Woodenhead, USA

News: I thought this band were inactive and I'd already archived this page. But they're back with a new live album celebrating their 43rd (?!) anniversary.


Location: New Orleans, Louisiana

Overview: Starting as a relatively normal fusion band of the late 70s, Woodenhead continued to up the energy level as they got older. A fine, and yet still undiscovered band.

Dreadnaught, USA

News: Wow - I was half asleep on my last update. I was promoting the Colorado band Dreadnought (note spelling). OK, then.... Nothing new from our favorite New Hampshire band. Sorry about that guys!


Location: Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Overview: King Crimson meets Boud Deun and Fred. I can already anticipate your next question. Who is King Crimson?
