Release Notes:
--------------
head-less hails from Lausitz, Germany, whose members have set the goal
to produce their own version of electronic pop music. In their songs
head-less attach importance to a high degree of danceability and
contemporary electronic sounds. Concerning the realm of music they are
most likely to be classified to Electro/Futurepop with influences by
different forms of electronic music. In the late ninetees they had
their first musical attempts and decided to form a band. After a few
recastings, the line-up now consists of Rene Hentzschel (vocal /
lyrics), Markus Otto (samples / management) and Matthias Marko (keys /
programming).
Since 2001, head-less themselves have produced two Demo CDRs:
Compromise (1998) and Its Enough E.P. (1999). In autumn 2000 they
released their debut EP/CD 'Friendship' that was produced in their own
headquarter-studio. With the single they were not only able to have
airplay-performances in the regional area and abroad but also to get
positive criticism and acknowledgement by specialist publications and
DJs.
In the end of 2002 head-less released their long-expected debut album
(transponder), including the title Licht im Grau that even advanced to
a hit in some Saxon scene clubs.
Being a live-band they could make a name at numerous clubgigs and open
air festivals, i.a. as support for bands like E-Craft, Beborn Beton,
Blind Passengers, DE/ Vision, S.P.O.C.K., Funker Vogt and Covenant.
Because of the charismatic singer and frontman Rene Hentzschels
infectious stage performance the concerts are a real experience and
disprove the clichΘ of the static synthie-show.
In 2004 head-less successfully took part in the Battle of the Bands,
the contest of the scene magazin Sonic Seducer. Of about 500 bands of
the European Gothic and Electro scene head-less managed to position
themselves within the Top 5 of the renowned specialist jury. Inspired
by that, head-less decided to produce further songs with Kolja Trelle (
SOMAN ), one of the top-producer concerning the Electro/Industrial
Scene, in his KOLTRON studio. These are now released in form of the
Ship Of Agony E.P., that also offers a few remixes of well-known and
internationally successful bands. So the successful American Electro
formation Assemblage 23, the Swedish Colony 5 as well as the German
Accessory, Cephalgy and Rector Scanner, among others, contributed their
versions of diverse head-less songs to the E.P.. One will definitely
ensure some sensation also with this publication in the scene again.
In summer 2005, after a 18 months long concert break the Electronic
Body Pop Trio experienced again on the stages of clubs and festivals
together with internationally successful bands such as Camouflage, Mesh
or Project Pitchfork. Afterwards, recordings for another studio album
are planned that will be released in 2006 and they will support
MELOTRON on their clubtour in germany.
head-less have the qualifications and abilities to stand out of a big
number of newcomers of the scene so that they will be appreciated by
the audience and in the clubs. :)
This special promo edition is limited to 250 and comes in an etched
metal tin.
