The torsos continue to tour at irregular intervals.

In the current (live) line-up, who toured Europe and the USA, long-time members Gene Lake (drums) and Fima Ephron (bass) were made famous by Skoota Warner and Steve Jenkins, respectively. On the 2005 CD, which in turn merged influences from jazz, soul, funk, ska and metal, Bowman as well as Bremner and Best could be heard. In addition to rapper Ahmed Best, Freedom Bremner is also part of the current cast in the position of singer. It contains the appearance from the Knitting Factory in New York City in 1996, which was also released on DVD in 2005. Great commercial success in Japan led to the release of a live album on the Japanese label VideoArtsMusic in 1996, which was re-released in 2001, this time also in the USA and Europe. This was followed by a tour of Europe, Japan and North America, after which singer Dean Bowman took time out, for example to work with Charlie Hunter and Elliott Sharp, and was temporarily replaced by Freedom Bremner. Shortly afterwards, the Swiss drummer Jojo Mayer resigned and was replaced by Gene Lake. It was praised by Musician Magazine as a successful example of mixing jazz with hard guitar riffs.

Fiuczynski's style of guitar playing is characterized by the use of double neck guitars, which are equipped with a conventional and a fretless neck.Īfter his successful collaboration with John Medeski on the album Lunar Crush in 1994, which also included SHT members Fima Ephron, Jojo Mayer and the later drummer Gene Lake, Fiuczynski succeeded in making the debut album Screaming Headless Torsos by his band of the same name in May 1995 at Warner Music. The band is part of his numerous musical projects, in addition to his solo activities and his work as a studio musician for artists such as John Zorn, Vernon Reid, Meshell Ndegeocello, Ce Ce Peniston or Hiromi Uehara, and his tours with Stewart Copeland and Cuong Vu in recent years. Fiuczynski emphasizes, however, that this is a collaborative project in which all band members contribute their ideas. Guitarist and jazz musician David Fiuczynski (* 1964), currently a professor at Berklee College of Music, founded the band in 1989 after completing his bachelor's degree in music at the renowned New England Conservatory.
