about

Welcome to the cleansing, hopefully dance-inducing sound of “Holed & Hunkered Re(al)mix.”

The long story, shortened... The veteran new music beast Headless Household, Santa Barbara's strangest and almost longest-running band, was busy making plans for its 10th album in 36-ish years. The concept would have mated the twin themes of blues and the movies, altered to suit the band’s genre-twisting ways.

It was 2020. The world had other plans.

It was time to dance, in our various bunkers. enter the Headless pandemic dance tune “Holed & Hunkered,” created following the new musical plan of having each player/singer fly in tracks from their separate dance bunkers, in Seattle, Los Angeles, Ventura, Portland, and the San Roque area of Santa Barbara. (Charter Householder Dick Dunlap was unable to participate).

In the process of putting together the pieces, our fearless studio wizard/drummer Tom Lackner ran into serious health issues beyond the virus of the moment and could only muster a basic mix--drums and bass (Chris Symer), guitar (Joe Woodard), alto sax (the eminent and fiery David Binney) and Woodard's humble scratch vocal. That initial “lean, mean” was released in 2021.

Cut to now, and a fuller new mix represents the generous ensemble contributions of three actual singers—Shelly Rudolph, Liz Barnitz and Nicole Lvoff—and long-suffering Household member Tom Buckner on tenor sax.

Voila, the long-awaited “Holed & Hunkered Re(al)mix 1.” Consider it a not-so-fond send-off and kiss off to the COVID demon. Please listen up and dance at will.

Listen to what the critics are saying:

“A Covid classic! I hear Zappa, Rufus and Chaka. I really dig the funky groove and the horn lines.”

~Andy Davis (friend of the Household and acclaimed director of The Fugitive, Stony Island, Steal Big Steal Little and many more…)

lyrics

“Holed & Hunkered” (Joe Woodard)

“Chorus:”
Holed up, and hunkered down
How long we gotta’ lug this thing around?
Like worried souls in the lost and found
Holed up, and hunkered down
Holed up, and hunkered down,
How long we gotta’ fear this thing in town,
Like wary souls in the underground
Holed up and hunkered, holed up and hunkered, holed up and hunkered… down

Bridge:
Blind-sided by the blind in charge
Side-spiraled in a world gone viral
A world gone viral
