From Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 1977, the Headboys released an album of power pop in 1979 on Robert Stigwood's RSO label. The LP was produced by Peter Ker (Motors, Bram Tchaikovsky). The first single, "The Shape of Things to Come" coupled with "The Mood I'm In" was a minor hit and the band planned a U.S. tour to support the album and join the New Wave craze that they reluctantly became a part of. But they decided not to tour the States and retreated to the Scottish countryside to record another album. The second album, however, was never released.
So happy to see you on Myspace! Absolutely LOVE the Headboys album, which I completely wore out. A couple of my favourites were "Kicking the Cans" and "Gonna Do It Like This".
I've been looking for a CD or digital download but have had no luck - can you tell me where I can find your music to buy?

Thanks so much for the add. We first saw The Headboys on SNL way back in the day. Ran out to the record store the next day and bought the 8-track! And just bought the vinyl album a couple weeks ago. Oh the flashbacks and the great memories, but mostly we're fond of the awesome music. Still an all time top 10 fave of ours!
