1st album - Blackwater
3head came together from diverse influences and musical styles in the late 1990’s. Since then, we have been working on 3head music along with our own projects. Our first album, Blackwater, was co-produced with Adrian Sherwood and came out in Japan (Beatink Records), UK, Australia and France (Different Records) in Sept 2003.
The band toured Japan with Andrew Weatherall, Dennis Bovell and Adrian Sherwood on ’The Echomaniacs Tour’. We hit the in the Tower Records Album charts in Japan, played on MTV for South East Asia and were featured on an Adidas Promo cd. In the last few years, we have written soundtracks for 2 Channel 4 Documentaries and for video.
