Biography

The Headless Chickens was a New Zealand band. Going against the grain of the Dunedin sound that dominated the Flying Nun Records roster at the time, the Headless Chickens made extensive use of electronic instruments in their music. They recorded three studio albums, Stunt Clown (1988), Body Blow (1991), and Greedy (1997).
