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!!!

XIII Not the best

| | i said xiii is great but dont get me wrong...all the ones before it were better. | wesD | | post so we can talk some mushroomhead | mushroomhead66 | | i've only heard their XIII album. so i don't know about their other stuff. | alexhasagun | | Buy XX it wont be a waist of money. It is a combination of Mushroomheads first three independant albums. it is a good album. | mushroomhead66 | | yeh XIII wasn't all that good, but I mean they are awesome still. I LOVE MUSHROOMHEAD! | NoodleHead09 | | you can go straight to slipknot hell, you claim to be mushroomhead, but it sounds like you shoud be slipknot66 not mushroomhead66, the first 3 albums were great, the remix wasnt so hot cuz it had no lyrics but XIII was a good album.its a new sound, but you cant put barriers on what your band can play, they are expanding themselves and it is still MUSHROOMEHAD!!! | filthyhandsxiii | | maybe i dont want thier next cd to be like XIII because they are "expanding" and i dont want to put a "barrier on what they can play". You make me laugh because you sound so gay. you sound like someone that my freinds and i would beat the fuck out of. | mushroomhead66 | | mushroomhead66 you need to pull your! act together, I roll with filthyhandsxiii and their xiii cd is good shit we've seen them perform songs from xiii and its great, me and filty know alot more about mushroomhead then you can think of, so shut the hell up about "xiii suck balls" everybody knows that and thats your opinion 98% of the people i've ever talked to loved xiii. Crazy is a fuckin good song so just go eat a dick | mushroomhead216 | | Im allowed to have my opinion if you dont agree with it i dont fucking care. I dont remember saying that XIII "sucks balls". | mushroomhead66 | | I have been to two shows sience XII has been released. The first show on Dec 27 at the Agora Cleveland they played "becoming cold" and "sun doesnt rise". those two songs arent bad, but june 14 at the scene pavilion Cleveland they played "crazy" it seemed like half the pit just stoped, and waited for the next song to start. Because crazy is gay to me, and the rest of the true fans from Cleveland Bitch! | mushroomhead66 | | i am not going to waist any more time fighting with mushroomhead fans about mushroomhead. it doesnt make any sense. we all like mushroomhead so why fight about mushroomhead | mushroomhead66 | I listened to their old stuff, way beeter. I
hope they get it together and don't make
anymore songs like crazy just like you said. | SHMOTZ | | thank you | mushroomhead66 | wtf are you talking about XIII was awsome you
cant just expect them to be the same thing
for like12 years. and by the way Crazy is a
remake from some old band.(forget there
name)anyway thats my openion | PigBenis | XIII is a good album. although nothing like
their other stuff. | alexhasagun | I thought XIII was a great album and so was
XX and all the others so.........
MUSHROOMHEAD ROCKSSSS | Phantomhoggie | I didn't like much off XIII at first, but
it grew on me. XX kicks ass, but I can't
find the others anywhere. | SlipKnoT_KA | | | |
