This Manchester, England guitar band consists of Paul Bardsley (vocals), Phil Murphy (guitar), Aky (Born Graham Atkinson; bass) and Andy Pickering (drums), who came together after reading advertisements in Loot magazine. However, Molly Half Head have more unusual origins than the average indie band. An early incarnation of the group was reportedly an experimental coalition with a trombone player competing against a wall of noise and feedback. The band claim that said trombonist eventually went mad.
