about

What do you do when things go bad, or when something desperately needs to change? When life seems in a downward spiral and all you have is a pair of clippers and dreams of better times? Headshave pays homage to many a bad haircut and the power of a symbolic shift! By Mparntwe post-punk band Stellar Sea, who are not afraid of a Number 1.

lyrics

Headshave

Today
I shaved
My head back down to size
Today I paid the ultimate price
For my vanity!
And I cried
For what used to be
Poor me!

Contemplate
My rate
Of personal decline
Heavy
Mentality
I’m searching for my
For my, for my, for my, for my energy
And I cried
For what used to be
Poor me!

Contemplate
My rate
Of personal decline
Heavy
Mentality
I’m searching for my
For my, for my, for my, for my energy
And I cried
For what used to be
Poor me!

This sickness courses through my veins
This weakness confuses my brain
And I, I, I, I, I
I know the fantasy
Of a poor little girl
Of a poor little girl
Of a poor little girl
Of a poor little girl

Poor little girl
Poor little girl
Poor little girl
Poor little girl

about

Stellar Sea Alice Springs, Australia

A cohort of post-punk eco queers with a k!nk for planetary survival (and eyeliner). Their songs have mood: like David Lynch movies and art-punk lullabies. Like vast deserts and dark clouds on the horizon. Too goth to be grunge, too garage to be new-wave and too stubborn to lose hope, the band slides and screams between genres to create swan songs for the apocalypse. ... more
