Derek "No Head
Jackson" Macleod
Perceval Road's
answer to Lux
Interior and
Guest Vocalist
for
Subterraneans
practices when
Emil the Shrink
couldn't be
bothered to show
up.
No Head was
extensively
informed at a
young age by the
hip record
collections of
his 2 very cool
big brothers (John
D and Ali),
No Head was
considerably
more clued up
musically than
the rest of the
band, especially
when it came to
the blues. And
punk.
As well as his
vocal duties, No
Head appeared as
a drive-in
cinema
proprietor/werewolf
in "The
Subterraneans
Show"
After heading
off to Edinburgh
in 1983, No Head
was frontman
with modern punk
outfit
The Obsession.
After the
Obsession split,
No Head, Leroi
(and for a
while Memphis
Louie) played
together in the
later 80s down
in Edinburgh, as
No Head
Jackson & The
Sharecroppers
from Hell
(see
Spinoffs),
famous for their
high speed cover
of Blind Gary
Davis' "Death
Don't Have No
Mercy".
After many years
in Edinburgh, No
Head recently
returned with
his family to
live on the
ancestral croft
in Garrabost,
where he is
currently
undergoing the
painful process
of turning into
a Rubhach. He
recently guested
on vocals with
Memphis Louie an
the Rockin
Firebird of
Death in a live
appearance at
the Woodland
Centre.
