Band / ??!! 9th Graders Do King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man"
Posted by Dave Segal on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Their parents must be so proud. The teens in the band Lead Heads (ages 14-16) have somehow mastered King Crimson’s world-slaying prog-rock classic “21st Century Schizoid Man”—and mustered the ingenuity to weave in a passage from the Grateful Dead’s “Shakedown Street” to boot. According to their website, Lead Heads are "America's leading teen jam band," and hearing is believing. They also cover songs by Allman Brothers, Traffic, and do Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" à la Jimi Hendrix. I'd like to see them graduate to tackling Aphrodite's Child's "All the Seats Were Occupied."

Wow, this is ridiculously good. Someone has cool parents and/or a creepy uncle with good taste in music.
