Michael Head

Michael Head is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool. He founded the band Pale Fountains with his friend Chris McCaffrey in the 1980s and after the tragic death of McCaffrey went on to form Shack with his brother John, Pete Wilkinson and Iain Templeon. In the 1990s he befriended Arthur Lee and went on to support his band Love on their European tour.

Between signing with Noel Gallagher's label Sour Mash in 2006 and battling demons with addiction, Shack decided to take some time to focus on other things. After releasing nine studio albums with four different bands, Michael then went on to form The Red Elastic Band, and released their debut album Dear Scott, which reached number six in the UK album charts in 2022.
