Horsehead: Traditional American Rock N' Roll to Tour Europe
"I've always tried to model our sound after my favorite records from the late Sixties and early Seventies without sounding dated," says guitarist and vocalist Jon C. Brown of Horsehead, explaining, "I see us as a traditional American rock and roll band."
The son of a Baptist minister, Brown has been singing since he was three years old and has played rock for a long time. And in the course of recording a solo album in 2004, he enlisted the talents of the three seasoned musicians who with him would form Horsehead.
While Horsehead has enjoyed playing such large venues as Hat Factory, Brown says, "I do, however, love playing the smaller places such as The Camel and Poe's Pub just as much. I like to be close to the people!"
Horsehead's new album, Before the Bright Lights, was released in May and is available at www.beforethebrightlights.com. The band is also preparing for a European tour.
In addition to Brown, Horsehead members include the rhythm duo of Andre LaBelle on drums with Randy Mendicino playing bass and singing backup. Kevin Inge plays lead guitar and also adds background vocals.
