Hi we're Wighead

About Me

Tulsa World describes Wighead as "Tulsa's charmingly childish Zappa-esque quirk-pop foursome"

Wighead formed in 2001 with just two weird kids, a drum machine, and a four track recorder. They recorded their first album "Someone in Texas Loves You" featuring 63 tracks of insanity leaked onto analogue tape.

After taking a break to pursue other interests, those two weird kids decided to get the band back together when they noticed the Tulsa music scene growing. They recruited Matthew to play bass with them, and for a year they were a three piece with a drum machine. Finally, accepting the need for a drummer, Tony joined. Shortly after Jeff fell in with the Wighead crowd and became their new bass player.

Their new EP "The Lumberjack EP" is on sale now! Pick it up at Under the Mooch or at any Wighead gathering.
