I never saw the Headhunters but they are the first local band I ever remember hearing on KRVM. "Anorexia" was something of a local hit I suppose. I don't think any of the recordings below were ever released but as always, feel free to correct me.
From the Panic on 13th Yahoo group (Joe Lewis?):
"Started as a punkabilly trio composed of Coos Bay transplants, opened for Los Falcons added Nelson and went poppy. Played The Vatican, beer gardens, Max's etc. Recorded "Anorexia"
From Robert Shepard who was kind enough to supply the recordings here:
"A member of drummer Flanagan's family owned a really nice recording studio in the woods upriver a few miles from Coos Bay, on the west fork of the Millicoma, called Tioga Recording Studio. This was recorded and mixed there."

ReplyDeleteI have been searching the internet for around 16 years for 'Anorexia'. I AM ECSTATIC!! About 12 years ago, I found my friend, the dj that played it on KRVM, and asked him the name of the band. Since then, I would get on a kick a few times a year and search. Of course, other bands came up, but never them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi M.L.,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, responses like this are exactly why I started this thing. My own search for a copy of Anorexia took from 1985-1998 when my friend Adam who played in a band with the Chandlers for a brief bit lent me a VHS with some of the Chandler brothers old stuff recorded on it. Was obsessed with that song from the moment I heard it on KRVM, I don't think it was ever officially released anywhere. The Headhunters were the first local band I heard on KRVM.
Yes, I wrote that blurb for the yahoo blog. I remember that show at The Vatican, it was 1984 I think. Pretty sure Moose Lodge also played that show but maybe not. Me and the drummer were also in the Bel AIrs -paul
ReplyDeleteAnorexia was written in Bozeman MT while Nelson was still in High School. The Headhunters version is included in a new film about the 80's Scene in Bozeman:

My husband, Nelson, wrote Anorexia. If anyone has video they would be willing to share, I would be so appreciative! It would make a great Christmas gift for him. Thank you!
