Headshear, Hotel Utah, 04/11/09

“What a Wonderful World” or “15 Steps, then a shear drop”? Sometimes it’s just a matter of inches. We’re all thrown up here on this World, like it or not, to fend for ourselves and are all subsequently struggling to figure out why and what for. Sometimes we think we’ve grasped the reason, in a rainbow or a flying bird or the light in someone’s eye, and the next day it’s all hell again. The wounded animal gets hungry or cornered and fears for it’s very life.
And then there’s good music that brings everything disparate together.
Headshear at Hotel Utah
When you just can’t reconcile your beautiful humanity with the mechanistic qualities of mortal existence you need Headshear. That means you…grasshopper.
Decide for yourself. Here’s the whole show captured in Binaural stereo.

Like those middle year monochromatic King Crimson albums Discipline, Three of a Perfect Pair, and Beat, but without the vocals, Headshear dominate the barren prog landscape. Outstanding chops, ambitious composition and obvious dedication make this foursome something to behold. Their virtuosity is not often seen in a little club like this, but it’s magic when it happens. People tend to value mundane things like melody and witty lyrics from a cute lead singer. Headshear has none of that, so it’s not for everyone. But go see Heashear if you want to expand your head and get a broader perspective on the possibilities of music.
They play Thursday, May 7th (2009) at Kimos.
