Headshear Loser Face

This was written after Headshear had paired down to a quartet with just Deirdre and I on guitar. Hudson Bunce plays drums on this track. It's kind of a cross between the Police and our King Crimson influences.

Complex Nothing

A good example of how we've merged our Cocteau Twins and King Crimson influences together.

Urban Conversation

Funky, jazzy, groove that explodes into polyrhythmic madness...actually even though we are all practically playing in a different time signature the syncopation feels like it grooves in 4/4. Well that's my opinion.
Sonic decapitations brought to you by our own unique brand of instrumental strangeness!!
Band/artist history
Headshear goes back about ten years to when I started playing with Deirdre Lynds. She is an incredible guitar player/composer and on top of that we just have a certain chemistry. I've played with a lot of other guitarists and always found it difficult to blend styles and have similar instincts. Knowing that we wanted to play challenging instrumental music that is more akin to classical chamber music than say jazz fusion, with endless turns soloing ad nauseum, we perservered for 8 years looking for the right musicians. Lo and behold, our wonderful bassplayer, Van Spragins, showed up underneath my very nose. He's been with us for a little over 3 years. Headshear started gigging in late 2001, making our debut at the Progressive Projections festival in San Francisco. From that point until March 2004, Matthew Guggemos was our esteemed kit player. We've also had the good fortune of having Igor Abuladze and Wally Scharold fill the role of our 3rd guitarist.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, although, currently we are looking to replace a drummer and third guitarist so we can continue gigging in the SF Bay Area.
