Woodenhead Plans New Recording

Woodenhead Plans New Recording

- Brett Milano

For the majority of rock bands, the prospect of recording an album’s worth of new material at a live show would be a bit terrifying. For the instrumental prog-fusion band Woodenhead, it’s just virtuosity as usual. Now in its forty-third year, the band doesn’t put out new music very often: The last new album, Perseverance, was back in 2003 (an archival set at Tipitina’s, from 10 years earlier, was released more recently). But on June 15 and 16, they’ll be recording 15 new songs in front of an audience at Chickie Wah Wah, and releasing it (under the auspices of the Threadhead Cultural Foundation) by the end of the year.
