    Chat #22 XENO & OAKLANDER!

    Chat #22 up, and delighted to feature minimal-synth stalwarts Xeno & Oaklander! Formed in the mid-2000s over a shared love of early coldwave electronic music, Sean McBride and Liz Wendelbo have been conjuring essential cuts of glacial and ethereal synthpop and forging a reputation for solely working with analogue machines and recording in single takes. One of the most vital forces in electronic music today, and with new album VIA NEGATIVA (in the doorway light) out next month, join us as we explore their first encounters with synthesizers, radical theatre, and exactly which Italian perfume their upcoming LP might smell like, enjoy!

    Chat #20 VR SEX!

    Chat 20 incoming and the first of the year with dystopian acid punk ‘Noel Skumm’ from VR Sex! Unleashing massive hefts of enveloping power-pop soaked in Chrome-like radiation and electro-discolouration, Skumm’s lyrical anxieties surrounding tech’s suffusion with humanity and the queasy subterranean of urban life have only festered more presciently since 2019’s ‘Horseplay’. Back with new album ‘Hard Copy’ and renewed snarl, plug-in and join us as we talk underground cinema, channel 98, Japanese sex dolls, and L.A.'s seamy underbelly!   Listen to new album Hard Copy Follow VR Sex on Instagram and Facebook Watch new video for 'Inanimate Love'   Head to headsonsticks.co.uk for regular write-ups on the latest releases in alternative and underground music, and keep up to date with the latest 'Ead 'appenings on Facebook, Instagram, and Mixcloud!

    Chat #19 ALISON STATTON!

    Nineteenth Chat incoming with Young Marble Giants singer Alison Statton!

    Chat #18 ZOLAR X!

    Chat #18 has beamed down to Earth with none other than Ygarr Ygarrist from alien rockers Zolar X! Landing at the cusp of glam and fuelled by Ziggy, Star Trek, and a healthy disdain for double denimed hippie stagnation, Ygarr, their mime-robotic frontman Zory Zenith, and a revolving door of like-minded space cadets conjured dizzyingly thrilling ‘rocket roll’ which straddled the coming punk explosion while reaching for the prog cosmos! Join us as we explore the Zolar X TV show that never happened, the great Alternative Tentacles resurrection, UFOs over Hollywood, rivalries with KISS, and get Zolarized!   Follow Zolar X on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok Order the authorised memoir Out of this World: The Story of Zolar X Listen to new material over at their Bandcamp     Head to headsonsticks.co.uk for weekly write-ups on the latest releases in alternative and underground music, and keep up to date with the latest 'Ead 'appenings on Facebook, Instagram, and Mixcloud!
