ADRIAN SHAW "Headcleaner" (UK, 1999)



NICK & ADRIAN same-old-game pioneers

Remaining in the shade of a back stage existance as a session musician for such legends as HAWKIND, CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN, DEVIANTS, THE BEVIS FROND & others... ADRIAN SHAW (born 1947), cult figure involved with psych situation since 60`s, found shelter by the side of Nick Saloman(THE BEVIS FROND) and his Woronzow records where he finally unfolded his own autonomous path, releasing some genuine 70`s influenced, semi-obscured psych gems.
HEADCLEANER is his third LP for Woronzow (1999), a work of old fashion qualities, space -prog atmospheres, hard electric cliches, art-rock tastes,... and irresistible vocals that Hammill never did... All offered with the experience and the great generosity of a veteran soul that still does the journey...

NICK SALOMAN-lead guitar/organ, BARRI WATTS-lead guitar, AARON SHAW-lead guitar/organ, SIMON HOUSE-violin, RIC GUNTHER-drums, and ADRIAN-guitars/bass/instruments/voice.
