Tackhead
Tackhead was created when bassist Doug Wimbish, guitarist Skip McDonald, and drummer Keith Leblanc (the Sugar Hill Records house band and one of the most-recorded electrofunk rhythm sections) met English dub master and On-U sound boss Adrian Sherwood in 1984. First under the moniker Fats Comet and then Tackhead, they recorded experimental 12" singles using a sampler as a real instrument, mixing dub, funk, and industrial music. In 1989, vocalist Bernard Fowler joined the band, taking it into a less underground direction. Tackhead was also a backing band for Mark Stewart and Gary Clail.
Members: Adrian Sherwood, Bernard Fowler, Doug Wimbish, Keith LeBlanc, and Bernard Alexander
