We're Back Baby......

Its official:

“IDIOTHEAD ARE ALIVE AND WELL, AND RECORDING IN ST. JOSEPH.”

After one long year of ups and downs, false starts and near explosive fits of rage, Idiothead are saddling up for one more go around.

Story goes like this:

After 2006’s ZOOMAZOAPOZA, Idiothead showed some promise. They were no longer mostly 3 chords and talking about their cocks. They had some feeling behind their words. Some viewpoints to make. Songs like DUBAYA, BUSHWACKED and YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A POPSTAR showed that they were above and beyond what they were once referred to as: “As if Beavis and Butthead got ahold of a drum machine and a mic.”

But all through 2007, it was deathly quiet.

In September 2006, Shane and his wife welcomed their first child into the world. Adam meanwhile was gearing up to move his life to St. Joseph, MI. Same town as Shane lived in. Soon, they would get together and set in motion plans to make IDIOTHEAD.COM a priority.

But it never came to pass.

Why? No one knows. From my view, I was busy rebuilding a life. Shane, dealing with a new promotion, fatherhood and family matters. I got hired for comic gigs, focused on getting out of debt and all that. We barely seen each other. At times, if felt like we were growing apart. It hurt really. Shane, desperate for some sort of creative outlet other than the random podcast recording started jamming with a new band called CUDD and recently cut a 5 track CD in Grand Rapids. It seemed all hope for new IDIOTHEAD had been lost. Both had moved on to their own various interests and the world wouldn’t be the same without another `Head album.

But one thing we’ve never lost sight of, is that we’ve got 15 years together. 15 years as friends. You can’t stop that train. You just can’t.

Shane and I just weren’t on the same page. Either he thought I was too busy, or visa versa. But we both are on the same page with a TON of ideas and we’re both rearing to go! We start this weekend recording IH#4. Our fourth album. Wow.

Who knows what its gonna sound like? Will we grow? Will we offend? Well, who knows. But all our listeners out there (all 10 of you) will surely not be disappointed. We got a year’s worth of jokes, aggression and greed to get out of our systems. Its gonna be a rock bloodbath, I assure you.

So lock up your daughters and chain up the giraffes. IDIOTHEAD is back.

Jesus Wept.
