Hope you're up for some Headstocks at The Kicking Horse Grill this Saturday!
"Kicking Horse Grill? What's that?" we hear you ask. Well, once upon a time it was known as The Boxcar. Now under new management, The Kicking Horse aims to be the
live music night spot in lower Fairfield County. Food, fuel, dance floor—yeah, they got it covered. Headstocks are on the case! Check out what's happening next Saturday,
and let us show you good time, whaddaya say? Love to see you! Where: Kicking Horse Grill, 17 Pease Ave., Southport, CT (off Exit 19 of When: Saturday, Nov. 1st Who: "That's Headshtocks. Clahshing

Clashing Headstocks are rolling back down to the Redding Roadhouse this Saturday, March 22nd. The pleasure would be all ours if you could make it down for some good food and good music. Hope to see you there! 1 December 2007 Clashing Headstocks thank all of you who came out to Daniel J's last night for our debut at that venue. Attendees of note included Pat, Lucy, Bernadette, and Sharon; Sally and Gary; Joan and Ed—whom we'd also like to thank for sitting in and rocking out so capably on a couple of our tunes!—Anita and Dave(!); Simon; and Nick L.(!!). We'd also like to thank everyone we met for the first time that night, who had such a great time dancin' and hangin' and hollerin' and made it such a party for us. Hope we see you all again, soon. You're the best! 20 November 2007 At this time, Clashing Headstocks want to wish all of you the happiest of
Thanksgivings. What are we grateful for? So many things: hobby horses . . . electric razors . . . lawn darts . . . cattle prods (don't ask) . . . bank
overdraft notices . . . individually-wrapped cheese slices . . . large, rectangular-shaped boxes . . . geothermal venting . . . the Big Bang . . . and, most importantly, humanity's non-stop need to totally rock!
Seriously, we couldn't do this without you. Most of all we're grateful for all of you who have come out and supported us with your words, your applause, your awesome dance moves—your presence. That's
what the shouting is all about. It means a lot to us, and we thank you. Ah, but time (to paraphrase the poet) is on your side! If you've a mind to, check out our You will not be displeased. 31 October 2007 Whoo-hoo-ooo! . . . Clashing Headstocks are grateful to all of you who came down to the

Joan, Sharon, Carol, Cindy, Doug, Ed, Dave, Jay, Len . . . man, we know we're leaving some of you out, but what we remember—that ain't what it's about—you folks, you folks was great!
Thank you for coming down! And thanks, in particular, to Russ and Charlotte for staying with us throughout their weddiing rehearsal party, and hanging so late into the night, on the eve
of their vows. You folks taught us what it's all about, and we thank you! Having said that, at this moment, we have to extend our congratulations to Pat & Dave
, for tying the knot, and throwing a terrific, musical bash to celebrate the moment. Ask Oh, and before we forget—brain-dead little Headstocks that we am—we
want to invite all of you to join us as we explore the mystery that is (Okay, was that a take? Did we sell it right? I mean, we like these guys,

This is our first appearance at the Saloon as a band, and you would honor us with your presence and show of support.

Come on down for a night of music, dance, and fun! 31 May 2007 Hope you're all revelling in this spring weather. We've got some happenings we'd like to let you know about, and some specifics regarding

Off on the distant horizon lies October. No need to think about it too hard right now, but we would appreciate it if you'd flip your calendar ahead long enough to mark October 5th
as the day the Headstocks will play the first night of their own at the Schedule Members Songlist FAQ Links 16 October 2006 Here's a message from Bill to all of you: Hi all
We'll just add here how great it was for all of us to see Cynthia, Elise, Sally, Cindy, Pat, Sharon, and—of course—Bernadette, too. 9 October 2006 Yep, it's true, we're returning to Red's this Friday, the 13th. And just to
make it more interesting (as if such a thing could be possible!), we'll be sporting as a special guest, from Hat City Blues
(and the occasional post office lobby poster) . . . Ed Pryzby on bass guitar! When Ed heard Sean wouldn't be available for our next date, he
immediately threw his hat in the ring to sub, and we're grateful to him once more (not the least because we have yet another hat, and just see if he ever gets it back, bwah-hah-hah!). We also want to thank
Vince Howley for coming by Red's last time and gracing us with his guitar and vocal talents, as well as all the great folks from Lakeside—Jeff, Jack, Bert, Lucy, and Sean—who added such
wonderful variety to A Night At the Headstock™. Most of all, we want to thank you--the secret ingredient to all the great times we Headstocks get to be part of! 17 August 2006 Well it was just seventeenth! . . . Oh my, we have to tell you, we had a blast last Saturday at St. Greg's
, not the least because of Ed Pryzby, from (Too much gush. Look, stop any one of us on the street and ask us about
it. The man is a hoot an' a holler . . . and plays a mean guitar, as well.) And thanks to all of you who came by to see us carny folk. Carol & Dave,
Sharon & Ann, Bernadette, Pat, Sean & Lucy—Vince!—Russ . . . we know we won't remember all the names, and there will be much gnashing of teeth
over't. And, still the same, we are glad you came. Thank you! This Friday, 18 August, how could you possibly go wrong by checking out Clashing Headstocks at 17 June 2006 Those lovable, squeezable Headstocks would like to thank everyone who came out to Red's Place
last night. It wouldn't have been a party withoutcha! Special thanks go out to Ed Pryzby of Hat City Blues
for lending us his humor and talent. We'll be returning to Red's next month, on Saturday, July 22nd, and we're looking forward to seeing you all there! 20 May 2006 Owing to all of you who came out to
Red's Place four weeks ago, Friday, the 28th, Clashing Headstocks will be returning on Friday, June 16th! We
can't thank you peoples enough for watchoo done: Bob&Mary, Patty, Annie G, Pat, Loo-cee!, Simon & Nancy, Leslie, Peggy, Dave & Carol, Chris . . .
and everyone who placed a foot on the dance floor and moved it around, thank you! We were right there with you. And how 'bout Bobbie C from Kankakee, Edzo P of the highest degree,
Vinnie H from the west of Thrace, Oolong Ron of the Mystic House of Thong? . . . these guys came, they heard, and they joined us and gave us
wonderful things to remember in our ears. They. Got. Hot. If you were there, you know how right it was. (And Sully, next time . . . soon, we hope.)
Ladies, and gentlemen, thank you all. 22 April 2006 Next Friday, the 28th,
Clashing Headstocks are pointing the caravan up to Red's
in New Milford for a night of funk, blues, and straightahead rock'n'roll! We know it's been awhile. Lord knows, it's been too long for us. Some of
you have seen occassional Headstocks blips on the radar during the interim--e.g., Bill's standout drumming with Schedule Members Songlist FAQ Links 12 August 2005
Clashing Headstocks had a terrific time tonight playing the carnival over at St. Gregory the Great Parish in Danbury. We want to thank all the old
friends—and new! (e.g., Denise, Nick)—who showed up and said hi. It's a two-way street, folks, and as much as we love playing, it's vindicating
as all getout when somebody tells us they've enjoyed what we've done. A careless observer might chalk it up to egotism—and be the poorer for that error. We're very clear that that is not what it's about. See, we will do what we do, regardless; we're just wired that way. But when somebody we've never met before comes up and tells us something
like, "I had so much fun listening to you guys, it's so great to hear live music. . . ." That's it, that's the crux, that's the nut for us, right there. 'Cause
it's a thrill and an honor to be able to do this, and the people who get it make us want to do it even better than last time. You people take us higher, and we thank you for that. 14 May 2005 Clashing Headstocks got some nice ink last Friday in the Danbury News-Times.
Ryan Foust conducted a friendly, professional interview, and our heartfelt thanks go out to him for his kind and able assistance in spreading the word about the band!
(If any of you were expecting some inane pun regarding Mr. Foust's name, and diabolical bargains with the media in general, then you really need to get your mind out of the Goethe.) 10 April 2005 Clashing Headstocks will be shakin' it up down at
The Lodge this coming Saturday, the 16th! We had a terrific time playing there in January
and February. With the weather warming, the patio should be open, so you can bask in the spring night while we rock your cares away. We want to thank everyone who came down to the 25 March 2005 Clashing Headstocks have rescheduled our date at The Lodge for May 21st to May 6th. Schedule Members Songlist FAQ Links 10 December 2004 Clashing Headstocks are thrilled—yes, you heard right: thrilled (as Yodo
might put it, "Shameless, you are!")—to announce that we will be playing at the Redding Roadhouse on Friday
, March 25th! We had a wonderfully enjoyable night there last time, and we hope you all can come out and join us while we spark some of that ol' debble Headstocks magic once again.
The food there is terrific, and the cozy ambience is not to be missed. (No need to make any snap decisions. Roll it around in the back of your
mind. Come March, when spring is clawing its way back to life against the vicissitudes of winter, it'll be the Perfect Thing. (Trust us.) 20 November 2004 We know it's been awhile since this page has been updated, but never fear—we've got some performances lined up for 2005.

Just a quick note to let you all know Clashing Headstocks will be playing a 7:30 p.m. set this Friday at the Hat City Celebration and Carnival, sponsored by St. Peter's Church, located on the corner of Main St. and
Center Street in downtown Danbury. The carnival is being held on Center Street proper (directly across Main from Danbury Police Headquarters), with both ends of the street blocked off to traffic.
Grab the kids and come on down. There are rides, food, and entertainment for the whole family. As a bonus, when our set is done, 1 May 2004 We had a terrific time last night and we thank all of you who came down to Mario's! We also want to thank John Sullivan for joining us for some

Woody from Ol'Scool—who hung out with us to the closing bell. Our thanks to everyone
for coming! Next week on Saturday, May 8th, the Headstocks will be making our first appearance ever down at the 15 April 2004 So just to make sure we've been completely clear about this: Clashing Headstocks are not
playing at Mario's on April 24th . . . but we are playing in that very place on Friday, April 30th. Okay, okay, we're overdoing it, we
know. But we don't want anyone to get caught out by the date change, so we'll gladly take the hit for overemphasis. Just a short haul down the road the following weekend, on Saturday, 8 April 2004 So you say the month of April just ain't what it should be without a dose of Headstocks? (C'mon, humor us, just nod.)
Friday, April 30th, Clashing Headstocks will mount the stage (in a caring, respectful way) down at Mario's Cafe
—at 127 Park Avenue in Danbury, CT—where fun and frolic and the inevitable wackiness will summarily ensue. Mark your calendars! Alert your babysitters! And keep watching the skies!
6 April 2004 This is a quick note to let you all know that Clashing Headstocks will not be playing at
Mario's on the 24th. A recent change in the musical format at the venue has now designated Saturday night at Mario's as "Brazilian Night." Return thy browser hither to
What's New in a day or two for info on our rescheduling at Mario's. (Hm. Sounds like a cheesy, misguided title for a horror sequel . . . Headstocks: The Rescheduling.) That's right,

We also want to thank Vince Howley for loaning us his talents on guitar and voice, and Doug Wahlberg and George Miller of Party Boss Band for helping out with toothsome guitar sounds and some mighty tasty bass! And our special thanks go out to guest vocalist, guitarist, and good friend, Bruce Tibbitts , for placing his headstock at risk the entire night and giving his all to the Headstocks' call. Thank you, Bruce! 7 January 2004
Wow, it's going to take us a little while to get use to that newly incremented digit—but we'll break it in by declaring here that we'll be back at Mario's
again on Saturday, January 31st, with special guest Bruce Tibbitts joining us for the night! While perhaps that date doesn't carry quite the
same celebratory cachet as the previous month's, come on down, and we'll all welcome in the new month together! Speaking of which, thanks to all of you who came down to see us at Schedule Members Songlist FAQ Links 22 December 2003
Were you there? At Mario's, Friday night? If you were, thanks for coming! If you weren't, you missed a terrific time, and some awesome guests: Jay Willie from Gutter Boogie Band joined us on guitar for a couple of
tunes—and had us seriously thinkin' the fire marshal was going to close the place down, he was that hot! Ed Pryzby of
Hat City Blues Band, and George Miller of Party Boss Band and Shoo Fly Blues also joined us
for a few tunes, and those guys had the jernt totally rockin'! Jay, Ed, George . . . thank you, guys, for the early Christmas presents! And special thanks go out to Sharon, Ann, Joan, and

well not believe in rock 'n' roll!) The Headstocks are still getting it done, putting together new tunes and having more fun than ever doing it. Presently, we're scheduled to play the A final, cautionary note: with all the beautiful fall foliage surrendering to
these pelting, seasonal rains, we hope all of you exercise a little extra care out there as you motor the autumnal roadways. Wet leaves on asphalt can
play havoc with friction coefficients—even moreso when you're relying on two wheels instead of four. Keep it safe, folks, and keep on rocking: Headstocks'll be sure to keep you covered there! 27 August 2003 Just a neighborly note: Bill and Sean will be riding shotgun when Cinnamon Sky takes the stage down at the

Hey, okay, sure, it's been a little while. . . . We could regale you with the moving tale of a mortally wounded operating system, of obstinate software,

All our thanks go out to those of you who came down to the Classic Rock Brew Pub last Thursday! You're the ones that made it such a good time for

Bob Willaum (from Just Visiting), John Sullivan ("Sully!"), Bruce Tibbitts (from Jamnesia), and Dave Lott for
sitting in with us during the night, and spicing the Headstocks' stew with their own unique, musical flavors. And a special Headstocks hoorah goes out to Dave Houlbrooke

Thanks to all the great folks in SFF Net IRC for the eyetime, and their helpful observations on the layout. 22 August 2000 The Casino gig was a blast! Our thanks to Al, and all our new friends up in Huletts, for making our very first road trip a memorable delight. We'll get some pictures up on the site as soon as we convince Sean (and his camera) to come back down. Watch this space! 18 August 2000 You're absolutely right, it's been quiet out here . . . too quiet. Our Classic Rock Brew Pub appearance on July 12th
was well received, and we thank each and every one of you who made it down there for your continued support. It really keeps us going! Over the last few months, we've done some short sets at
Luigi's Nightlife Cafe on Main Street in Danbury, CT, breaking new tunes into the repertoire. Our thanks to Kathy and Gino for keeping the Monday night open mic going, and especially to
Bruce Tibbitts for doing such a great job of hosting. Yeah, Monday . . . it makes for some tough Tuesday mornings, but the musical vibe there always more than makes up for any
minor sleep deprivation. Check it out if you can! And most recently: this isn't a whole heckuva lot of warning, here, but if you find yourself at loose ends tomorrow night, the 19th
, in the vicinity of Lake George, Headstocks will be there for you! Drop by the Home Members FAQ Songlist Links 12 December 1999 There's a group photo on the Members page, now . . . and our psychotic webmaster skipped his meds and spawned a new Photos page instead, which we'll continue adding to as time and good taste permit. 27 November 1999
Hope you've all recovered from the obligatory post-Thanksgiving torpor . . . and a hearty Headstocks "Thank you!" to all of you who made it over to the Brew Pub on the 17th
— we couldn't have done it without you! New photos are on the way! Check back on our 31 October 1999 Well, you've reset all your clocks, and you've got the perfect Halloween costume picked out. Not much to look forward to after tonight's party, I
guess, except that long, chilly slide toward the winter holidays . . . It shall not be so! Help the Headstocks stave off those impending winter doldrums at the Classic Rock Brew Pub on
Wednesday, November 17th, when we kick off the evening's open mike at 9 PM. Come hear what we've been up to since July! For detailed directions to the venue,
2 October 1999 If you're reading this, you've already found your way to the relocated Web site with its new URL (which now at least vaguely relates to who we are). We've given the pages the once over, including the addition of a spankin' new e-mail account. Check out the site and let us know what you think! 10 August 1999 What?! You weren't part of that wonderful crowd that greeted our open-mike debut at the Classic Rock Brew Pub on 21 July? All we can say is, you missed a kick-ass party! If you'd like a few glimpses of what transpired, hie ye hence to Taibhse's Land of Shadows for some pictures—courtesy of the Headstocks' mysterious Official Photographer and fiercely loyal techno-wraith. 22 July 1999 Dave, Sean, and Bob are all bangin' our heads for joy as we welcome drummer Bill Fedorko into the Headstocks fold! Bill's got a keen, studious ear, two steady hands, and a strong right foot on the kick that boots us into the groove every time. After five rehearsals together, we can't stop sailing on the endorphin rush! (This, my fren, is the real deal!) Señor Dieciséis , we love ya . . . drop us a card when you find work, we'll do lunch. Ciao, baby! Home Members FAQ Songlist Links
