In 2002 they added a number of players to the live ensemble and began to play club dates in Chicago, recording their debut, <i>Ringodom or Proctor</i>, the next year. Their sophomore LP, <i>Hysterical Stars</i>, was issued by spinART in 2005 and was followed by a busy touring schedule. They recorded an iTunes-exclusive EP in 2005, which included some Neil Young covers marked by a departure from their huge orchestral sound. Their third LP, <i>Great Plains</i>, was released in 2008. - Nate CavalieriBaroque Popen720Fri, 1 Jan 2010 20:48:00 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7279603&rws=%2Fhead-of-femur%2Fmusic-videos.rss The orchestral bombast of the first two Head of Femur records doesn't sound much like a side project, but the Nebraska-cum-Chicago group was originally formed in 2001 by Matt Focht, Mike Elsener, and Ben Armstrong on downtime from their previous band, Pablo's Triangle.
