Legendary stoner rock gurus, The Heads, reissued their seminal record, 2000’s Everyone Knows We Got Nowhere, in a limited edition five-LP & CD box set earlier this year. It’s charted high in end-of-year reissues rundown and Rooster Rock have now kindly given us this exclusive stream of a rare live bootleg from the release. California Jams encompasses seven tracks, a 37-minute long jam of bone-crunching riffs and blood-curdling guitar squeals that was recorded on the Bristol quartet’s infamous US tour of 2000.
In one particularly hairy moment in Sacramento, the tour van got petrol bombed after a brief post-gig scuffle. Talking to us in our interview published on Monday, lead guitarist Paul Allen said: "That was a strange gig. I remember Wayne and I swapping instruments and him just writhing on the floor with the guitar. The actual incident I think was helped along by some guy accusing us of throwing a bottle at him and one of us threatening him with a barstool because the guy was being an arse. The whole vibe in the capital was tense and the venue looked very earthy." Listen above, take a look at the track listing below and get hold of the box set here.
