Artist History
Rooster Head was active in south Florida from about 1991 until 1995 (I think); remnants of Rooster Head remain -- Bob Wlos and Barry McCann regularly record at L-7 under the Trail Dust and Lemmingmen monikers, as well as perform and produce other local bands. They've also been playing with Bandit. Dave Cook is around, too, working on his music at L-7. John Tillman plays in as many bands as he can at once. Mike Chattam pops up every once in a while. Mike Vullo is around here somewhere. Michael Kennedy died of an overdose a few years ago. Pete Moss did the same thing a year later. The music is still great, which is why we're posting everything -- everything -- here. Enjoy. |
