Kiwi rock act Headless Chickens, fronted by former NZ Idol judge Fiona McDonald, have announced they will reform for an Australian music festival.
The Headless Chickens, featuring original members McDonald and Chris Matthews, will perform at Australia's Homebake Festival in Sydney on December 6.
The band released three albums: 1988's Stunt Clown, 1993's Body Blow and 1997's Greedy.
They were known for the singles Cruise Control, Mr Moon, Donde Esta la Pollo and the No. 1 hit George.
Other bands performing at Homebake include Crowded House, Cut Copy, Pnau and The Vines.

yeah i agree, mac WAS NOT an original member of the chicks on stunt clown, gasfrankenstaten EP or the headless chickens S/T album. I for one wish they could reform the original lineup. Although the headless chickens gained commercial success with Mac sharing the singing duties, in my opinion the addition of her ruined the musical integrity of the band. Up until her addition the band was NZ's version of the Butthole Surfers (my opinion again of course).....please please please reform without the Mac, but if it's gonna keep her off those Ads....ummmmm
Is the self titled debut release not counted as an album??
hahahaha read the article properly people:
"The Headless Chickens, featuring original members McDonald and Chris Matthews, will perform..."
The article doesnt state Fiona McDonald was an original band member. It does say she fronts the band:
"Kiwi rock act Headless Chickens, fronted by former NZ Idol judge Fiona McDonald..."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. thats what happens when you comment on things you havent read properly
Fiona McDonald was not an original member of the Headless Chickens - she joined several years after the band first formed. Always pays to do your research....
Homebake festival? scuse me... no doubt Fi will be giving Chris a quick makeover before they go on... he'll need it after so many years living in Dunedin!
One of the very coolest and most talented acts this country ever produced. The "Chicken" never left the building!
Does this mean her awful ads will stop? (Please??)
What do you mean 'Original Members' - Fiona McDonald wasn't an original member - unless the information John Dix conveys in 'Stranded in Paradise (rev ed) is incorrect - recounting IIRC how cool McDonald thought Headless Chickens were prior to her joining.
Certainly, McDonald never appeared on the Stunt Clown album...
Of course, I could be horribly wrong...
