Artist Biography
Mercurial Detroit-based, electro/space pop outfit Johnny Headband was designed and directed by siblings Chad and Keith Thompson, both of whom began a torrid love affair with multimedia in their early teens. Alternately amiable and steely-eyed, the brothers honed their artistic muscles on a steady diet of home movies, synth pop, Krautrock, disco, new wave, shoegaze, and classic rock, meticulously choreographing dance moves, building a formidable wardrobe, and tirelessly composing songs that skillfully infused the lusty, eyeliner-heavy swagger of early Roxy Music and Berlin-era Bowie with the wild neon abandon of a Factory Records house party. ~ James Christopher Monger
