Doug Wimbish - bass
Will Calhoun - drums
Echo Beach subdivision Dude Records had just released the Headfake film 'Live in the area of Prague'. The film, directed and edited by Petr Tomaides, was recorded at the Lucerna Music Bar in Prague, Czech Republic.
Best known as the rhythm section in the Grammy Award-winning band Living Colour, Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun showcase their individual talents, performing as the bass/drum duo Headfake. As Headfake, Doug and Will have the opportunity to display a virtuosity, often over shadowed when playing in a more traditional support role.
So when Headfake was scheduled to play the Lucerna Music Bar (a popular nightclub in downtown Prague, Czech Republic), Doug and Will welcomed a proposal from local filmmaker Petr Tomaides' to document the event.
Effectively capturing the night's high-energy performance, and later editing and cutting the film in an appropriately frenetic style, Tomaides has allowed us the opportunity to ride along as Doug and Will explore the outer limits of sound, opening our eyes (and ears) to what is musically possible by 'just two guys'.
In the area of Prague is a fast-paced, day-in-the-life of Headfake, from Doug and Will's arrival in Prague to an interesting afternoon sound check, backstage, as Czech reporters ask Doug about his improvisational style and vivid musical past, and of course on stage for the evening's inspired performance.
With a level of intensity rarely seen in such a small club, Doug and Will command the stage, and conquer the room with their electrically charged set, combining their own collaborative compositions with rarities out of Doug's industrial/funk (Tackhead!) and hip-hop past.
After experiencing Headfake live in the area of Prague it's apparent why Doug and Will are considered one of the finest rhythm sections in rock 'n' roll, and the heart and soul of Living Colour.
Will Calhoun, the widely acclaimed drummer from the Bronx, NY, graduated from the Berkelee School of music in Boston, where he received a degree in Music Production and engineering. He was also the recipient of the prestigious Buddy Rich Jazz Masters Award for outstanding performance by a drummer.

Doug Wimbish, has had an amazing career, from his early days with legendary rap label Sugarhill Records to pioneering work with Tackhead to his continuing work with Living Colour, he’s truly best described as a journeyman.
As the 80’s wore on, Sugarhill found itself overtaken by hip-hop innovations outside its stable of artists, and its house band had already formed a productive relationship with British dub reggae experimentalist Adrian Sherwood. Wimbish began working with Sherwood on a variety of projects.
In the 90's of Living Coulour, Wimbish worked on albums with Madonna, Annie Lennox, Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stones, Ron Wood , Seal and many others. And most recently with Mos Def, including HBO's Reverb show.
In 1999, Sherwood 's On-U Sound label issued Wimbish's first solo album, Trippy Notes for Bass.
After 20 years as an innovator, collaborator and explorer of music and bass , Doug continues to ride the cutting edge . |
