April All Summer

New Page. New Album.

Our new LP April All Summer is now available for purchase as a digital download from the new Albums/mp3 page. It won't be available in any physical form for a month or so, but we're too excited about it to keep it to ourselves any longer. Head on over and hear what we've been all giddy about lately.

Hole in the Wall. Heads on the Radio.

The folks with an ear to their transistors may have heard this little gem this morning, but for those who missed it, KUT ran a promo for our show this evening at the Hole in the Wall.  Listen up and come on down.  Hells yeah.

U-Heads on Austinist - August 24, 2007

Yip Yip! The Unfortunate Heads have been featured as a "band to watch" by Austinist.

An excerpt:
"What’s the Deal: The Austin indie folk fivesome has just released their sophomore disc, Come Be Light. Featuring multi-instrumentation by the likes of banjo, keyboards, upright bass and theremin all layered over reliable acoustic chords, the group manages a sound that’s familiar with flare. Their last album was darker, more downtrodden, but this one has so many styles and themes swirling that dizziness should be more of a pressing concern..." - William Mills, Austinist
