HAIRLIP 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 cover band Hairlip return to the venue on November 29, after two sold-out show at the venue in the last two years.

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! 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.

Audiences can 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?.

Hairlip includes 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).

Tickets R120 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.
