Shake - Colossal Head

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. Read more on Last.fm.
