HEADS OF STATE

About Me

We are HEADS OF STATE, formerly known as Republican Stunt Doubles, formerly known as Heads of State. We are an extremely foolhardy group with a solid understanding of reality...the realization that our lyrics are silly and purely commentary...and aren't filled with personal angst designed to sell something we won't believe in next year...the realization we aren't cute and our haircuts aren't fashionable...the realization we aren't "rock-chic" enough for some venues...the realization that none of the above SHOULD matter when it comes to music...but it apparently does. We love music, we love playing music, we're getting better at it all the time, we play original material with extended soloing and improvisation (the suburbs are not very fond of that concept). So, if you like music as much as we do, come say hi to us. If not, at least make sure your wallet chain glistens-in-the-sun...man.Our material and basic interests include, and are completely not limited to: 1.20.01-1.20.09/THE ULTIMATE POSTER CHILDREN FOR THE ANTI-IMAGE SOMETIMES INTELLIGENT ROCK BAND/?-ing the concept of the suburbs/really arrogant footwear/minimally stated vocals/unpop-not "rock-chic" minor-7 chord progressions/proper taint maintenance/face-melting/tone-seeking/humor/Carly Simon/wallet chains as a retarded fashion statement and an insult to truckers everywhere/beer/destroying all padded toilet seats/listening to Bee Gees on a slow worn out turntable/how do bats poo while hanging upside down and not poo on themselves?/Mr. Rogers' philosophy after two beers or a Scotch/minimal facial grooming (weekends only)/1x10e more things to list that there just isn't room for...
