Any Severed Heads fans here?

[laikenf]

Been a HUGE fan since discovering them in the mid 90's. Found this on Youtube, not a lot of gear spotting, but it's a great performance nevertheless...

I Love them !!!

Tracks like "Dead Eyes Opened" to "Ants Can't See Legs" to "Harold & Cindy's Hospital" are absoutely amazing.

They were way ahead of their time

defintely, in a way, i always thought this track was some kind of blueprint of Emotional electronic dance music like detroit Techno

Dead Eyes Opened and Halo have two of most beautiful arpeggio sequences I've heard. I've always thought they where Skinny Puppy's hippie side ...

They have nothing to do with SP with the exception that Ellard did some work on Bite and/or Remission. And maybe Mind:TPI.

Oh you're certainly right; what I meant was that their music had a similar approach to SP's, both pretty twisted in their own way (with lots of sonic/rhythmic experimentation, sample mangling and vocal treatments), but SH's music seems a bit more on the lighter side of the coin if you will.

Ahhh... gottya.

I had been a fan when I was like 17 back in the 80ties
even saw them live in a really small town in southern Germany playing for an audience of like less than 100 people

I still remember the one guy doing nothing all the time he smoked a cigarette and started the drum machine on occasion

and they had these videos running

my favorite song was and is Army i think

I used to watch them play at the Art Unit in Alexandria in Sydney,
before they were quite Severed Heads.
I remember this guy on a step ladder triggering bizarre video graphics with a commodore 64.

Yeah, Tom Ellard is still going and has a site tom ellard with his new projects and all the old tracks are on bandcamp.

"We have come to bless this house" was a favourite.

I have almost all his old stuff on vinyl. Very happy about it too.

there are some videos around with his sampling sound methods.. cooking records scratching them up then playing them, dropping a melon out of a window with a mic stuck into the middle of it.
