A quartet heavily compared to American Funk Rock acts and with a name derived from a defacatory sexual practice, SCAT OPERA have opened for Faith No More and Gaye Bykers On Acid on british tours in addition to releasing a brace of albums commencing with 1991's Colin Richardson produced "About Time". Bassist Michael Forry was replaced with John O'Reilly prior to the band's 1991 British support tour to Atom Seed.
The September 1992 album "Four Gone Confusion", released via Music For Nations, was recorded at Windings Studios in North whales with producer Colin Richardson.
Prince may have been booed off stage when he opened for the Rolling Stones at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1981, but White rock fans became more and more receptive to soul, funk and rap as the 1980s progressed. When the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who can take some of the credit) exploded, everyone from Primus to Faith No More was incorporating funk. Another worthwhile band that came out of this funk-rock fusion of the late 1980s and early '90s was the obscure Heads Up!, which showed some promise on Soul Brother Crisis Intervention. While the blistering alternative rockers are more rock than funk, traces of everyone from Funkadelic and James Brown to Jimi Hendrix are an appealing part of their metallic, thrash-influenced sound. Many of Heads Up!'s lyrics are open to interpretation, but on "Big Mama," they make a crystal-clear statement in favor of environmentalism. Those who like their metal and hard rock with a taste of funk would do well to hunt for this overlooked CD. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
