Title of the post get your attention? I think that’s kind of the point - Head is one of my favorite bands in the Philly local rock scene. Technically, Head never went anywhere… but they’ve been going through line-up changes, taking some time in the studio, working their asses off at their day jobs so Philly hasn’t been treated to a live show in a minute.

I had the opportunity to see a “rehearsal” at The Nail in Ardmore last night (what other band has rehearsal at a bar?? It was a blast). They sound tight and new drummer Ryan Jarrell (formerly of Noosphere) fits like a glove in the rhythm section. They rolled through mostly newer tracks, including “Lost,” “Certain,” and one so new that vocals haven’t been laid down. They even improv-ed a cover of “Lakini’s Juice” by Live, which might reappear at their August show (although I’m pushing for Tool’s “Aenima” as their next cover). Hit up their MySpace and check out newly re-recorded “Home” (formerly entitled “I Fall” and one of my personal faves) - they added edgier guitar riffs and rearranged some parts with the end result sounding incredibly cohesive. Lead singer Lexi Greene proves again in the recording why she’s considered one of the best female leads in the city, exhibiting both restraint and raw emotion at the right times.

The band is playing Bootlegger’s new local music night on Wednesday, June 25th with Evolv and Preston Swift (who are playing their asses off as of late). If you can get up to Woodlyn, you’re sure to have a kickass time. Head will also be playing the Nail in August, but you want to get as much Head as possible this summer… doesn’t everyone??
