Eric Hedford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric Hedford is a drummer who was a founding member of The Dandy Warhols. He performed on 1995's Dandy's Rule OK?, 1996's The Black Album and 1997's ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down. Under the moniker Aquaman Hedford is credited for "additional production" on ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down's Everyday Should Be A Holiday. Also as Aquaman, Hedford did several remixes of the song Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth, which were only available on a promotional 12 inch record. He was replaced in 1998 by Brent De Boer, as Hedford departed the Dandy Warhols after a dispute with Courtney Taylor-Taylor regarding royalties. According to Taylor-Taylor on the documentary DiG!, Hedford wanted a greater percentage of his royalties. These claims were disputed in the movie's DVD extras.
After leaving The Dandy Warhols, Hedford drummed for the power-pop group Magic Fingers, which also featured Matt Hollywood (Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Out Crowd) on guitar and lead vocals, Carl Radavich (Television Eye) on bass and Michael "Spike" Keating (Swoon 23, touring member of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) on guitar. Hedford also performed briefly with Rick Bain and the Genius Position.
He now fronts the band We Are Telephone (formerly known as just Telephone), that plays power-pop/new-wave/psychedelic music. Hedford performs lead vocals and plays keyboards. The band has self-released a self titled ep and is currently mixing a full length album with Tony Lash.
Hedford performs weekly at the Goodfoot in Portland, Oregon as DJ Aquaman.
Eric Hedford formed Flooded Music Compostion and Design with Scott Fox (also of We Are Telephone and of Satan's Pilgrim's). From FMCD's website: "Flooded Music Composition and Design, doing original music and audio scoring for advertising, broadcast media, commercials, film, multi-media and web based productions.
