HAIRLIP FOR ONE PERFORMANCE

One performance only of 80’s retro-revival at Barnyard Theatre.

If you were a child of the 80’s, prepare for a retro-revival at The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway for one night only with Hairlip on November 2.

“Every once in a while the world needs a super-group to come along that feels like more than just a band, more than just an institution, more than simply, a vibe. It is THE vibe!,” says the publicity material. “With a band line-up that is as impressive as the hits they have spawned, or rather, should have, Hairlip is nothing short of a phenomenon. Mind-blowing, mercurial and mesmerising, they are the epitome of pompous cool and grandiose sex appeal, fuelled by an endless barrage of foot-stomping 80’s pop and underground class.”

Expect to hear favourite 80’s hits such as Starship’s We Built This City, The Bangles’ Walk Like An Egyptian, Sade’s Smooth Operator, The Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy, Depeche Mode’s Just Can't Get Enough, The Cure’s Friday I'm In Love, Underworld’s Underneath The Radar, Men At Work’s Who Can It Be Now and Transvision Vamp’s I Want Your Love?

Hairlip features Toby Needham-Clark and Bullet Mayfield (vocals and guitar); Bopsy Bought-Won (bass); Sheeba Deveraux (keyboards, synthesizers, vocals) and Trent Duvall (drums).

Tickets R115 pp. For bookings and enquiries, phone The Barnyard Theatre on 031 566 3045, e-mail gateway@barnyardtheatres.co.za or visit www.barnyardtheatres.co.za for more information.
