Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle Star Presents Sweethead

.
Sweethead, the new project from Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, Failure), will release their debut self-titled album on May 11th through The End Records. Named after a Bowie B-Side, Sweethead includes Serrina on vocals, Norm Block on drums (Mark Lanegan Band, Plexi) and Eddie Nappi on bass (Mark Lanegan Band, Handsome). Sweethead have also announced that they will be settling into L.A.'s seminal indie-rock venue Spaceland every Monday in May. The residency will kick off May 3rd, with "Night One" being sponsored by infamous satire bloggers Buddyhead, and wraps on May 24th with a "family night" featuring other QOTSA-related acts such as Mini-Mansions, Alain Johannes and a "very special guest." Ashes Divide, Slang Chickens, Earthlings? and Red Fang are among other acts playing alongside the band during the stint. Sweethead's debut contains the slithering rock gem "Traumatized And Dumb," which was previously included on their EP Traumatized and Dumb, which was only released in Europe. From the punk influenced track "Turned Our Backs" to the gritty "City Of Dirt" SWEETHEAD is a potent reminder of the sheer thrills of rock 'n' roll decadence. Venuszine.com is premiering a video for the track "Traumatized And Dumb," which was filmed while the band toured Europe with Eagles of Death Metal and Them Crooked Vultures late last year.
