Village People​

Village People is a Disco band that formed New York City, New York, United States in 1977.

The group is well known for their outrageous on-stage costumes (the members dressing up as a police
officer, an American Indian chief, a construction worker, a soldier, a leatherman (biker) and a cowboy)
as for their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics.

The band was assembled in 1977 and managed by two French musicians, Jacques Morali and Henri
Belolo, specifically to showcase and perform their disco music creations. Much like Frank Farian's Boney
M. or Spice Girls, the group was manufactured. Despite the French song writers, the songs were all in
English.

American Head Charge​

American Head Charge, the Minneapolis-based metal band, which had its genesis when Cameron Heacock
and Chad Hanks crossed paths in a Minnesota rehab facility in 1997, has up to now been known primarily
for the radically dysfunctional behavior of the band members. "We were definitely out of control on our
first tour, Ozzfest 2001," Mr. Banks admits. "It wasn't enough to just play our music; we also had to fire
shotguns on stage and throw pigheads at the crowd. Chalk it up to a desperate bid for attention."

The Head Charge rap sheet - which also includes getting into bloody brawls with their fans, smashing
equipment they couldn't afford to replace, reacquainting themselves with hard drugs and occasionally
being locked up by the enraged fuzz - has served to obscure the fact that these free spirits play the shit
out of their instruments and make brutally powerful music of uncommon distinction.
