Some tracks are german, but not enough to tag it -de-, as far as
I'm concerned
head-less is the bands name from the Lausitz, Germany, whose
members have set themselves 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 found a band. After a few
recastings the line-up has been consisting of
Rene Hentzschel ( vocal I lyrics )
Markus Otto ( samples, management )
Matthias Marko ( keys, programming )
since 2001. head-less themselves have produced two Demo
CDRs: Compromise (1998) and Its Enough E.P. (1999) ever
since they existed. 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 cliché 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.
...just be prepared for the future...
