After high school Tater and Jeff worked together at Value Village. Jeff unloaded trucks and backed up the assembly line. Tater hung clothes. The work sucked, playing with all the cool junk that got donated was the only relief. Jeff and Tater started a Barbie field where they’d plant arms, heads, legs and other various doll parts on a hillside behind Value Village. Eventually the doll farm was destroyed by their co-workers. It was then that the name ”Head“ appeared, named after the Goose Bumps doll head they found on a Burger King toy.

      Jeff and then drummer/co-worker, Brian Ulcer would run around with ”Head“ attached to their finger and talk to ”Head.“ Interestingly enough ”Head“ told them things. ”Head say, ‘Eat all the food in the break room.’,“ Jeff would repeat Head’s bidding and follow his orders. Brian and Jeff were tearing the heads off of all the dolls that came into Value Village. ”Head say, ‘tear their fucking heads off!’.“ The name Half Inch Head was born based on the measurement of the knob that held a He-Man dolls head on.

      Tater left Value Village to pursue a career in office supply technology. Tater eventually moved to Spokane for unexplained reasons. Maybe Head had brought him cause Tater had a closer relationship with Jeff than Head. Tater pursued his career in office technology and forgot about music but he never forgot about Jeff.

      Eventually Head lead Jeff to a life of drug abuse and vehicular rage. Tater never forgot about the fun they had in Visionary. Tater came home and saw that Jeff was on the verge of losing it all. Tater and friends convinced Jeff he needed to take action in order to save himself. Jeff came to Spokane to be closer to Tater and to escape the evil that Head had forced him into.

      The boys started playing music together and went on a search to find the perfect drummer. Brian Ulcer who had once played drums with Jeff and Tater was now trapped into fatherhood and could not join them. Every week Half Inch Head had a new drummer. There was the alcoholic, the hippie, the homeless guy, the almost pro skater, and the countless burnt out thirty something’s trying to connect with the youth. On the eve of Half Inch Heads first show they couldn’t get a hold of their then drummer, a bi-polar virgin. Spike had called earlier that week in response to an old ad. The bond was instant and Half Inch Head was complete.

      Half Inch Head has created some of the most intriguing promotional material in Spokane. After only 6 performances Half Inch Head was acknowledged in Spokane’s entertainment paper, ”The Local Planet.“ Of which they said that Half Inch Head creates vulgar poster art. A proud and true fact. Herein we will show you the artwork, fliers and various propaganda that made the name Half Inch Head infamous.
