Spinning Wigs

A BAND THAT TURNS HEADS

About Me

Spinning Wigs - An animated amalgam of post punk energy, psychedelic philosophy, and cartoon quirkiness. Ride the way-back machine and return to a dimly lit Greenwich Village club circa 1985 and watch the Wigs as they hold court in their paisley finery, surrounding you in a warm wash of sepia-toned sound which echos into eternity as if from some cheap pawnshop spring reverb.
If ever there was a band ripe for the Hanna-Barbera treatment, the Spinning Wigs are it. So pretend it's Saturday morning, adjust the rabbit ears on your Zenith and tune-in to the Spinning Wigs.
(A hint: it was the creepy caretaker, and if it wasn't for those pesky kids, he would have gotten away with it too!)
