In the days when Cardiff and Stuttgart regularly exchanged bands with each other, an outfit called Garbagehead, originally based in west Wales, emerged, as one of the more unusual and more musically sophisticated acts. Managed by Jeff and Bev Delacruz, the band earned rave plaudits for their musicianship and unforgettable live performances. Two former band members, Nigel and Jason, now go under the guise of 'Ultimate Cool'. KCL's Steve Johnson caught up with Nigel, in the USA and Jason (West Wales). He was also (eventually!) able to reunite the band members with their former management team, Jeff and Bev from their current base, of Tipperary, despite a few technical hitches! Nigel is also the main songwriter with Electrasy - https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/4761/electrasy/.
