Head games

Punk rock icon Jello Biafra is not shy about telling people what he likes and does not like. Back in the 1980s he proclaimed his love for Porcelain Forehead, so when the reconstituted 'Head returned to playing live shows it was more or less a cinch they'd end up on the bill with J.B. and the Guantanamo School of Medicine. As those who attended their great big reunion show at the Dominion know, the quartet can still rock with a fervour. This set may have been even more intense, since it didn't last as long.

Howlin' Mike Hillis.
