Headshear

Headshear is a 4 piece band from San Francisco specializing in instrumental strangeness, and lush soundscapes. Succinctly described as post-Progressive rock, Headshear creates challenging music with odd meters, polyrhythms and complex harmonies. If string quartets had their hey day after the advent of electricity, distortion boxes, digital delay and had integrated it with rock/punk/jazz drums you'd get Headshear. 21st century post-punque chamber music...from the quiet and beautiful to the loud and powerful.

Guitarists Gwynn Addams, and Deirdre Lynds, co-founders of Headshear, blend together not so much like 2 guitar players, but more like one single 4-armed guitarist. They're joined by bassist Van Spragins and drummer Hudson Bunce. Their hard work has paid off with the release of their first album on Seattle's Big Balloon Music in August 2006. The band began playing live in March 2006.
