In the fictional mind of its creator rob redhead the Mr "Redhead with Horns" was an uber gigantic ego rockstar who formed a band. The band originally started out as a "rutles cover band" and cut their teeth on the north sea ferry line in england around 1972.. a sort of cruise ship band doing the latest pop hits. The gig was very mainstream to keep the passengers happy and take their minds off being seasick!.. all and well with regular gigs! ten crossings of the english channel daily and a guaranteed wage packet at the end of the month but aspiring rockstar redhead wanted more for himself and his band. Noticing the success of new heavy rock bands coming to the fore such as Krokus, Budgie and Reo Speedwagon redhead wanted a piece of the american pie and with some music industry "special favours" got himself and his band signed in the summer of 1973 with famous music promoter Diggie Blowhard. The bands first album release on Decca Records entitled "Debut Forever" went in at (number one) in the Lithuanian music charts and a respectable 86 in the uk.
The band continued through the 1970s gaining a huge following in the heavy rock and metal world especially in kazakistan where redhead with horns himself briefly had his own "chat show" co-hosted with Kazakistans very famous tv-personality legendary "Organ Fielops". In 1979 and whilst on a private plane flight from poland to new zealand the plane had taken a short cut across the jungles of south america, the plane dissappeared off the radar during bad weather and went down in the middle of the "amazonian jungle", whereupon redhead with horns and all other passengers where assumed dead. Miraculously six months later a bewildered rockstar redhead was found staggering through the local "bush" by a documentary wildlife crew in a helicopter, thin and unrecognisable he was rescued and taken to the nearest hospital all the while telling tales of fighting off cannibals! and living on a diet of coconuts. Whatever the critics at the time said about this event and his astonishing survival it did redheads personality profile no harm.. with many tv chat show appearances all eager to hear of his unbelievable story. By now the 1980,s were just kicking in which would send him and his band to stadium rock heights on the back of his raised profile, everybody from the guy stacking shelves in the local supermarket to the queen of denmark knew who redhead with horns was, and by the fall of 1982.. conquering america was a done deal.
In 2014 redhead with horns announced his retirement from the music industry and read out a statement saying: "You guys have givin me everything in life! riches, fame and woman and i thank you all. Every now and again in life their are human beings like me who take genius to that higher level.. we can't all be rockstar's Because you need the little people doin the little jobs, and by gosh its been those little average nobody people that have: (A) bought the albums and (B) came to the shows.. and all i can say from the bottom of my heart is "cheers you lot". Lets all hope for a better world where their is no horrible stuff going on like wars and shit and that world peace happens for the peoples of the united worlds and even out in the space too with aliens and stuff, in all the worlds everywhere. I love you all, god bless. Oh and finally before i forget.. there's a new book coming out soon.. plus a documentary and we've also got the box set arriving for christmas.. and the merch is always available from our online store, hari krishna hari krishna.
