The Times-Picayune previews The Head’s Dec. 18th show in Baton Rouge

The Times-Picayune Baton Rouge The Head Mud and Water baby robot mediaThere’s a lot of growing up that happens for most people in high school. For Atlanta-based band The Head, it included graduating from a cover band to a full-fledged, music-writing endeavor.

That maturing experience meant big things for the power-pop trio, the members of which found themselves in the tough spot of sometimes not being old enough to play in bars and clubs. Not so the case today, as each member is at last 21, and it certainly won’t be an issue when The Head plays at Mud and Water in Baton Rouge on Dec. 18.

Blue Indian names The Wild band of the month

the wild press photo Dreams are maps baby robot mediaIt was great to finally see you all play this past week at the Stuffing in Atlanta. How did you all come to be a part of the event and what were the two days you played like?

Witt (all answers): The Stuffing was a great experience for us. It was great to be in our hometown for Thanksgiving, and it just had a really cool family atmosphere. We played with Bad Books this summer at The Webster Hall in New York, and we started talking with them about The Stuffing. We’re really Grateful to Manchester Orchestra for asking us to be a part of it. The first night was all acoustic, and we were a little nervous, because we were the first band that night, and it was really cold and raining. I guess I was just worried that no one would get there in time for the first band, but when we came out to play the room was full, and it was great feeling. It was really cool to play acoustic, because we got to do some songs we don’t get to play very often, and to play to a quiet and attentive room was a really cool experience. The second night was all electric and we played last on our stage. It was so much fun, and it was cool to see the contrast in the energy of the crowd from the acoustic show the night before. We just had a great time hanging out with the Manchester Orchestra guys, our friends in Front Bottoms, and to see and chat with Kevin Devine again. There were also a lot of bands that we hadn’t seen before and were really excited to meet and play with. Big Jesus was one of my favorites.

Powerkompany reveals the story behind “Another One Born In New York” in American Songwriter exclusive

Song Premiere: Powerkompany, “Another One Born In New York” american songwriterCheck out “Another One Born In New York” off I Am More Than This, a gorgeous track from Athens, Georgia dream-pop duo Powerkompany’sdebut LP.

The song was inspired by some unusual circumstances (or, if you will, a typically normal day in the teeming metropolis of New York City.) Band members Marie Davon and Andrew Heaton met a girl who wanted to get married — to both of them.

“Maybe it was all a joke, maybe she was serious or maybe it was a little bit of both—who knows?” recalls Heaton. “She was from New York. She’d been a model, was a talented photographer and her father had been a Broadway producer. She sort of started courting Marie and me as if we were one person. It was madness, really.”  Read more…
