About Me

Oozing from the local tap around 1994 or so, the spores that festered into the Parallel Gawdheads were dropped in a skeezy apartment above maniacal Bev and Tommy, a brimallo and a boozy pot bellied dwarf with Einstein-like hair. Three guys chose to escape pure boredom and drudgery and storm the mayor's neighborhood with general chaos. This beginning bloomed slowly, over years, into something resembling the Gawdheads. Much like the avian flu, it mutated and spread to others, travelling halfway across the country at one point, to infect and multiply. It was not so much a band as a cult, a religion, a movement, or maybe just a bad idea. The Gawdheads never remained in one form long enough to be identified, yet were omnipresent nonetheless. From deep within the sub-culture, from the shallows of the timeless well of gaucherie, there is a call, penetrating the depths of your very souls, permeating your senses, overwhelming your sanity. There is no escape.....Remember your inner Gawdhead.a img{}a:hover img{}body{scrollbar-arrow-color:990000;scrollbar-Track-Color :;scrollbar-Highlight-Color:990000;scrollbar-base-color:9900 00;scrollbar-Face-Color:;scrollbar-Shadow-Color:990000;scrol lbar-DarkShadow-Color:990000/STYLE
