Githead are
Malka Spigel, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) & Colin Newman. Find out more about the band at www.githead.com

Githead are very new, yet in their short existence have managed to craft a style which is both original yet accessible. Combining rhythmic toughness with interweaving guitars, insistently funky basslines with deadpan vocals.

HeadGit is their debut, self titling, release 6 tracks which can serve as both an introduction to the band and a taster for their first album planned for early 2005.

------------
"unusually accessible, even funky", "To Have And To Hold and Profile summoning echoes of the industrial dub grooves of PiL's Metal Box", "on Reset, the result has the same texture and simplicity, as Neu!'s majestic motorik exercise "E-Musik" " - Andy Gill The Independent

"...Headgit is primarily intended as a ‘taster’ for an album scheduled for early 2005. Whatever it’s more than strong enough to stand on it’s own. Although Newman’s deadpan vocal style and recognisable guitar sound recall Wire, Headgit is more playful than the parent group’s recent album, Send. It sounds brighter and more relaxed" - Mia Clarke The WIRE Magazine

"when they’re good – as on Reset and Profile – they’re astonishingly good, both angular & polished" – James Snodgrass NME

"Six near-perfect slices of pulsating, rhythmic music that burrow deep into your consciousness, keeping you hooked throughout, but still providing enough depth for the EP to hold up during heavy rotation" - Craig Grannell Wireviews

"cult classic of tomorrow" - Q Magazine
