Faxed Head

From Coalinga To Osaka — Faxed Head: Live in Japan 1995 Beautifully shot on three cameras during Faxed Head’s improbable 1995 tour of Japan, From Coalinga To Osaka documents the pride of Coalinga, CA in all their self-handicapped, brain-damaged glory. Live footage of the self-proclaimed “desk metal” quartet is interspersed with baffling but authentic footage of a Japanese junior high school class in which the students are being instructed on the subject of… Faxed Head! This strange and wonderful document is a surefire hit to fans of Mr. Bungle, Neil Hamburger, and Carolinerall acts that Faxed Head has long been associated with, for reasons that are not clear.
