They are an "Indie pop band with a bubblegum flavour", or so they say on their MySpace page. They are The Bobbleheads with members John Ashfield, Phil Bulan, Patrick Ennis and Kevin Gersevitz. Their influences are early alternative rock and "anything that was played on AM radio in the early 1970s and New Wave". You can listen to a few of their songs as well as see a video of them playing live. They also have a CD out called Automatic Fun (CDBaby).

Here's a description of The Bobbleheads from CDBaby "The Bobbleheads have created a niche of niceness in which they rule. They originally hail from various seemingly well to do backgrounds, are well educated and thus, are happily dysfunctional. Now living in San Francisco, CA, John, Phil, and Eugene's origins are geographically-different-but-the-same-wherever-you-go suburbia with malls, chain stores and endless parking. Their musical influences, however, range from 'Flower Power Pop' to 'Experimental Chamber Music'. They play a standard guitar-drums-bass combo, but their unique style makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly what records are in their record collection. They are outcasts from outcasts, not being accepted by people who subscribe to the current definitions of hip, cool, indie, or alternative, although their music is much more along those lines. They are happy music geeks, pushing to make the perfect 2-minute song, not being burdened by mundane problems and having fun along the way. According to The Bobbleheads, the world isn't such a bad place after all".
