The Headpins

Any fans? They were out to be just a "side project" for some of the members of the Canadian band Chilliwack. To my knowledge they only released 3 albums but they were quite good IMO.

I only remember this band by name.

I do know that Wounded Bird reissued some Headpins abums a few years back.

I lumped this band in with Toronto; another female fronted, late 80s Canadian band no one ever heard of.

I remember they had a minor hit with "Stayin' All Night" and vocalist Darby Mills was being pushed as sexy pinup gal. Not bad but very pop but Darby Mills is a good vocalist.

I have one of their albums, I really like it. This band is still around but I think that they really only play clubs in their local area. A couple tunes that come to mind that were pretty good were Mine All Mine and Feel My Body. One of the few female fronted bands I really like.

Darby Mills could (can?) definitely hit some insane notes.

A couple of their songs get semi-regular play on Canadian classic rock stations - pretty good band, but never felt the need to go buy their stuff.

Here is the clip from their minor hit, make sure you bring some wine these guys will supply the cheese.

I sold Ms Mills solo cd for $160 a few years back. Wish I would have burned it first, but I did not know it is so freakin' rare!
