Sweethead is an American alternative rock group formed in 2008. The group's lineup consists of singer Serrina Sims and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Troy Van Leeuwen (of Queens of the Stone Age, formerly of A Perfect Circle, Enemy and Failure). For recording and touring they are joined by a variety of guest musicians, many of which are current or former members of Queens of the Stone Age or Mark Lanegan Band.
Sweethead have released two studio albums - Sweethead (2009) and Descent To The Surface (2016), and one extended play – The Great Disruptors (2009).
Having played with Eddie Nappi (formerly of Handsome) and Norm Block (formerly of Plexi) in the Mark Lanegan Band (Nappi was also part of his previous group Enemy) while also writing material with singer Serrina Sims over the years,Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen formed Sweethead in 2008. The group's name was taken from the David Bowie song "Sweet Head" with Van Leeuwen stating that "I think band names are becoming sillier and sillier. That song just seemed to encapsulate what we thought of ourselves." The band, in 2009, toured as part of Snow Patrol's Taking Back the Cities Tour playing in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France from May 18 through to June 2.
