[DID NOT ATTEND: August 14, 2026] Eagles of Death Metal / Mountain Head
I got a kick out of Eagles of Death Metal when they came out. Death By Sexy is a fun album and I enjoy the tongue in cheek nature of the music. I thought about going to the show since they are apparently a great live band.
But I Just really don’t like them enough to justify going and I was a little worried about what kind of audience these guys would attract. I left the night open, in case I decided to grab a last minute ticket. But then the Circle Jerks announced a show for that night and that was the kibosh on EODM.
Who the hell are Mountain Head? Well, their bio says
The enigmatic and reclusive Hannah Brothers stumbled upon a mysterious mountain in the heart of the Canadian wilderness, and what they found at the summit changed their lives forever. A shaman performed a ceremony that unlocked new depths of creativity and inspiration in the brothers, leading them to channel the spirits of Johnny Cash, Flavor Flav, and Billy Gibbons. Dressed in black denim and adorned with solid gold grills and long beards, Mountain Head emerged with a sound that blended psych-rock, alt-rock, and elements of electro-pop and jangle pop into a unique and potent sonic concoction.
The description is okay–they’re a little slower than you might expect, but there’s some psych elements, but mostly they play dumb rock like EODM. A perfect pairing.
