Despite the somewhat controversial name TCH has made for themselves, there is no denying the talent and captivating energy that radiates from them in person and on stage. It was by some twist of luck that I found myself introduced to TCH’s lead vocalist and guitar player, Tony Italiano, soon to be followed by fellow members Danny Lester (bass) and Kyle Carroll (drums) all asking the same question, “Are shows here always like this?” I may not remember exactly what I said, but it has always been hard building a defense for Birmingham’s music scene while looking into the face of a dead venue. The Colossal Heads was unfortunately given a bad first impression that left “a bitter taste” in everyone’s mouth, but I offered every redeeming quality that I could, thinking “There’s got to be something better than this,” and I was fortunate enough to convince them that the Birmingham I know, love, and live in was worth that second chance. That the Birmingham I knew offered a “better” that everyone was striving for. For so long I wondered how I could find this “better” and share that with hard-working bands such as TCH, and meeting incredibly talented individuals like Aaron Greene, owner of Birmingham’s Syndicate Lounge, has helped to put me one step closer to that. What was a previous show with all but two guests at the less-than-popular venue, suddenly grew to be a show of about thirty-two. Not as big as I was reaching for, but definitely a step towards the right direction. That night at The Syndicate Lounge I witnessed one of the best crowd reactions there that I had seen in quite some time. Musically, their sound is an undeniable art that is treated as such and incomparable to any other band I’ve heard thus far, drawing inspiration from various artists such as Oasis, My Morning Jacket, and The Strokes among many others to create the unique sound that is The Colossal Heads’ very own. The two days TCH had revisiting Birmingham were two days I struggled with personally due to completely unrelated circumstances, but through that they continued to show their unwavering friendship and patience as I struggled to maintain the level of professionalism I like to hold. But, despite those events, The Colossal Heads, Olyvia Kirk, and the amazing team at The Syndicate Lounge managed to be the glue that held me together. It’s hard to see people for who they really are when often they’re hidden behind walls of intoxicants, aggressive music, and public personas, but behind all of that I’ve been given some of the best relationship advice I could ever ask for, simple acts affection when I though nobody wanted to touch me, and stories I will forever cherish. The Colossal Heads is not just a band, The Syndicate Lounge is not just some venue in some city, and I am not just some young unknown writer, even though we all too often feel like we are “just” those exact things. We are people with meaning…meaningful histories and meaningful aspirations living and traveling in places and cities that people have shed blood and tears for. I, sometimes all too often, write on how I have found home in the music industry, but I can’t seem to say it enough. I love what I do and the people I work with, and I’m looking forward to building stronger shows and relationships based from that love. Tony, Kyle, Danny…you all know how to contact me, and if you ever need me, I’ll be there just as you all have been and I’m counting down the days to when you’ll be back.</span><br><br><strong><span style="color:#000000;">-Summer</span>.</strong></p></header>

The focus of the industry, especially for rock music, is a little diverted in everything. Radio seems to be getting worse and worse, which is no shock to anyone, we just have to do our part to fix that [by] writing very honestly and with high energy.</p>

And as a touring band that’s something you have to deal with all too often. When you show up to a place with no flyers, no radio promotion, and with the other bands we hope that they bring whatever fans that they have…and it’s just a combination of things. I’m glad we came back. We were at The Syndicate Lounge last night. Very, very, cool place.</p>

I mean, for the most part, it’s brass and that native New Orleans music that kind of gets the pickin’s around the city.</p>

As far as traveling and going different places, going out west- it felt really nice going out west because there was a lot of really talented bands that we ended up playing with in the same genre as us, and that’s reassuring that there’s still people out there still trying to do something real and [trying to] get rock music out.</p>

And I’ve said this before, I don’t have any hatred or malice against brass music, jazz, funk, or any of that traditional stuff. But, being in a rock band in that situation, especially an original rock band, that can go one of two very different ways. [You] can stick out and get noticed because you are so different, or you can be completely unaccepted. I feel like one has slowly turned into the other because we have been doing very well in New Orleans this last year, its been killer, and getting people just to pay attention and to see what you’re all about seems to be an art itself on top of your music.</p>

We’ve played multiple shows where the promoters or people that just put the shows together get asked “Where did you find these guys?” Every song sounds like something different with different influences in each song that we play on the album. As much of our live sound will be in this album, or as much as we could, because that’s when we’re most dominant, is when we perform. People that liked our EP and that enjoy seeing us live are not going to be disappointed at all because we’re making sure that everything is perfect before we release it.</p>

I’ve always said that you never truly know someone until you live with them, same antithetic. But also, like I said, the rate at which we write good music seems to escalate the more we’re together and adding anyone else into that pot would kind of hinder us at this point. And, another thing is, it doesn’t seem necessary right now. I don’t know what we would truly gain by adding another person.</p>

A lot of it depends on where we’re going, first of all, in some towns it’s like we haven’t done enough research to even try and play [there]. It may just not be the right time, or there may just not be a scene there, really, or none there will have that interest in music. But that’s what touring is all about, it’s this giant trial and error. It’s been a real eye-opener. There are some city’s I thought would be a lot better than others, and you’ll get big surprises. That’s what I’ve gained from this tour, what to do and what not to do.</p>

Musically, it came together with a whole structure. We record every practice that we have, so we’ll come up with something and be like “All right, cool!” They’re actually really good at remembering what they do in the middle of jams and stuff like that so we can just put it on the back burner.

I’m a big fan of a metaphor because A, It opens up my writing to a lot of intricate word play and B, I mean, anybody can just say something, but I try to say it in a way that racks people’s brains a little bit.</p>

There’s a seemingly endless supply of talented musicians with equally enthusiastic supporters, but somehow in the mix, it turns into this fight like pulling a tooth out of a tigers mouth to get people to come out to a show! I can’t begin to tell you about the wonderful memories and even more wonderful relationships that have blossomed from showing up to a $5 show of mostly of bands I’ve never heard before, and I probably will never be able to wrap my head around why someone wouldn’t spend $5-7 in order to hear raw, heartfelt, music like I heard tonight.</span></strong></span></strong></div>
<p><span style="color: rgb(71, 71, 71); font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 31.5px;">Previous to this night at The High Note I had never heard of The Colossal Heads, a three piece punk/grunge band from New Orleans, but when they began to play the entire room was captivated. Mind you, I came to the show with every intention of simply being able to sit back and take it all in for what it was, but that was before the realization of how strong of a group this was and that I’d always be kicking myself if I let them slip through my fingers. So, as “unprepared” as I may have been, I somehow managed to get them to stay with me for a short interview before everyone called it a night. Much thanks to my wing-man of the night, Rachel Thornton, with the iPhone that saved me and the interview. Like I said, I was unprepared, but my stubborn ass wasn’t about to settle for any other interview other than the old fashioned face-to-face way of doing things, something SMF Live has yet to compromise.</span></p>

New Orleans is kinda give and take, everybody knows everybody, it’s a small city. Me and Danny had played in a band a year or two prior to this one for a very brief time called Grenade Man, a band he had started, and I had come in playing bass and I did some guitar but our heads were just in different places so it really didn’t work. I met Kyle through a bar owner I knew from this place called Banks Street Bar. We had tried to get something off of the ground with the owner, but it didn’t work out. Again everyone’s head wasn’t in the right place. But fate, so to speak, brought us back together in one band.</p>

Ever since then I said “Fuck it, I need to play music.” So I had a guitar and I learned all of John Fruscianti’s parts from Chili Peppers and built my own sound out of that. I taught myself how to play so I can’t read a shit lick of music. I think all of us are self taught honestly-</p>

I can still read it, but if you can’t read drum music then you can’t read anything else! Drum music if the easiest to read out there. I used to sit in my room and play a bunch of upbeat punk music but later I tried to throw some finesse in there once I got older and started listening to some funk music.</p>

We were on the stage and during our last song Tony goes like he’s about to start taking his pants off. He pulled his belt off and started beating his guitar with it! That was memorable because nobody knew what he was going to do! The crowd stood there in awe because they probably thought he was about to pull out his junk or take a crap on the floor. It worked out for the best though, he just started beating up his guitar.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; text-align: center;"><br><em><strong><span class="font_regular">Mission Statement for the United Saints:</span></strong></em></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"><br>We are a grassroots, volunteer-based nonprofit organization working to help restore the homes and hearts of communities affected by natural disasters. Our roots are in New Orleans, in the heart of Central City.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;">The mission of the United Saints Recovery Project is to assist communities that have suffered damage from natural disasters, helping residents return home, improve their quality of life and strengthen their communities. We do this with the help of local, national, and international volunteers, assisting homeowners in rehabilitating and rebuilding their homes, and engaging those homeowners in our effort to promote volunteerism within the community.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;">United Saints also hosts a community art program in New Orleans, involving local artists and community members in an effort to beautify and directly improve their environment. United Saints is a 501(c)(3) organization.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;">Formed in 2007 in New Orleans, the United Saints was born out of a need for assistance following the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans with a devastating blow, one from which the city is still recovering. The housing needs of many residents , especially in the poorer neighborhoods, remain unmet.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;">By providing economically disadvantaged residents with resources and encouragement, we can restore a sense of community pride. As volunteers, we grow personally through the experience of caring, and the giving of our hands and our hearts.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; -webkit-transform-origin: left top 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px;">The United Saints is also working to assist homeowners in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and surrounding areas after a mile-wide tornado struck the region in April 2011. In the aftermath of the storms, the United Saints were able to mobilize a team of emergency relief volunteers and were actively providing services in the most crucial time of need. As a result of the impact of our organization and the collective efforts of the community, the United Saints established a satellite office in the city of Tuscaloosa to continue to lead volunteers in rebuilding efforts and strengthen our partnerships with local organizations.</p>

A recent performance at uptown venue The Willow showcased an intense, sweat-streaked style and powerful original compositions that were at once compelling, eerie, and melodic.

<p class="p2"><span class="font_large">As the smoke clears and the past is slowly erased, one thing is certain...things may never be the same again. Artifacts that were once priceless are reduced to disposable goods. Church and state reach the ultimate stalemate, and architecture seized to amaze as technology itself digs the early graves. These are trying times to say the least, and days this dull beg for heroes.</span></p>
<p class="p3"> </p>
<p class="p2"><span class="font_large">Not all heroes wear masks, however. Not all heroes have super strength, comic books, or even alter egos. In fact, some heroes have one thing, and one thing only: <strong>Passion</strong>. Passion for creativity, passion for art, and most importantly, passion to make a change. </span></p>
<p class="p3"> </p>
<p class="p2"><span class="font_large">Enter The Colossal Heads. This rock trio based in New Orleans, Louisiana (not your typical home plate for a sonic uprising mind you) find themselves at home against the current. In a world where lights and camera are king, this group of musicians is all about action. Honest, loud, and in tune (mostly), every Colossal Head show is a signal flaire to bring the people back to good via intelligent lyrics, urgent musical delivery, and enough energy to power the future of art itself. The art of heroes. </span></p>
<p class="p3"> </p>
<p class="p2"><span class="font_large">With Tony Italiano on guitar and vocal delivery, ideas and emotions are conveyed through a hungry audience with the help of a dynamic and dangerous rhythm section of Danny Lester on bass guitar and Kyle Carroll on drums. Organic, no batteries required, rock music.</span></p>

It is a holiday like no other. A time when all people here in New Orleans take on a different role than their everyday, traditional character. Whether your choice is to be sexy, scary, funny, or ironic, Halloween brings out the creativity in most and allows a slight look into peoples thoughts. As usual, Voodoo Music Fest falls on Halloween, and many other rather expensive, live events throughout our city. The last act on Friday is Outkast who ends at 11 PM...which brings me to point of this post: </span><br> <div style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><span class="font_xl"><strong>VOODOOFEST AFTER PARTY<br><br>FREE COVER<br><br>HALLOWEEN NIGHT at<br><br>BANKS STREET BAR in MIDCITY!<br><br>There will be a<br>COSTUME CONTEST<br><br>& ROCK SHOW<br>ft.<br><br>THE COLOSSAL HEADS<br>+<br>SKIES GONE MAD</strong></span></span></div>

<strong><span class="font_xl">Last Saturday @Banks St Bar was one <em>HELL</em> of a show! </span></strong><br><br><span class="font_large">First of all, I'd like to thank all those that came out. It made us all feel great to see the support of Punk Rock and the message we are trying to send to people. This show marks the beginning of a journey we are taking for the better of our society, and for the world. In the past we could not understand why no one truly cared about the music and our voice. Discussion after discussion left us lost in our reality of radio pop songs and sugar infested diets. Then it hit us like a ton of bricks...</span><br><br><span class="font_large"><span class="font_xl"><em><strong>WHY</strong></em> is society the way it is?<br><em><strong>WHY</strong></em> are people sleeping through their lives?<br><em><strong>WHY</strong></em> are we all slaves to the media and living in a <em>falseness</em> of Freedom?</span><br><br>It is because our country wants it that way...constantly pouring fear in you while you go about your routines so that we don't WAKE UP and see the big picture. Look, we LOVE the USA. Love it so much we are willing to be the voice and say what needs to be said. Love it SO MUCH that we understand what is happening to us in this day and age is unconstitutional and unlawful. We want you to just check the facts so you can see what we see. False flag operations that lead to war where our sons and daughters are put on the battlefield to die for WEALTH and MATERIALS should be unacceptable. Yet, time after time do we allow the media to enrage our minds toward a "threat" of terrorism that we must engage. I am sick of war, I am sick of hearing manufactured lies, and I am sick of living day to day in a society that revolves around my broke ass having to pay the man to live my life.<br><br>We, the people, need to realize money is a material thing. A material thing that we all "live" to accumulate. How many people live in this routine: wake up, "3 S's" (shit/shower/shave), go to work while listening to shitty radio, home, tv, then sleep with a few meals in between. This was not the life God meant for us. We are all part of the universe, and all meant to better one another in order to benefit society as a whole!<br>I know you've probably been feeling weird as if there is a certain type of internal struggle within yourself lately...it is because we are moving into the Age of Aquarius where our true selves are pushing and forcing their way out! This has been told to be the Age of Enlightenment. An age of health, love, and true awakening within ourselves.</span><br><br><strong><span class="font_xl"><span class="font_large">IF NO ONE ELSE WILL LEAD, WE <em>PROUDLY</em> DO SO!</span></span></strong><br><br><span class="font_large"><em><strong>NO</strong></em> more TV. <em><strong>NO</strong></em> more poppy crap blaring on repeat from our radios. <em><strong>NO</strong></em> more <strong><span class="font_large">FEAR</span></strong>.<br>I, for one, am SO tired of hearing people tell me there is nothing I can do about the lies and wars that are being created to make the rich richer and keep the poor/middle class (because they are now the same category) in slavery. </span><br><br><span class="font_xl">It all starts with a voice.<br>TCH will be that voice.<br>The Punk Rock Revival is imminent.</span><br><br> </div>

<em><strong><span class="font_large">"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from the heaven to the soul."</span></strong></em><br> </div>
<div><span class="font_regular">First of all, this is not a political rant; these are words coming from my heart. It is hard for all of us (Tony, Kyle and I) to express our music through words, but this is an attempt for me to try to get you to understand why we do it. I know many people will ignore this post, and I also know many people will judge me for being real...and if you are one of those people...well then fuck you. The blindness in our society has struck a nerve, and this post has become a necessary one. The words that follow define who we are. Legends like Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, The Ramones, (and many others) have DIED to preserve this idea of love and individuality and it's time someone speaks up about the reality of OUR reality. </span></div><br><span class="font_regular">My name is Danny Lester, and I am a broke musician. I work almost every night waiting tables for little money, even though I have a college degree, so that I can travel to bring something new, pure and original into this world that I feel has been almost completely lost and forgotten in our generation. I have a responsibility to the brave men and women of history to keep this idea alive. I would rather be broke for the rest of my life just to have this message reach a few people who truly understand it.<br><br>The Colossal Heads = An electric guitar, a bass, a set of drums, and a <strong><em>voice</em></strong>. Our performances consist of 3 mother fuckers who wear their hearts on their sleeves and give their souls away to the people for an hour and a half at every single show, whether there is 5 people or 5,000. No laptops. Every experience is different and never is any one song played the same. Somewhere along the path between our generation and past generations, the world as whole lost something great. It lost its ability to speak. It lost its ability to hear. It lost its ability to act. But worst of all, it lost its individuality. Music is so influential on the brain that the type you listen to actually has the ability to change the way you think and look at the world...<br><br>Think about that for a second. <br><br><span style="text-align: center;">Take some time to observe your surroundings. </span>Feel the energy being absorbed into your body right now. Whether you are in the air conditioning or outside in the heat (or cold), just take a second to reflect on all that you have done in your life that has brought you to your current place in time. Everyone's life is guided by the music they listened to at different points in their lives. All of those pictures of your past have a soundtrack that brings you back. Whether the memories are good or bad, music was there to jack you up, calm you down, or live in a moment of genuine love. Since the beginning of time music has been a way for everyone to silently bond and to connect to one another without saying ONE word. I know every person has had a time in their life where they have felt an overwhelming sense of happiness from a song that grabs their heart. A new song that a friend introduces you to has the ability to actually affect your energy inside of you. This euphoria is <strong><em>love</em></strong>. A wise person said,</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br><span class="font_large"><em> <strong>"It is not the Love that hurts. It is the pain from a broken heart, and the emptiness from being alone that hurts. Feeling love is the best and happiest feeling anyone can experience in the world." </strong></em></span>
</div><br>If you understand anything from this, understand that we love you so much that we <em><strong>live </strong></em>to give ourselves completely to you. We were born for it. We write our music day after day and try to reach out to people not because we want FUCKING FAME! But because we want you, the people, to feel what is in our hearts.<br><br>I believe we can all help this generation make a "<strong>right turn</strong>" for a change<i>, </i>and to stop following all the wrong ones. <br><br>Danny<br><strong>The Colossal Heads</strong><br><br><br><br> The Colossal Headstag:thecolossalheads.com,2005:Post/30964602014-07-24T14:59:37-05:002014-07-24T14:59:37-05:00A New Era for The Colossal Heads<span class="font_xl">We would like to thank Scott and Heather LeBlanc for their help through the last 6 months, but Tony, Kyle, and I have come to a mutual decision to leave Lonestar Bayou Entertainment.

Life is all about taking risks for the sake of experience...if you don't risk portraying who you truely are then nothing matters.<br>People will label you. People will cast you out. They will mock or ridicule you, and show their true "friendship" towards you.<br>It is time to rise above all of the "labels" and "fear" and become who you were put on this earth to be...a change.<br>People want change but do not want to BE the change. You have to take a look on your life and realize that you are supposed to effect others...and how you affect them relies purely on your ACTIONS.<br>Say what you feel.<br>Portray who you are...and become who you are meant to be.<br>Life is not about changing yourself--it is about CREATING yourself.<br><br>-<em>Danny Lester </em>The Colossal Headstag:thecolossalheads.com,2005:Post/29793462014-05-29T11:28:05-05:002017-01-15T17:56:32-06:00Photos from our Wednesday's at the Square Performance <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/a1857e489fc17f1a26ad27045153f1a0e7fabea5/original/ylc-square-crowd.jpg?1399408787" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/af409898c48d53f76b107cec89982d181ad6fce4/medium/fbsquarepost.jpg?1401380619" class="size_m justify_none border_none" alt="" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/c24f7142296d8d82f3ee5235acda5cdc3a06eedd/large/squareflier.jpg?1401380661" class="size_l justify_none border_none" alt="" /><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/e20ba08ca20d357c25c3cfee1e6badfbb02ebc91/original/squaretony.jpg?1401380729" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/7d4bdc105c94506799d1b8fd1f8a3adf4b8b2ce7/original/squaredanny.jpg?1401380800" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/701c57386d48f6a2b9e8d1122696f92a7943df76/original/squarealll1.jpg?1401384808" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/109074/2d2d6d4f6886db2809ea7fe9ef8e39e83abaf845/original/squarealll2.jpg?1401734062" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br> The Colossal Headstag:thecolossalheads.com,2005:Post/29793092014-05-29T11:12:45-05:002014-05-29T11:17:34-05:00Happy Memorial Day.

<span style="font-size: medium; "></span><span style="font-size: medium; "> "A band full of talent and potential is sure to impress audiences with their sound and style..."<br>
"This band is a product of ideas and dreams that have come together to create a masterpiece of sound. The Colossal Heads strive to re-invent Rock music and bring it back to a time before it was lost in the past 5 decades. They have successfully created the sound of pure and passionate Rock N Roll..."<br>
"Taking rock back to its roots, The Colossal Heads are the next big thing in music. Beyond the bounds of traditional artistry, they will keep you on edge from start to finish with their eerie, yet beautiful guitar tones, powerful drum performance, and intense bass swells. Oh and did I mention they can sing, too? After seeing one show form these guys you can tell they love what they do, and they are damn good at doing it."</span><span style="font-size: medium; "><br></span>
