Oakland-based band Makeunder released their album ‘Great Headless Blank’ earlier this year.
The album is really out there. It’s got so much going on, so many musical styles, so many words to take in. It’s a refreshingly different collection of music.
Title track “Great Headless Blank” is my favorite of the bunch.
“While I am asleep
I’m waiting for the hole to mend me
And make it all better
Well, you can try”
Amen to those words.
Check out Makeunder on the band’s Website where you can learn of an upcoming show in San Francisco and buy their music.
Cheers!
We are such big olive fans here, I’m going to add this to our Christmas buffet! What a great idea!
Yay! I think you will really love it. It’s so easy, too.
My family loves it so much they asked for it again this year!
That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know. x
