This mind-bending musical mission through intergalactic space follows the misadventures of Tralfamadorian space ace, HeadEye, and his intrepid interplanetary crew. Awaiting us are daring exploits, dastardly villains, dramatic thrills, and perhaps the most terrifying thing of all – love. Bringing to life the music of Jason E.R. Hedrington, HeadEye will take you to the furthest reaches of the universe (and your imagination!) as our heroes explore not only the galaxy, but also what it means to be alive.
