Oct 02, 2008: Dates
After a summer in which all Githead members have played significant shows with their other projects. We can now announce some new Githead dates. The first at the Arnolfini in Bristol is another in our occasional "Art Git" series designed for Musuems, Galleries & other unconventional spaces. The show will followed "gallery style" by an "informal discussion" with music writer Mike Barnes.
Both this and the more conventional club show at Barzilai in Tel Aviv will feature new material following a furious writing spell in August and some "stage 2" recording in Rotterdam in September.
Sept 27, 2008: New Shop
Following the unfortunate demise of Posteverything earlier this year we can now announce that our mail order & digital services are now being handled by the new Githead Mail Order Shop. Currently Art Pop and Profile are available on CD & in digital formats (including lossless FLAC) with Headgit, which is out of stock on CD, is available in digital formats. We expect t-shirts to be added soon. All purchasers of eoither CD album will get a copy of Free Git.
A Swim shop will be launched later this year with a re-vamped website.
May 27, 2008: Art Gits Rule (pt.2)
Those of you who follow the BBC comedy series "Ideal" may have been somewhat surprised to see the character Brian (played by Graham Duff who also writes the series) sporting an "Art Git" t-shirt during the episode broadcast last night (26.05.08). The plot is way too complex to to explain to the unfamiliar but the circumstances of the shirt wearing revolved around the fact that Brian has a new boyfriend (played by Stereonation collaborater Malcom Boyle) who runs a kind of art gallery.
This is in fact not the first Githead reference in "Ideal" as our music has been featured in past episodes. The show, now in it's 4th series, makes a feature of using interesting, non-mainstream music in line with it's creator's ecclectic music taste. It goes without saying that "Ideal" is required viewing at Git HQ!

Githead are: Malka Spigel, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Colin Newman and Max Franken. The band is very new, yet in its short existence Githead has managed to craft a style which is both original yet accessible, combining rhythmic toughness with interweaving guitars, and insistently funky basslines with deadpan vocals. Find out more about the band.
