Artist History In 1996, John Nelson decided to record a CD of original songs that had been percolating in his brain for some time. That album was "Dancing On The Bomb Bay Doors", which got national airplay and was used in the movie "Friction". The musicians had a great time making the CD and were soon playing around Seattle as Weatherheads. Recently they've released their second record, "Skin Size".

Press Reviews "A lot going on here-some Beatles, some early Who, some jangly indie-rock and even blues and ska. Somehow it all hangs together and rocks like hell. Check out their Sex Pistols-go-to-Motown version of the Beatles "Oh! Darling".
