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.
Cobra Starship was an American pop band created by former Midtown bassist and lead vocalist Gabe
Saporta in 2003 in New York City. Other members were guitarist Ryland Blackinton, bassist Alex Suarez,
drummer Nate Novarro, and keytarist Victoria Asher, all of whom provided backing vocals.
The group released their debut album, While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets in 2006, which they
followed with Β‘Viva la Cobra! in 2007. They then released Hot Mess in 2009.
The group is perhaps best known for their singles "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", "Good Girls Go Bad
(feat. Leighton Meester)", and You Make Me Feel... (feat. Sabi).
The Essex was an American R&B vocal group formed in 1962. They are best known for their 1963 song "Easier Said Than Done".
Founding members Walter Vickers (guitar) and Rodney Taylor (drums) were members of the United States
Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa, Japan. After being transferred to Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, they
enlisted fellow Marines Billy Hill (aka Billy Proctor) and Rudolph Johnson as group members. Next they added
a female lead singer, Anita Humes, another Marine.
The band was signed to a recording contract in 1963 after submitting a demo to Roulette Records. "Easier Said
Than Done" was written by Larry Huff and William Linton. Released as the B side of their first single, the song
reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track sold over one million records and received a gold
disc award from the R.I.A.A. "Easier Said Than Done" charted at No. 41 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1963.
Rudolph Johnson left the group, and the Essex became a quartet. Three months after "Easier Said Than Done"
reached No. 1 in July 1963, the group had a No. 12 Billboard hit with the follow-up song, "A Walkin' Miracle" in
September 1963. On the label of this single, the group name appeared as 'The Essex Featuring Anita Humes.'
"She's Got Everything", their next single, written by Jimmy Radcliffe and Oramay Diamond, was a Billboard
No. 56 hit. Being Marines made it hard for the group to take advantage of their hits; for example, before long,
Johnson was posted to Okinawa.
Rodney Taylor was killed in 1966 in New York City during an attempted mugging. He was buried at Oak Hill
Cemetery in Gary, Indiana. All of his former bandmates attended his funeral.
Humes released several solo singles for Roulette, but had no chart success. She died on May 30, 2010, in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, aged 69. In the 1970s, Hill headed up a group called the Courtship.
Gorillaz is a British virtual band created in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett.
Canonically speaking, Murdoc Niccals formed the band. The band currently consists of four animated
members: 2-D (lead vocals, keyboards), Noodle (guitar, vocals), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), and
Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion).
Their fictional universe is explored through animated music videos, interviews, and animated shorts.
In reality, Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor, and often collaborates with other musicians.
The roots of Gorillaz can be traced back to 1990, when guitarist Graham Coxon asked cartoonist Jamie
Hewlett to interview his newly formed band, Blur.
