Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles
Micahel Franti will do solo acoustic shows in Melborune and Sydney when Spearhead come to Austrailia for the Melbourne Jazz and Blues festival.
The shows coincide with the release of a new limited edition CD, Love Kamikaze: The Lost Sex Singles, which features six previously unreleased Franti/Spearhead tracks.
It seems the CD will be on sale at the shows (and possible later on Spearheadvibrations just like Songs From The Front Porch.)

I Know I'm Not Alone
Dan has found a video of the song I Know I'm Not Alone, the first time it was played. The lyrics are also available. Thanks Dan.
New lyrics
We've added some new lyrics (see below). Dan has sorted them all out. All songs are unreleased and lyrics taken from live performances.
We're back!
Thanks to Matt and Jen of loveisdashit.com for getting us back up - updates soon and please report any torubles with the site.
My email is back up richard@freakyandfree.com
It's so out of date!
It was been pointed out on the Spearhead Music Board that our chords (and also lyrics) are unreliable (incorrect). This
is a communication failing on our part. Also an indication of our slackness. Most of the chords
and lyrics have been sourced from the first (or early) live perfomrance. Some songs have since been commercially released with slight (or major)
changes. It has been an oversight on our part NOT to indicate the source performance of the lyrics or chords. In future we will
endeavour to attribute the source of the lyrics or chords. For example, both the chords and lyrics of Bomb The World were taken
from an early live performance, the lyrics and chords are not an entirely accurate in regard to the CD release.
We have recently posted chords and ltrics to a new song Life-saver. It was posted by loveisdashit.com from a March 30th performance at Santa Rosa.
Who knows, if it will ever recieve an offical CD release and with what differences in lyrics, melody or in key? From now on we will
acknowledge the source of these lyrics (and maybe even update when a commerical release is made!) in order to communicate the accuracy against an officail release.
Over the next few weeks we will attempt to go through the all lyrics and chords to acknowledge their source.
Thanks for your patience and understanding with this!
This site will now focus on lyrics, cd covers for the field
recordings, general info, setlists and past tour info.
If you have any chords or other info please send it in - even if you sent it before! I lost all my old emails as well.

Humbolt State University- Kate Buchanan Hall, Arcata, CaA
8/27/2002
The sold out show in a new venue got started about 15-25 mins. late(Spearhead time) but to a jam packed, hyped crowd. Many people who didn't get tickets in time where outside the
door to the venue dancin' just as hard as if they were in the show. The band cracked right into an unusaul openner, Every Single Soul. A good one to get Bob's(who is sitting in on keys this tour) fingers warmed up and in the groove for the night ahead! Didn't miss a beat going right into What Happens Next, with Radio and Bob playing off each other nicely.
After a breif pause, Carl started laying down the thick reggae bass line for People in the Middle which stoked the crowd aswell as many fine smelling cigarettes! Caught a quick
breathe before jumping back into the groove with Runfayalife with Carl dropping bass into the Skintight Jam and Radio flowin' some freestyles for the new incoming class of
freshmen. A descent transition into Stay Human. The Dave and Carl had a chance to showcase some new toys(guitar and bass effects pedals) that they have recently purchased and boy was it worth the money by the sounds of it! Really giving them a fuller, more professional, bigger sound. Good Things To Come I'm Sure!!!
Michael then takes time to speak with the crowd of students and tells how he enjoyed the day kickin' the soccerball around and then going over tothe gym to shoot some hoops. He goes on to say that Radio found a nice
patch of grass, in a bag, and layed down and enjoyed his day! Then he asks if there is anyone here that had thier first day of college today. "Well, everyday of school is like
this" Michael jokes. Then Dave starts in with the acoustic guitar line for the new fan favorite Never Too Late. Torwards the end of the song,
Michael stops evreyone in the band except Manas on drums and gets the boom-boom-bap, boom-boom-bap rythm from Oueen's "We Will Rock You" going with two stomps from his feet and a clap. The band joins back in to end the song gently with the verse, "Hold to your children, let them know."
Michael grabs his guitar and starts up Feelin' Free which is slowly becoming a long jammed out song with verse from other songs such as "Love Train" and "Exodus" incorperated within. Another short breather and than back into Michael leading of Everyone Deserves Music. Dave really sounding nice adding his little fills and melodies on the electric guitar throughout the song. Michael says, "bring on the drums" as Carl thumps the bass line to What I Be. The crowd erupts as Michael sings, "If I where the seeds, I would give birth to redwood trees". (being in redwood country and all) The transition into Pray for Grace was as smooth as a baby's bottom keep the crowd dancing hard. Manas drumrolls the band into Soulshine from there and then slows it down into another new song, In The Light. The new arrangement of this song and Dave's improving solos have really done it justise and promises to be another big hit! The band takes a break while Radio entertains everyone with his panflute, beatbox routine before the band gets back to Rock the Nation for the last song of the set! The bands leaves the stage for a couple of minutes before coming back out for an encore song or five! Dave slowly plays us back into the tunes with the openning riff to Love Invinsible. Yes I Will followed smoothly as Michael add a verse from Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shinning" at the end of the song. Michael takes a second to promote the
4th annual 911 Power to the Peaceful concert coming up in a week and then plays Bomb the World before asking Dave for some guitar to finish the night with Sometimes.
