HAPPYHEAD
Fabulous
1992 EastWest Records America
Notes :
Happyhead was Carl Marsh's short-lived project following the dissolution
of Shriekback. Taking its cues from the pharmacological grooves of acid
house and the Madchester scene, Happyhead was a colorful, brash
coupling of acid house rhythms and loud guitars similar to Inspiral
Carpets, Carter U.S.M., Jesus Jones, or Happy Mondays. Happyhead
consisted of Marsh (dubbed Kylie) on vocals and guitars, Jim Kimberly
(JFK) on keyboards and drums, and Steve Greetham (the Great Steven) on
bass, with producer/mixer David Barratt taking an active writing role
with Marsh. Unfortunately, Happyhead just missed the dance rock boat;
their sole album, Give Happyhead, didn't come out until 1992, by which
time acid house had been replaced by grunge as the current flavor of the
month. Coupled with indifferent promotion by the group's label, the
changing of the pop music guards doomed Happyhead out of the gate. Marsh
continued with a solo career after the band's demise.
