Big Dead Bull Head - A Tale of Two Bullheads

I am sick and have the flu and I don't what I am saying any more. But I can
tell you this:

 



Being in a band is a lot like being in a relationship or a marriage.
There is usually a division of tasks: "Honey, you take out the trash/I'll
book the rehearsal space/we're going to my mother's house on Saturday/we're
almost out of bass strings..."

I am in a band called Big Dead Bullhead with my brother Paul and drummer
John Cochrane. And we do it for completely different reasons.

One of us might be using the band as a vessel of catharsis. As a way to
exorcise his innermost feelings and demons. To wrestle with himself (or
selves).

Some people just do it for the attention.

I know that I do it because I want to see if I can step on the button that
turns off the dinosaur noises BEFORE the third verse starts.

Just as everyone's experience is unique. Just as everyone experiences a
piece of art or music or food in their own way - being in a band can be a
unique experience for the individuals involved.

We offer you  - A Tale of Two Bullheads
