Recorded in 2009, "Brighthead" is my first studio album. Enjoy! :) P.S. - This album is dedicated to Allison Needham. She was my boss from 2008 to 2009. She helped me get the overtime and the promotions I needed to fund the recording of this album. She always had time to listen, or to have a chat about whatever I wanted to talk about, in her stylishly decorated office. She lived in New York City during the 80's and 90's, and would talk about dancing at clubs like the Saint with all of her gay friends, and all of the cool music they'd introduce her to. She introduced me to one of my favorite songs ever, Freddie Mercury's "I Was Born To Love You". She said that when they played that at The Saint, all of the partygoers would applaud it, in honor of Freddie. She passed away from cancer right before Christmas, in 2009. She is sorely missed by many, myself included. This album is for her. She helped me do it. credits released 01 August 2011 Kurt Riley - lead/background vocals electric and acoustic rhythm/lead/slide guitars castanets/tambourine/maracas/stomping synthesizer piano harmonica concept/logo design writer/arranger Boots - background vocals/spoken word electric and acoustic rhythm/lead guitars bass guitar tambourine synthesizer engineering/arranging Jeff Rose - drums/percussion background vocals Steve Cruz - engineering/mixing/arranging/cups of coffee and hospitality Earl Bennett - mastering services Thomas Henry Mitchell - graphic design Alex Vanderkooy - photography Billy Chadwick - photography/videography/video editing/moral support The Brighthead live band was - Amir Sultan Roth - drums/percussion/harmonica/vocals/muscles.
