    Led by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Denninzon, Stratospheerius unleashes their fourth collection of songs onto the world. Hot on the heals of their acclaimed CD, “Live Wires”, “Headspace” brings their live energy into the studio. Vocal rock anthems like "New Material, "Old Ghosts", and "Today is Tommorrow", shout alongside ripping instrumentals. From the bluegrass punk of “Gutterpunk Blues”, to the psychedelic roller coaster ride of “Mental Floss”, and the bigger and louder sequel to the Heavy Metal Hora “Heavy Shtettle II”. The disc also features a unique cover of The Police “Driven to Tears”. This CD is filled with memorable hooks alongside the death-defying instrumental jams the group has built its reputation on. Influences range from Zappa and Zeppelin, to Dave Matthews, to Radiohead, to Jeff Beck, to Beck. Go ahead. Take the ride….

about

New Material: This is a vocal rocker that was written a few years back. My wife and I had just bought a house in suburban NJ. My wife had just gotten a new job and our situation was good all around. I had just finished the Adventures of Stratopheerius CD, and was dealing with a horrible case of writer’s block. At that time, VH1 was constantly running the “Behind the Music” series, and a thought crossed my mind that I had never OD’ed on heroin, killed anyone, gone bankrupt, been to prison, etc. etc. etc. Everything was pretty hunky dory. I figured I couldn’t write anything worthwhile that had a positive message. If I stood a chance in this business, I had to manufacture some misery quick, so I wrote a song about being pissed off about not being able to write a song.
-Joe Deninzon

lyrics

New Material
(Joe Deninzon)

Every day is like an hourglass
Dove into you and swam a lap
I live an inch above the map
It's front-page news when I take a crap

I need a train running over me tied up to the tracks
I need a chained up psyche with a monkey on my back
I need a death threat deadline panic attack
I need a big bolt of lightning to strike me in the ass

Where's my material
I need new material

Reality check bounced last week
I hit the road like a psycho freak
Kerouac in wonderland
Reaching out for a helping hand

I need a smooth operator to screw me out of cash
I need a rare new virus with a constellation rash
I need a wall onto which my head I can bash
And lash out at the world in a car I can crash

Where's my material
I need new material
