May 27, 2008: Art Gits Rule (pt.2)
Those of you who follow the BBC comedy series "Ideal" may have been somewhat surprised to see the character Brian (played by Graham Duff who also writes the series) sporting an "Art Git" t-shirt during the episode broadcast last night (26.05.08). The plot is way too complex to to explain to the unfamiliar but the circumstances of the shirt wearing revolved around the fact that Brian has a new boyfriend (played by Stereonation collaborater Malcom Boyle) who runs a kind of art gallery.
This is in fact not the first Githead reference in "Ideal" as our music has been featured in past episodes. The show, now in it's 4th series, makes a feature of using interesting, non-mainstream music in line with it's creator's ecclectic music taste. It goes without saying that "Ideal" is required viewing at Git HQ!
May 27, 2008: Art Gits Rule (pt.1)
Githead fan William Fellows-Jensen sent in to Githead HQ his company's otherwise somewhat dull annual report. Turning to page 25 we were somewhat amused to discover that amongst the 54 co-workers depicted only William had the good sense to make the right fashion choice!
May 18, 2008: New Live Video
A new live video has been added to the downloads page. It's a version of Live In Your Head from 4AD in Disksmuide, Belgium (Feb 7th 2008). The entire set was filmed by the club themselves and presented to us after our return. We may well be posting more live video in the coming weeks so look out!

Githead are: Malka Spigel, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Colin Newman and Max Franken. The band is very new, yet in its short existence Githead has managed to craft a style which is both original yet accessible, combining rhythmic toughness with interweaving guitars, and insistently funky basslines with deadpan vocals. Find out more about the band.
