colossal head
began as a pet project for performing a collection
of songs Micah had written while still with 27bstroke6.
By comparison, colossal head is a technically
simple group, focused more on the songs than the elements
that make them up.
The Sound: [ fokadelic funkytonk ] Colossal
Head is an approachable Sunday afternoon armchair
rock'n'roll filled with sonic textures and wheelies.
The orchestration is taylored to achieved maximum
auditory pleasure while the arrangements are customized
to fully enhance the sonic tapestry. The songs range
from the gentle contented sigh of a Summer's afternoon
to the maniacal angst of a serotonin starved insomniatic
night when paranoia and depression would be an improvement.
But most of it is pretty feel-good stuff that readily
maps a deep wrinkle in the temporal lobe.
Musical Influences: Brian Wilson, the Electric Mayhem,
Roger Miller, David Byrne, JJ Cale, CSN, Guster, Beastie
Boys, Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West
Lyrical Influences: Kurt Vonnegut and Robert Pirsig
colossal head was formed August of 2003 by
Micah, Allyne, David, Brandes, and Shaggy. Some time
after recording "the lossing kind", Brandes
left the group to focus on other endeavours. The band
then took a short hiatus and regrouped with Pat playing
guitar. Shortly afterward, Allyne bowed out, at which
time Sarah joined.
Their roles are as follows:
