Back when they were 16, David Goo and Aner Rabinovitz wrote and played a bunch of crazy songs together. They performed them for their friends, they performed them for their neighbours. They even performed them at their high school graduation play.
25 years later, Aner got together with David and proposed they get the band together again, and record those teenage songs in legendary studios and with incredible musicians they couldn’t have even dreamed of in their wildest teen fantasies.
The result is their debut album - Headless: A Tale of No Heads, and the first single is about what every teenager - and as they've grown to realize, every adult - feels more than they care to admit: completely and utterly Bored. Singles Cucumber's Revenge, Putzu Yonim and The Unique Eunuch followed.
Headless makes Fun Music for Fun People. A seamless blend of styles and genres melted into catchy tunes that make you smile and nod and forget about your troubles. Think Madness, Blues Brothers, Frank Zappa, Presidents of The United States of America, Supergrass, Queen, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.
