The new Avant-Hard!
Mad musical scientist David Fiuczynski started Screaming Headless Torsos back in 1984. The band mixed punk-rock and reggae and was fronted by an opera singer based on a model of mixing the vibes of German operatic punk singer Nina Hagen with one of the most vicious punk and reggae bands ever - the Bad Brains! Moving forward SHT added unique percussionist Daniel Sadownick on congas and incorporated funk, house, “latin”, ska and other elements in a unique groove-sandwiching style that sets Torsos apart from other bands. Continuing the tradition of having been fronted by mind-blowing singers like Freedom Bremner and Dean Bowman, Afro-Latina rocking screamer Sophia Ramos now picks up from where we started in 1997 when she was briefly in the band, adding her searing soulful voice and otherworldly siren calls. Rounding out the band is DJ David Ginyard on bass and James “Biscuit” Rouse on drums.
