Head Automatica

Thought it would be a good idea to create a thread for the band.

 

Hyped to finally see them live!

 

Really exiting they are touring again. Bummed I can't make the tour myself though . LOVE Foxy also

 

Very curious to see A) what the set list is and B) if they have any new music in the works

 

Their Apple Music has some unreleased songs (that I’ve never heard before) and music videos now.

 

I don't mean to be dramatic, but if they don't come over to the UK soon then I might die.

 

News to me that they’re touring at all. May have to snag tickets for the Portland show

 

I saw them in a tiny venue/bar years ago in Boston and it was a blast. Hopefully I’ll get a chance again.

 

this will never come anywhere close to me so I'm just gonna hope it means he's finally thinking about dropping Swan Damage

 

One of the most fun live shows I've been to (like 15ish years ago), just everyone dancing!

 

been relistening to their stuff today for the first time in ages and it's wild both how different the two albums sound and how inconsistent they are. Decadence alone has like three all-timers on it and then Head Automatica Sound System which is just embarrassing as hell

 

I knew a cat named Feelixxxx

 

just so bad lmao

 

I just recently listened to both albums again too and I think the first album is nearly perfect aside from that track which, as you say, is so bizarre

 

I really love that the album is bookended with two absolute rippers and everything in between is more fun/poppy

 

dude really put that on the album instead of this absolute classic. I will never understand how his mind works lmao

 

I need to do a b sides / leaks listen again now, soooooo many tracks

 

Is swan damage out there? I’ve listened to like a youtube comp of live stuff but i dont think ive heard studio versions

 

It's not

 

Ok, they were one of the worst sounding bands I ever heard at Sad Summer Fest in Jersey :(. Daryl's annunciation and pitch on almost every word was off. The guitar was so loud it hurt. It was a distorted mess.

Made Adam from TBS seem like a good singer...

 

Uh ohhhhhhhh

 

Yeahhh the last couple of times I’ve seen Glassjaw he sounded pretty terrible too. Can’t say I’m all that surprised. Might be holding off on that headliner after all

 

Kinda let down by their Sad Summer set in Philly on Saturday. We left half way through to eat, seems like a lot of people made that their dinner break for the day.

 

Is "Last Bible" a new song? I see it on a recent set list

 

Yeah they played it at my show last week and announced it as a new song. They didn't sound super great. Weren't awful but I could barely hear him sing and the guitar was super loud in comparison and it all felt a bit off. Then again I complained that for LS Dunes I could barely hear the vocals too so maybe it's just my hearing going
