Head of the Herd The Head of the Herd VIES Magazine

The band was created over a trip to Boise, Idaho to watch a college football game. "Hours spent showing each other demos on the drive and cowboy boots full of whiskey flasks at the game, led to a fuzzy yet memorable weekend that marked the genesis of the band."
