Severed Heads | NWAP058

Pioneering the use of tape loops and samples in the late 70s and early 80s, Severe Heads forged an innovative career that stretched across three decades.  Retiring in 2010, Severed Heads nonetheless will come together  again this month to play a series of shows with electro-pioneer Gary Numan, and in this episode give what they describe as "their final live to air performance" on New Weird Australia.Over 50 minutes in length, this exclusive Severed Heads set is in two parts – a ‘pop’ set featuring well-known classic tracks from the back catalogue, and a shorter ‘weird’ set, with the band recreating early material with Ableton Live.
