JamBase Questionnaire: Big Head Todd

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from Nathan Moore.

“Open me up and turn my life around/ Let the sun shine in and shook me off the ground/ Fallen apart, somehow you kept it together/ Kept me from drifting into stormy weather.”

Thus begins the new album from Big Head Todd and the Monsters entitled Rocksteady (released July 20). It’s another pretty seamless mix of adult pop, blues riffs and smooth grooves from the long-lived Colorado band, which has survived and even thrived as a unit well past their string of 90s hits. With a lineup that’s remained steady while their peers played musical compatriots, Todd Park Mohr (vocals, guitar), Rob Squires (bass, vocals), Brian Nevin (drums, vocals) and Jeremy Lawton (keyboards, steel guitars, vocals) exhibit an overlapping, communicative energy on Rocksteady, which frequently explores the things that build up and shake our faith, offering hope and harmony at a time when both are in short supply. It’s the work of pros that sound like they’re enjoying making music now as much as ever. And they spank Howlin’ Wolf’s “Smokestack Lightning,” too, so one’s blues get a workout as well, not to mention a sauntering, wistful cover of the Stones’ “Beast of Burden.” (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Todd Park Mohr had to say to our inquiries.

Todd Park Mohr by David Boothroy

Nicknames: “Big Head” or simply “Big”

Instrument of choice: Telecaster guitar

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Musicians listening to each other, and an appreciative audience listening to musicians

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
The Grease soundtrack, followed by Aretha Franklin’s Live at the Fillmore West

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
Radiohead OK Computer

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
A doctor or any kind of athlete

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
A mid-sized theater with good sound, and an audience that doesn’t have much knowledge of the band so they need to be won over.

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
That I really prefer to be left alone and to not be known at all…but oh well, I am an entertainer after all.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
Wind and water running through a canyon

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
Well, as fantastic as Elton John’s Captain Fantastic of course!

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
Grits and shrimp in Oxford, Mississippi

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Colorado at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Sleeping at all times of the day and night

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
Rolling Stones for me because of the roughshod blues influence of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf! The Beatles are more well, Chubby Checker.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
A large herd of elk, maybe 50 head, running right through the middle of the road I was driving on.

Jazz Fest After Dark | 04.29-05.02 | New Orleans

Words by: B. Getz | Images by: Casey Flanigan

Jazz Fest Night Shows :: 04.29.10-05.02.10 :: New Orleans, LA

The wise superhero SuperDee once told me, “Judge your Jazz Fest not by what you saw, but what you were forced to miss.”

Those who have been to Jazz Fest know that it’s extremely difficult to decide what shows to see. Head-to-head, there is simply so much incredible music, and rare treats, to indulge in over the course of ten days. Therefore, there will be plenty of fantastic music NOT covered in these dusk til’ dawn highlight. This is simply one boy’s second weekend journey to the musical Mecca that is Jazz Fest… After Dark.

Thursday, April 29

KDTU :: 04.29 :: Tipitina’s

No better way to start Fest then Dauphine and Lesseps in the Bywater, Thursday night at Vaughn’s. Though we arrived too late for his BBQ, Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers welcomed us to town like only they can. A joyful mixture of brassy jazz, sultry R&B swagger and modern day braggadocio, Ruffins’ band mixed The Isley Brothers with Gnarls Barkley, with some Mystikal to boot.

Backbeat Foundation hosted another HBO star/brass band alum session at the Blue Nile, where Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave seized their star turn, tearing down the Quarter for nearly three hours of nonstop NOLA stomp. His crack band, expanded for the occasion, more than ably laid a local foundation for Troy Andrews to delve deep into the Treme, unleashing blistering cuts from new album Backatown. Shorty cooked up a jambalaya of choice local brass anthems with a crunk-rock edge; a mammoth Marvin Gaye cover brought the house down.

Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe‘s Thursday late night show is always the place to be at Fest. The first in five years (and only KDTU Jazz Fest booking) was no different. Playing Tipitina’s Uptown until sunrise, Denson reminded us all of why he remains the King of Late Night Jazz Fest. The Tiny Universe dropped mammoth sets, balancing older favorites “Family Tree,” “Make it a Cosmopolitan” and “Because of Her Beauty” with blazing new joints like the blaxploitation banger “Brother’s Keeper Pt..II,” a lengthy dub-drenched take on “Mighty Rebel,” and an otherworldly keyboard battle between Robert Walter on Hammond B3 and Marco Benevento on Fender Rhodes.

Howlin Wolf held a benefit for the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, a huge post-Panic party with keyboardist Jojo’s Mardi Gras Band as the hosts. “Down on the Bayou II” included WSP bandmates Sunny Ortiz and John Bell (highlighted by a brief Panic set). Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann and NOLA monarchs George Porter Jr., Anders Osborne, John “Papa” Gros, Papa Mali, Jon Cleary, Big Chief Bo Dollis, and Alfred “Uganda” Roberts all lent their skills. Gov’t Mule‘s Warren Haynes, Jorgen Carlsson and Danny Louis joined hard hitting local skinman Russell Batiste Jr. for an exciting short set.

Friday, April 30

Pretty Lights :: 04.30 :: Republic

The new frontier of live electronic music was on display throughout Friday night, a tribute to both the evolution of the genre and the breadth of the Jazz Fest palette. With respect to the Rusko/Big Gigantic party that went late the night before, for this writer, Friday was about pulsating beats. With a new take on dubstep delivered Live PA style, Uprise Dub kicked things off with proper wobble at Dragon’s Den; dark drum & bass deep in the Quarter. A progressive minded dubstep swagger with Bukem-informed jazzy jungle, Paul Knight is a breakout waiting to happen. Big t’ings in store for this rumbling conglomerate.

Pretty Lights set it off substantially at Republic. With the sold out massive getting crazier by the song, kids were crowd surfing and bouncing off walls; absolute bedlam as dancing spilled into the street. Mixing bombastic originals with seriously dirty reinterpretations, Derek Vincent Smith knows how to rock a crowd. “More Important than Michael Jordan” ignited the fuse, but the set closing “Rumpshaker” remix was a five alarm fire.

Both Friday and Saturday nights, Bear Creek Presents hosted Break Science at One Eyed Jacks to teeming late revelers. Both shows kicked off at the ungodly hour of 4 a.m. Drummer wunderkind Adam Deitch knows no boundaries, and clearly the Rusko set had inspired him; Friday night’s set leaned heavily on dubstep wobble and thunderous bottom end. Saturday saw a more diverse assortment, with Borahm Lee unleashing a ridiculous array of skills amidst mountains of keyboards, samplers and laptops. Highlight: choice tribute to the late Guru, in the form of a punishing take on Gang Starr‘s “DWYCK,” demolishing of Public Enemy’s seminal “Bring the Noise” in a way that would make Hank Shocklee proud.

Saturday, May 1

Superfly Presents always provides a quintessential NOLA experience on the Creole Queen Boat Cruise; and this year’s Greyboy Allstars hoedown was the ideal soundtrack. While Kirk Joseph’s 504 Brass Band held down the deck with typical Crescent City flair, a newly recharged GBA came correct indoors. Incorporating new rare groove styles amidst a sea of classic West Coast boogaloo, the Allstars were back on their mojo. A spooky, enchanting version of “Nautilus” was the highlight for this writer.

Bear Creek Presents delivered another stellar gig at One Eyed Jacks with Dr. Klaw, a malicious conglomerate of NYC meets NOLA crunk. Nick Daniels led the boys into battle, welcoming local cats Andrew Block, Maurice ‘Mo Betta’ Brown and Clarence ‘Trixzey’ Slaughter to the fold. Eric Krasno (MVP?) wailed above the gumbo funk with reckless abandon, with Deitch and Nigel Hall grinning feverishly as they pushed the grooves along.

Backbeat Foundation hosted two killer Saturday shows at Tipitina’s French Quarter. Bonerama killed the raucous room with a smattering of funky brass and rock energy. Joined by Scott McCaughey (guitar), David Silverman (sousaphone), and R.E.M.‘s Mike Mills (bass) the troupe tore thru an Alex Chilton tribute, and spirited takes on “Cabbage Alley” and “Lovelight.” Later, the eclectic grouping Some Cat From Japan interpreted the works of Jimi Hendrix with a fresh take, and a lot of mojo. Led by Will Bernard and Nigel Hall, and ably assisted by Scott Metzger, Ron Johnson and Bonerama drummer Eric Bolivar, the spirit of Jimi was on full display with unique new vision.

A sisterhood of cities was on display at Howlin Wolf for The Royal Family Ball. George Porter and his Running Partners, Zigaboo’s Funk Revue and Break Science held things down early for the vicious combination of Soulive and Lettuce. Soulive delivered one of the final slamming Jazz Fest performance, ripping as a trio or when rolling augmented. But quite frankly, the finest hour belonged to a reinvigorated Lettuce, whose only performance of the weekend was a rage to remember. Welcoming back Boston OG’s Adam ‘Shmeans’ Smirnoff and E.D. ‘Jesus’ Coomes, the boys tore the roof off the Wolf. As if they didn’t already have enough ammo, Ian Neville, Maurice Brown and Khris Royal joined the fray, as did Skerik for the final banger. Lettuce had conquered Jazz Fest once again, sending off the masses with relentless, colossal funk jams.

Like a whirlwind, it was over just as suddenly as it started. Jazz Fest will do that to ya. Once again, it was an epic adventure of giant proportions. Special thanks to Paulina Trujillo and the Backbeat Foundation, Megan Sabella at Newsom Management, Paul Peck and Superfly Productions, Paul Levine and Bear Creek, as well as all the venues and promoters that join together to provide these rich experiences. Most of all, a heartfelt thank you to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the City of New Orleans, without whom none of this would be possible.
