go
Details of undersided box set and show with Mudhoney in London in September: https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2022 ... -only.html
Pretty excited about this. Guessing there will be a Bristol show the night before the London gig too.

Re: The Heads are back
Is there a reason why they won't record a new album or a full tour?
Re: The Heads are back
If i hadn't just ordered the two different coloured singles i'd swear this was some sick April Fool's joke.

Re: The Heads are back
Personal differences and a dislike of touring i think. Happy to be corrected on that.

Bunch o lazy hippies....
I think that The Heads is at best a hobby. They all have jobs and families these days. I want the Kandodo set from Liverpool Psyzk Fest to be released before anything new from The Heads. To be honest I don't really need any more mini disc recordings from The Circle In The Square.
Re: The Heads are back
I gave up on the limited edition cd releases of rehearsal space recordings. Some of them are unlistenable. I ordered the new 7" because it's studio material.
Re: The Heads are back
If there was another decent gig in London that weekend i might be tempted. A repeat of 2009 would be nice; The Heads blow Mudhoney off the stage at Koko coupled with Spiritualized at the RFH.
Don't think i've been to the Electric Ballroom since Stereolab in 1994.
Then again, if there was a Bristol show i could do that then head up to Liverpool for the Rose City Band the following night. In all likelihood i'll do neither as it's the week after Electric Picnic.

Re: The Heads are back
Ah bollocks. Don't tell me it clashes with RCB in Liverpool. What a pain in the arse as I have never seen RCB and definitely want to change that. Might have to take in their MCR show instead.

Re: The Heads are back
Yep RCB in Liverpool Sat.10th Sept. Same night as The Heads in London. But as you suggested they may play in Bristol the night before.

Re: The Heads are back
The Heads do seem to have a case of Acid Mothers Temple syndrome where seemingly every note played in rehearsal is deemed worthy of release. I guess if you are a true hardcore fan, it is. I'm more of a casual fan.
Can't seem to find a full details and tracklisting for the boxset? Guess that will follow closer to the time

Re: The Heads are back
Undersided Boxset/ Double lp/ 2cd available for preorder at the usual places.
They are also playing Bristol on Friday 9th September as well as the London gig w/Mudhoney the following night. Hmmm...Bristol is a definite tempter.

Re: The Heads are back
100 quid for the 4LP boxset!
Re: The Heads are back
2 cds and a slip mat and booklet in there as well, I think its value for money if its your bag, whether it needs or deserves such a deep dive is another matter. Compare it to the ludicrous price for Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubs - BRMC boxset, £130 with postage, dl album and a single 9 track album of out takes and a booklet, that`s taking the piss, i`m afraid my vinyl purchases are going have to be a bit more considered, both those albums stand alone reissue versions are coming in at nearly £40 each !!
Funny the BJM album in a gatefold sleeve is widely available for £18, somebody is at it somewhere

Re: The Heads are back
Yeah i guess the cds etc add more value. I still think they are charging more than they would a few years ago. The BRMC one is another level you're right. Vinyl prices seem to be all over the place at the moment. Boxsets are one thing but also seeing double albums at 30-40 quid sometimes.

Re: The Heads are back
Spotted this and thought of your post here. BRMC have released the 9 outtakes as a standalone vinyl, which is fair enough. But Rough Trade are selling for £33 so someones definitely taking the piss somewhere!

Re: The Heads are back
Rough Trade are definitely at it, they are always £3/4/5 dearer than anyone else, robbing bast#rds in my opinion, I did manage to get it from a shop in Glasgow, Strip Joint Records, who have been pretty decent in my limited dealing with them, managed to get it in a summer sale with 30% off, original price £29 so got almost £10 off it, pays to shop around the lesson thereangel-sighs wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 5:45 pmSpotted this and thought of your post here.

Re: The Heads are back
Posts on social media look like they are in a studio recording. At first I thought perhaps they were just rehearsing, but they posted an image of a microphone at the bottom of a staircase with the caption "ambient drum mic." Anyone know anything?
Re: The Heads are back
Just rehearsals for their two gigs this weekend i assume. Maybe to be released at a later date?

Re: The Heads are back
Undersided boxset #263 arrived today. It looks great but i've not had a chance to listen to any of it yet.
I do suspect that a couple of the Live at Thekla tracks on the two bonus cd's were already released by Cardinal Fuzz as Reverberations Vol.2. Haven't checked the dates so can't confirm, but I would be slightly disappointed if true. Oh and no download codes either (which happened with the Everybody Knows...box too).
