Headgear is Daragh Dukes and friends. Ever since the 2000 single, “Wonderdog”, which Daragh co-wrote with Dotty, an aged airdale terrier, Headgear have explored themes of identity and oblivion using all available means.

Where that comes from... I did a search for songs about Harry Truman and that R.W Stone one came up, I'm sure you came across it before, but couldn't resist spamming it on you. I found there's a few songs out there about Harry S Truman as well by the way, though not as fondly remembered as old Volvic Harry... I guess it doesn't help if you've had a Hiroshima or two...
Hope you are SURVIVING these crazy economic times! Enjoy our new video "Whiskey Tonight" and stop by our site for a FREE download of the new song. Yes, something for FREE. Cheers!
