Formed in Memphis, TN in 2004, J.R. and Erin Wicker moved to Atlanta, GA in 2007 and gathered up four more fine musicians (Vince, Puma, Kara, and Nick). Imagination Head LOVES to perform. Their second album On/Off will be released January 29th, 2011.
Their fist album, The Stale and Sparkly Air, was released in August of 2006.
"Imagination Head live performances consist of a wealth of entertainment: impromptu product placement commercials, TV heads, cakewalks, even a funhouse (complete with dream research, curtain mazes, creepy clowns, a stenographer, glass eaters, and crude oil drinking). Needless to say, the band lives to entertain their audience." -Adam Herrington, Mule Magazine, Chicago
"the group's debut disc puts the focus squarely on Wicker's songs-rambling, hilarious, acerbic gems that owe debts to everyone from Dylan to Conor Oberst but that mark Wicker as one of the most original writing voices in town"

The Lisps are a New York-based co-ed assemblage of 21st century theater prone indie rockers. Their songs border the literary and borrow liberally from vaudeville, Anti-Folk, science fiction, and Americana. Their hyper-active performances typically involve bloody tambourines, wrestling, lipstick smeared melodicas, old filing cabinets, and film reels suspended by rusty chains. The Lisps are set for a 2011 release of their 3rd album "Are We at the Movies?" and their Civil War sci-fi musical FUTURITY, which has had 15 workshop performances, will have its World Premiere in February of 2012.

The Lisps have formed, deformed and reformed over the last 3 years. They are an ever changing body of genius behaviour. Like the mythic phoenix rising from the ashes of oblivion The Lisps are endlessly entertaining to themselves and their friends. Sometimes they argue with each other but they almost always agree to disagree and/or validate each other's point of view. The lisps have been on 2 humungous national tours and wowed thousands of Pro-American and Anti-American Americans with their outrageous live performances. They released their debut full-length album, "Country Doctor Museum" in January of 2008 and celebrated with a sold-out album release party at the beautiful Joe's Pub. The Lisps are currently working on their musical "FUTURITY." Which is the classic American tale of a Civil War soldier who trying to invent a steam-powered artificial intelligence.
Sammy is 5' 4"
Cesar is 6' 3/4"
Eric is about 5' 10"
Lorenzo is probably 5'9" but might be growing still.
1 member is not a small boy, but actually a woman of average height with a slamming bod. 2 members are lefties and 1 member was temporarily living with his parents but now has a great apartment with his wife, and all the Lisps are very happy for him. 5/8 of The Lisps are now Jewish! 2 members are obsessed with regional Macaroni and Cheese recipes and 2 members love talking about electricity and geeky acoustical concepts. 1 member is finishing college, 1 member has a BA, 1 member has a master's degree, and 1 member said "Fuck college, I'm going pro." 1 member was born in the 90's and 1 member was born in the 70's, (leaving 2 members to be born in the 80's) 3 members sometimes feel like they aren't living up to their full potential but then usually 1 other member says something encouraging. Lorenzo, however, always feels good.
