SPLATTERHEADS

The Lompoc County Splatterheads was formed in 1987 in Sydney however the band members originally hailed from Brisbane. In 1988 they released the mini album 'The Filthy Mile' on their own label Splatter Rock. Dropping The Lompoc County tag, they simply became Splatterheads and signed to Waterfront Records. In 1989 they recorded the album 'Ink Of A Mad Man's Pen'. In 1991 they moved to Melbourne and became a part of a movement that mainly coalesced around Dog Meat Records, other bands included Hoss, Bored!, The Powder Monkeys, Freeloaders, Asteroid B-612 and others. 

They recorded their next album 'BOT The Album' on Dog Meat. Borrowing from 70s psychedelic and hard rock acts such as Hawkwind, The Stooges and Sonic’s Rendevous Band, the Splatterheads were notable for having two lead singers trading off against each other. Thier last album 'Joined At The Head' was recorded by Hardy Heinlin at Marquee Studios Reutlingen Germany in early 1995 when the Splatterheads embarked on a European tour comprising 35 shows in 40-days. This album wasn't released in Australia. Peter Thompson died in 2023.
