Big Head Todd and the Monsters are a road band known for their live shows and accessible pop rock. They’ve created a lasting following from countless tour dates showcasing their musicianship and familiar melodic heavy sound.
They’ll be playing a show at the 9:30 Club on January 18 with Ronnie Baker Brooks and Hazel Miller, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away.
The band took form in 1986 as a trio with Todd Park Mohr on guitar and vocals, Brian Nevin on drums and vocals, and Rob Squires on bass and vocals. By 1989, they had started their own label and released their debut album to a growing following who fell in love with the Monsters live.
In 1993, the band saw commercial success through Sister Sweetly and its subsequent singles. Continuing after its widespread acclaim, Big Head Todd and the Monsters have gone on to produce 14 full-length albums and a cult-esque following for their live show.
Okay, so for a chance to get tickets, tell us your favorite band or song that has “head” in its name. There are two really obvious answers for bands, so I’m gonna skip ’em both and go with low-key electronic act Airhead.
The winner will be chosen at noon on Friday, January 17. Tickets are still available.
