Songs: 1967 / Carnival. An interesting, short article with interview transcript from an interview with John and Mick from 1999. A nice piece I found about Mick’s Farida made guitar. “I fell in love with the sound and look of this guitar instantly, I’ve called mine Marilyn on account of her beautiful curves” Indie pioneer Michael Head formed Shack after the demise of his cult ‘80’s band The Pale Fountains, and has since influenced a whole generation of musicians with his song-writing style. NME called Mick ‘a lost genius, one of the finest songwriters of his generation’, and Shack are still a band very much in demand, currently signed to Noel Gallagher’s Sour Mash record label. Their latest release, ‘Time Machine – The Best of Shack,’ is a timely career retrospective. Great news spotted over at www.shacktheband.com John Head plays the Liverpool Summer Pops Festival Live and Un-Plugged @ The Bluecoat on the 9th July, support from Danny Jonnes. Mick Head plays the Liverpool Summer Pops Festival Live and Un-Plugged @ The Bluecoat on the 31st July, support from Eva Petersen.
