Mushroomhead is a band that formed in 1993 as a side-project of a few different local bands. Each member of mushroomhead was already in another band, and all of these bands practiced together in the same building. Eventually, the members of these bands became good freinds, and formed Mushroomhead. They had their first show, and originally fans didn't like the idea of the masks. They didn't wear masks because it was the "cool" thing to do, they did it because they realized that they didn't want fans to judge them based on their other bands that they were originally in. So, they all wore masks or face-paint of some sort. This eventually became their gimmick, but didn't rely on their onstage presance, to sell records. Instead, they relied on their sound, heavy guitars, keyboard riffs, Jeffory Nothing (Jeff Hatrix) as the high pitched vocals, and J-Mann (Jason Popson) as the low pitched vocals. They originally had a stripper named roxy, but she later left the band due to personal problems.
By 1995 the band had collected enough original material to release their first independant album, Mushroomhead, self titled. In 1997 they released their second release titled "Superbuick" and they also released an increadably rare Remix CD. By 1998 things had taken a bit of a turn, Road runner Records had contacted Mushroomhead, about a contract signing, but Mushroomhead declined. Within seven months, the band saw "Slipknot", which appered to be a carbon copy of Mushroomhead, which seems to be an arguement that continue's to this day amoung Mushroomhead fans.
1999 brought on Mushroomhead's third independant release, "M3". The sound was much heavier, borrowing riffs from a side-project band, "(216)". This year also brought about a new look For Mushroomhead. That year they introduced the "XX" look. To this day, they use a modified version of that look.
In May of 2000, The band made history as the first local band to headline Blossom Music Center, which is an ampitheater that holds nearly 20,000.
In May of 2001, Mushroomhead returned to Blossom Music center, to headline their second season opener in a row. They also released their first major national release, under eclipse records, entitled "Xx". Named after their masks, the album was a complitation of their previous three independant releases. Then in December of 2001 They signed to universal, and rereleased "Xx". With 2 extra songs, and a new pink floyed cover as the into to "Born Of Desire", the band was in trouble with "Eclipse Records", stating they were still under contract with them. On December 11th, MTV, MTV2, and MTV X, all unveiled Mushroomheads new music video for "Solitaire/Unraveling".
Now, in 2002, we here at Cleveland Local Music, wish only the best for Clevelands favorite home grown band.
Good luck, Mushroomhead!!!

| XoXoPlushOxOx | that dude probly talkes about them casue ther
awsome. if you like metal go to best buy and
get some Mushroomhead stuff and go on there
web sit www.mushroomhead.org and go to the
store sectoion and buy some of there erly
material | PigBenis | | Not a bad suggestion. | insertname | One flaw in your suggestion: I don't think
they can comprehend what real music is... | SyntheticxDreams | shut up you fucking bitches.Mushroomhead is
way better than the shit you listen to | PigBenis | Dead_Fairy, you would not happen to be
Dead_Faerie (or something close to that) on
Xanga would you....ironic if not because that
makes two 1990 born Dead Fairies in Florida. | SyntheticxDreams | Yes Piggy. If you think Mushroomhead is good
than you have obviously never heard anything
good...that or you've killed too many
brain cells to tell the difference between
good stuff...and Mushroomhead... | insertname | I don't think he realizes that a lot of
the music we listen to influences
Mushroomhead in one way or another. Not like
thats a compliment to our music though... | SyntheticxDreams | Well, people can be close minded if they
want, I guess. It's probably better
anyway. I was open minded about music...that
is how I discovered Mushroomhead. Not a good
day for me. | insertname | Haha pobracito. Yeah I dated a guy that liked
Mushroomhead. Worse day for me (or actually 2
weeks). I win hehe. ::shudders:: I won't
even call that openmindedness though, more
like a moment of insantiy.... | SyntheticxDreams | | | |
