Spin Records bio Gloria's Head is one of those alternative bands that make you throw your head back and shout, "Thank you Jesus!" While blending core melodies and chords that keep true to alt.-indie music, the band adds originality and scratchy vocals, making a world for themselves in a realm of post-punk evolutionary wanderings.The band formed after guitarist/vocalist Nick Lamagna decided to give up on the suburban wasteland of Southern California and headed for the overpriced paradise of the San Francisco Bay Area. It all came together back in the Clinton heydays of the late '90s (1998); Nick was recording follow-up songs to his solo album Darlings Out of Cocktail when he enlisted the help of bassist Ron Cook and drummer Bob Wolffe on a couple of tracks. Soon, one catalyst lead to another, and the boys had an indie masterpiece on their hands: the '99 release Sex Is Back. Soon after, the band added talented guitarist and vocalist Mark Hansen and, as that lame-*ss cliché goes, the rest was history.Sometimes we ask you here at SpinRecords.com, sometimes we seduce you with catchy hooks and fancy literary nonsense in order to sample music on the site. This time we are telling you: check out Gloria's Head. It's something that doesn't try to be anything more than it is: good rock n' roll Glorias Head was formed in the winter 0f 1998. Nick was recording some follow up songs after the release of his solo album "Darlings Out Of Cocktail" at Pure Sound in Sausalito. Bob and Ron were brought in to do the rhythm tracks and it felt so good they decided to form a band. Together, they wrote a bunch of songs, and in the summer of 1999, they recorded the tracks for "Sex Is Back". Bob was playing in a band with East Bay Ray at the time, and they got Ray to produce the album and throw down some tasty lead tracks. The CD "Sex Is Back" was released in the fall of 1999 and soon thereafter, Mark joined the band. Glorias Head is currently playing the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas in preparation of world conquest.
