HAIRLIP

80’s revival at the Barnyard.

If you were a child of the 80’s, prepare for a retro-revival at The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway for one night only when Hairlip return to the venue on June, 7, after a sold-out show at the venue last year.

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. Hairlip promises to perform everyone’s favourite 80’s tunes, non-stop, full throttle and slicker than Rick James on an aqua-plain! The Barnyard will not have had this much rug cut since MJ taught JT how to moonwalk!

Expect 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 who could forget Transvision Vamp’s I Want Your Love?

Rubber-stamping this 80’s tribute band is East Coast Radio’s Jane Linley-Thomas, “I have to be honest, by many a leap and bound, Hairlip was the hottest collection of musical talent at Splashy Fen 2009. They stole the show and the stage, too!“

Hairlip is made up of the following 80’s-cool characters: Toby Needham-Clark (vocals, guitar and just-can’t-get-enough vibes); Bullet Mayfield (guitar, vocals and underneath-the-radar cool); Bopsy Bought-Won (bass and all-I-ever-needed groove), Sheeba Deveraux (keyboards, synthesizers, vocals and pure-and-simple-every-time chic) and Trent Duvall (drums and everything counts-in-large-amounts suave).
