Big Head Todd and the Monsters are a Colorado band through and through, formed in Boulder by Todd Park Mohr, Brian Nevin and Rob Squires, and they built their name the old-fashioned way: on the road, with a big, loyal live crowd spread across the Mountain States. The band mixes blues rock, a little country rock and a dash of funk into a warm, loose-limbed sound made for long summer nights.
Midnight Radio, in 1990, carried "Bittersweet", but the leap came with Sister Sweetly in 1993, their major-label debut, which went platinum in the US on the strength of "Broken Hearted Savior" and "Circle". Strategem followed in 1994 with "In the Morning", and Beautiful World, in 1997, brought the rolling, bluesy "Resignation Superman".
They kept at it. All the Love You Need arrived in 2007, and Mohr, Nevin and Squires remain at the core, with Jeremy Lawton also in the current lineup.
