HeddRush
An experimental Rock/Metal jam band, HeddRush has been around the San Fernando Valley for more than six years. They hardly play the same song the same way twice, and create intricate, layered compositions on the fly.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The two founding members of HeddRush, H. and Scary Berry, came from the legendary local band, "Alta" from the San Fernando Valley. Alta flourished in the early nineties, and split up in 1997. From the ashes, guitarist H and vocalist Scary Berry created HeddRush with the naturally gifted Percussionist P. Leonard, the solid Drummer T. Michaelsen, energizing Vocalist Joel, and longtime Alta friend Cat (bass), later replaced by Alta bass legend R. Govea. After the departure of Joel and T. Michaelsen, HeddRush enlisted the talented Chris Stern on drums and the amazing verbal acrobatics of Kai "The Golden Child" Simmons. R. Govea departed in 2002 (he found God). Members of HeddRush have also included guitarist Aaron C. (Social Justice), and Nick (Drums). H and Scary Berry are currently reforming the group. Stay tuned and thank you for the continued support.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
HeddRush plays live, but rarely. They have been seen in various local dives in the San Fernando Valley. They never announce their shows, and sometimes play under different monikers. If you want to experience the HeddRush, you have to find them.
