Severed Heads

Severed Heads is an Australian electronic music group based and founded in Sydney in 1979 (see 1979 in music) as Mr. and Mrs. No Smoking Sign. The original members were Richard Fielding and Andrew Wright, and were soon joined by Tom Ellard. Fielding and Wright eventually left the group, leaving Ellard as a singular talent, the sole continuing member of the group. A variety of people played in Severed Heads, including Garry Bradbury, Paul Deering, and Stephen Jones, but over time the group devolved to Tom Ellard.

In early 2008 Ellard announced that Severed Heads was now defunct and that no further creative output would be released under this name. However, in November 2009, it was announced that Severed Heads would be performing a 30th anniversary show on January 14, 2010 as part of the annual Sydney Festival. It's unclear if this will be a one-off event, or if the Severed Heads name will be revived for the longer term.
