Head of Femur is a Chicago octet formed in
November of 2001 by Nebraska natives Mike
Elsener, Ben Armstrong, and Matt Focht.
The band was initially conceived as a forum for
the three to compose more straightforward pop
songs while awaiting the
reformation of their previous band, the
beautifully frenzied Pablo's Triangle. However,
that reformation looked increasingly
less likely as the weeks went on, and the
quality of the music being created by Head of
Femur was surprisingly high. With a
large catalog of songs already taking shape by
early 2002, Head of Femur began to recruit
musicians to flesh out the lineup
for live performance. The nature of the music
demanded more than the traditional rock band
instrumentation, so strings,
trumpet, and orchestral percussion were added
along with drums and bass. Head of Femur played
their first show at a small
club in Chicago in March of 2002. The positive
response was so strong that plans to record a
demo with local producer Jim
Bentley and perform at Chicago's famed Empty
Bottle were finalized by the end of the evening.
On the strength of that demo, Portland's Greyday
Productions signed Head of Femur in November,
2002. Recording sessions for
the band's debut album, Ringodom or Proctor,
took place in March 2003. Ten of Ringodom's
eleven songs were among the first of
the dozens composed by Elsener, Armstrong, and
Focht, and had been intended to comprise the
first record since their
inception. The album was recorded at Lincoln,
NE's Presto! Recording Studios with AJ Mogis,
who along with brother and
business partner Mike Mogis has helmed numerous
projects including Bright Eyes, The Faint, Azure
Ray, Rilo Kiley, Cursive,
Mos Eisley and SONGS:OHIA. Ringodom or Proctor
showcases a multitude of influences including
The Left Banke, Sparks, Brian
Eno, Roxy Music, The Beach Boys, The Zombies,
Talking Heads, Dexy's Midnight Runners, The
Flaming Lips, The Beatles, The
Kinks, Elton John, Elvis Costello, The Band,
Love, Pere Ubu, Roy Orbison, and The Cars.
Greyday Productions released Ringodom
or Proctor on August 12th, 2003.
Following more than a year of touring with such
acts as Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley, as well as
outings on their own, Head of
Femur signed with Brooklyn's spinART Records in
the Summer of 2004. Head of Femur are in great
company at spinART, whose
roster also includes Frank Black, Clem Snide,
The Apples In Stereo, The Dears, Richard
Thompson, Apollo Sunshine, and Gordon
Lightfoot! In August, 2004, Head of Femur set
about recording their next full-length record.
Hysterical Stars, as the album
is to be called, was recorded at Wall To Wall in
Chicago with engineers extraordinaire Chris
Brickley (Wilco, R. Kelly) and
Dan Dietrich. Hysterical Stars is slated for
release in Spring, 2005, but a few of the songs
are now available as part of a
downloadable iTunes EP! See the "THINGS" page on
this website to download the EP. Head of Femur
recently completed a stint
opening shows for fellow Chicagoans Wilco across
the Southern US, and the band aims to tour
extensively throughout 2005.
