It's that kind of kick-ass move the f__k out of the way attitude that's gonna take you exactly where you want to go. Very few bands have your kind of motivation, talent, and work ethic. You are the cream... and the cream always rises to the top.

"Rock Artist Headroom and ZENUITY (Phoenix, AZ) Join Forces - Cross Promotion Marketing Blitz Slated For JAN 2011"

October 26, 2010 -- Zenuity is a premier web design, print, and digital media company in Scottsdale, Arizona. Recently the company spearheaded the entertainment industry to be one of their primary market sectors adding it to their already comprehensive portfolio.

At the local level the company chose to find artists and entertainers that are popular as well as endowed with talent and potential to carry them beyond their borders and further. After careful analysis of the local music scene - Zenuity scouts spotted local boys Headroom.

Headroom has been gracing stages in AZ, CA, and UT for a handful of years and is consistently headlining with the best talent the local scene has to offer. Recently, Martini Ranch the paramount club venue in Scottsdale, AZ had a chance to welcome Headroom to their stage and isn't letting go! On OCT 14, 2010 Headroom shared the stage with national touring artist - Brian "Head" Welch @ Martini Ranch and by many accounts stole the show.

Getting back to Zenuity. What is all the fuss about a print and digital media company and local rock artist - Headroom? Zenuity is not your typical business entity. They are staffed with the very best designers and sales people in the business and led by a cabinet of cardinal executives with progressive conceptualization, substantial breadth, and creative thinking ensuring success in implementing their unique systems that will likely see them dominating their marketplace.

Headroom is a perfect example of not doing what everyone else is doing. The band has carved out a niche in the local music and entertainment scene so unique it is likely their growth will have no end. Catching the eye of Zenuity is no surprise as the heads of these two formidable forces see things very clearly and are both distinguished and different from the multitudes in their respective trades.

The two compliment one another nicely. Headroom needs a marketing strategy as unique as their sound and Zenuity needs a swanky and sophisticated model for their entertainment sector. Looking at things from the outside even, it is obvious this is a match made in heaven.

January 2011 the team will begin an online marketing blitz that will be centered around the band's new website (to launch in NOV 2010) and social media platforms - Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, and Twitter. The band has been archiving HD video content recently and will be releasing numerous live HD videos in conjunction with the marketing blitz.

Fresh branding and identity, merchandising, and unique show ideas to capture the minds and spirits of the audience will all be implemented in upcoming shows as well. The Zenuity and Headroom alliance IS already upon us! To follow the progress of this unity visit:

"Headroom performing May 1, 2010 @ Joe's Grotto - Phoenix, AZ - Schools Out For Summer"

March 10, 2010 --
In Phoenix, Arizona things really start to heat up in the month of May. School goers start to get anxious for their approaching release from the rigors of school and begin thinking seriously about new ways to enjoy the summer solstice. Artists too are very in touch with the changing of the seasons and the guys from Headroom and Headroom Live Entertainment, LLC. “HRLE” are no exception.




Allow me to introduce: Joe’s Grotto. Joe’s is a rock venue in North Phoenix that is very well known for hosting the very best rock bands in the Phoenix metro and surrounding areas. Almost finished with a recent expansion and remodeling of the venue HRLE decided what better place to throw a Schools Out For Summer – “SOFS” party.

SOFS is an ALL DAY – ALL AGES event. Tickets are $10 at the door, presale: $8 for general admission, and $25 for VIP and are available now online at: http://www.showclix.com/event/8782/.

Special guests are TBA but we already know that Headroom, Back From Ashes, Seconds to Breathe, and Pelvic Meatloaf are going to performing at SOFS. Many consider this a clash of the titans. Between these four bands alone (not the members) there is over 40 years of live performance experience!




So we know that the stage is set, what about the rest of the party? If you haven’t ever had the opportunity to witness a live photo shoot with professional photographers and models… then SOFS is your ticket! HRLE has brought together twelve of the most beautiful models in the Phoenix area and one of the city’s best photographers: Victor Palagano III - Eyeful Images Photographic Arts, LLC. This is NOT your typical one on one photo shoot. This is the SOFS OFFICIAL Calendar photo shoot! Twelve models in very “small” school girl and cheerleader outfits summoning their sexiest poses for the camera’s eye. This is a 4 hour photo shoot!!

NOTE: ADULT CONTENT!! This portion of the event is for persons 18 years and older ONLY!! Only VIP ticket holders will be able to attend the photo shoot.

Attendance to this part of the show is extremely limited and will be witnessed by only a VERY lucky few! VIP ticket holders will be very happy they spent they extra $15 to have a front row seat to witness the calendar behind the scenes!




Outside of the venue STREETORSTRIP CONCEPT and EXKLUSIV Motorsports are having an import tuner car show. HRLE and Ice Hot Models have joined forces to provide 6 to 8 very gorgeous models to hang around the cars for promotional photography and the like.

Notorious P.I.G. will be catering SOFS from 5pm to 8pm. All VIP ticket holders get all they can eat included in their VIP ticket purchase. All others will have to cough up a whopping $10 to eat this award winning BBQ.

HRLE thought it was not only important to provide a setting that people could enjoy but even more important an easy and affordable way to get to and or from the show safely. HRLE has made some special deals with a couple of transportation

"Phoenix Music Awards Nominates HEADROOM for Hard Rock Band of the Year"

May 6, 2010 -- For anyone that has not been paying attention to their local music scenes which commonly can go unnoticed here is a juicy bit of information that is raising some eyebrows in the Southwest.

Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona the band Headroom has written a vast inventory of songs and have been honing their chops on local and regional stages across the Southwest. In recent years these guys have managed to receive numerous nominations and awards from the Phoenix and Los Angeles Music Awards - including their most recent nomination from the PMA's - Hard Rock Band of the Year. Having garnered all this attention from the Phoenix and Los Angeles voting academy and executive producers alike from only a four song demo is witness to the bands obvious talents and professional potential.

Formed almost five years ago the band will be releasing their debut CD/DVD this Winter. Highly anticipated and long awaited no one is more excited for the release than the very authors themselves. The band has stock piled over three albums of music but has not had the resources to produce a professional product till just recently. Devoted to crafting musical rhapsodies with keen attention melody, meter, and message the results are truly refreshing, original, and often times hypnotizing.



The range of abilities and creative depth living among these four gentlemen knows no bounds. Seasoned and streetwise Headroom is destined to become pop culture icons and it looks more and more like they're going to do it one their terms. The band can be found all over the internet - unfortunately their name is not as uncommon as their craft. Just Google: Headroomlive and you will find a laundry list of places to view and listen to the band.

Keep your eyes and ears open and remember the name, HEADROOM!! This artist is coming around the mountain and is positioned to take the industry by storm. Watch out... almost every song they write could find itself on top of the Billboard 100 sooner than later.

"Local Promotor Brings Headroom to Sundance Film Festival"

With just a week left before Sundance, Headroom of Arizona was offered an opportunity to travel to Utah and play for Salt lake City and Park City in a two day lineup, the first trip to Utah for this talented group. Co-founder Gavin Washburn has headed up the project for the band while a local Utah promoter has worked to get the group included in the sought after venue that is Sundance and the popular Ultimate Combat fights in Salt Lake. Future plans include a consistent presence in the beehive state and footage for their up coming music videos.
Utah is usually a quiet state, a little behind the rest of the states both economically and socially. This weekend, however, the state will get a little livelier as headroom of AZ takes the stage in two popular Utah cities, hoping to generate a new following and find new venues for their four member band to play in. The challenges for any band includes widening their fan base, affording travel and lodging, finding venues that cater to their genre, are willing to hear new talent. Hopefully, ones that will compensate for all of the work involved. Headroom is lucky enough to have started on the path to recognizing all three goals in Utah, a state with sizable population, but relatively slower social acceptance of outsiders.

Headroom has four members, each with his own unique talent, background and goals, but these band members are united in their goal to turn their popular musical performances into full time travel and work, while maintaining their individuality and other projects that foster their musical growth in various ways. See Headroom perform live in Utah for the first time. Salt Lake venue is Club Vegas on Friday the 29th, 11 pm and the Sundance venue is Flanagan's on Main in Park City. The Park City show will start at 4 and run until 7 pm.

"Headroom - LIVE @ The Whiskey - Hollywood, CA"

March 11, 2010 --
On Thursday April 29, 2010 – swanky sophisto-rock artist “HEADROOM” - Phoenix, AZ will be lighting up the stage at Hollywood’s Whiskey A-Go-Go. The Los Angeles Music Awards has been eyeing the band for quite some time now. Headroom has received numerous awards from the Los Angeles and Phoenix Music Awards in the past two years including but not limited to; National Band of the Year - 2008, Best Male Singer Songwriter of the Year – 2008, and Alternative Rock Band of the Year – 2009!




It seems these guys have been acquiring award after award in these awards shows. Bands from around the WORLD are invited to submit their work to the production office of the LAMAs and PMAs alike. A handful of bands are selected out of thousands of submissions each year to be award nominees. Three nominees for each category are chosen and invited to perform at one or more showcases where a voting academy casts their ballot for the best artist in each respective category.




Headroom is currently in the studio recording their debut CD/DVD due out this summer! As of now the band has been marketing with only a four song demo CD self-produced in 2007. Needless to say everyone is anxious to hear the new work almost finished. It seems certain that several rounds of awards most likely will be awarded to the band again for their upcoming release. “We just hope we get the CD cut in time to submit to the awards shows for 2010. Even though we have done VERY well with our demo material we can’t expect to keep moving forward without releasing some new work soon.” – Gavin Washburn/ drummer

2010 just so happens to mark the Los Angeles Music Awards 20th Anniversary and the main event is being held at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA on November 18, 2010. Headroom is optimistic they will get to perform at the main event so they are chartering a 40 foot bus to bring out loyal fans to enjoy the red carpet event in November. “We are always thinking about what we can do to change things up a little bit for the fans. We know that we can’t take everybody with us on this trip but it is something out of the ordinary that we think everyone will really enjoy” – Dan Buitron/ guitar




In the meantime Headroom is staying focused on writing, recording, and polishing things up for a premier event in Phoenix, AZ on May 1st - “Schools Out For Summer”.

Bio

Headroom is a sonic elixir where swanky southern rock forms mingle with sophisticated groove oriented modern rock.

Since the fall of 2005 these guys have been stock piling songs and honing their chops on numerous Arizona and Utah stages. The band set out to write as many songs as possible without any sounding alike forcing them to draw on their extensive influences and colorful life experiences.

Recently the band has been “cleaning-up” at regional and national awards shows – notably the Los Angeles and Phoenix Music Awards and turning heads of top industry promoters and producers. "It's that kind of kick ass move the f__k out of the way attitude that's gonna take these guys exactly where they want to go. Very few bands have their kind of motivation, talent, and work ethic. Headroom is the cream... and the cream always rises to the top!" -Al Bowman, LA Music Awards – Founder

Headroom has casually it seems managed to garner awards for 2008 Male Singer Songwriter of the Year - PMA, 2008 Rock Drummer of the Year - PMA, 2008 National Band of the Year – LAMA, and 2009 Alternative Rock Band of the Year – PMA and numerous nominations.

Headroom is well practiced having crafted dozens of highly refined melodic rhapsodies. Street wise and loaded with svelte and hypnotic hooks and riffs their music transcends their down to earth personalities. Live performances are gripping and magnetic! Headroom is sure to please with soaring vocals, intuitive message, enchanting guitar melodies, and a roaring cadence of drums and bass.

Headroom’s sound is unique and far reaching embracing elements of many popular artists that span decades. Having shaped a persuasive sound with a reverent and distinguished style they can share the stage with almost anyone. Headroom is a must see.
