At long last, the Unfortunate Heads' long-lost first LP, Maritime, has been raised from the depths of the sea and is now available to download exclusively here at UnfortunateHeads.com.  What's more, we're giving it to you for free.  Yes, not a red cent shall be spared on your behalf for this 10-song masterpiece, so head on over to the Maritime page to download it for yourself and hear where it all began. 

After a few shows under the big top, the folks at the Carousel Lounge have offered us a mini-residency on the last Friday of each month.  To return the favor, we'll be going all out with two sets of tunes and tricks that we're not likely (or welcome) to be pulling out of the bag anywhere else.  Sets that may or may not include the following:
Costumes.
Cover sets. 
Live animals. 
Free admission. 

So drop on by.  We'll be hitting the stage a little after 7 and finishing up a couple of hours later.  And as always, bring your cash, because they won't take your filthy Discover Card at the bar.

Here are the next few dates:
April 25th
May 30th

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

A fine fine writeup on the Unfortunate Heads has popped up over at Covert Curiosity. 

An exceprt:
"...the album is a pleasant trip down similar paths that were forged by psychedelic-indie-pop bands such as Elf Power, while the Unfortunate Heads cover new ground with their introspective songwriting and layered multi-instrumentation." Mr. Curiosity, Covert Curiosity
