BUSH TETRAS Have Made Punk Music At The Fringes For Over Four Decades. Flashes Of Reggae, Bursts Of Noise, Guitars That Rattle, Shake And Snake, Born Out Of A Gutter Behind Cbgbs. Over The Years They Have Respawned Time And Time Again, Contorting Their Sound, Tweaking The Vision, Remaining Singular And Indispensable.

In The Late 2010s The Group — Pat Place, Cynthia Sley, And Dee Pop — Reformed Again, Releasing An Ep, Take The Fall, In 2018. It Was Their First Offering Of New Music In Over A Decade. A Few Years Later In, 2021, They Released A Career Spanning Box Set Called Rhythm And Paranoia. The New York Times Called The Box Set An Artifact That “proves For Decades [that Bush Tetras] Continued To Evolve In Surprising Yet Intuitive Directions.” Around The Same Time, The Band Began Working On A Full Length Record, Writing Sessions During The Pandemic Over Zoom. Right Before The Release Of The Box Set, Beloved Drummer Dee Pop Passed Away. Determined To Complete The Record To Honor His Memory, The Tetras Went Into The Studio To Finish What They’d Started, Once The Timing Was Right. They Brought In A New Drummer, Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley, Who Also Served As Producer. Enter They Live In My Head.

The Band’s 3rd Official Lp, They Live In My Head Is A Collection Of Songs That Sometimes Reflect On The Past And Sometimes Reckon With Our Current Reality. From “ghosts Of People,” On Which Pat Place’s Legendary Guitar Meanders Through Closed Doors And Portals, To The Scorching “2020 Vision,” A Matter-of-fact Call To Arms To Get On The Streets And Get Something Done, The Album Addresses New And Old, In Both Abstract And Specific Terms. But Whether They’re Looking Forward Or Backward, Bush Tetras Have Always Been A Political Band, A Band That Calls Out All Kinds Of Bullshit, And, In That Sense, They Live In My Head Is Absolutely No Exception.
