It's hard to think of anything related to the 60s and 70s without feeling a great
sense of nostalgia. And it is that sense of nostalgia that prompted the Large Flowerheads, a '60s and '70s cover quartet,
to regroup for a reunion show. Passionate about the genre and era, yet staying true to each song's original nature,
the Flowerheads keep their show fun, friendly, and a trip to sing along with.
- Genre: retro/'60s/'70s
- Band members: Greg Geist (vocals, guitar), Dano D'Amelio (vocals, bass, farfisa
organ), Billy Trexler (vocals, guitar), Moe Jerant (vocals, drums)
- Influences: British Pop, American Pop, Classic Rock, Motown
- Website: www.largeflowerheads.com, www.myspace.com/largeflowerheads
- Upcoming Shows: June 21: Ice House, Bethlehem, 8 p.m.
- If you could play any venue, where would it be?
Dano:
Hollywood Bowl. The Beatles played there. It's excellent. Moe: Fillmore East. It was THE club in its day in New York. the entire scene from New York gravitated to Fillmore East.
Billy: I'd like to play CBGBs, but that's not going to happen. Greg: Carnegie hall. Or Shea Stadium because The
Beatles played there.
- If your music were to be used in any movie, what would it fit with best?
Greg: I'd like to think something like "Easy Rider". Dano: The original version of
"Bedazzled". It's a mod English movie from back in that day. Moe: A documentary. When
you do a documentary, there's a script and a definite theme and a definite direction, so you can plug stuff in and be more
representative of what we do, because what we do is so diverse. Dano: There was a '60s movie
called "Psych Out".
- If you could play back up for any band, or if you had to be a cover band for any band, which
would you choose?
Moe: We are a tribute band, but we're not a
tribute band of any particular act. Greg: We're more of a tribute act of an era.
Moe: So we would like to be ourselves and play for ourselves.
