Fresh off the early spring festival circuit (SXSW, Snowball), everyone’s favorite follicly-inclined band is preparing for a tour! Preparations include hours at the warrior’s salon, intensive strand-to-strand combat training, and a final application of extra-hold spray for that sought-after helmet shape and texture. They will be ready; the question is: will you?
For those of you who can’t wait until late next month to see Gauntlet Hair in action, the band have just released a live performance video produced by the Portland, Oregon based production studio Into The Woods. The video finds Gauntlet Hair in Portland’s premiere Thunderdome-esque space — under an overpass. While the video focuses on the band performing the track “Lights Out,” the real drama took place off camera. The location was selected after an approved location fell through, the cops showed up, and the team behind the project was left with only a half hour to complete the shoot. The countdown started ticking and it was a real test against the clock. Gauntlet Hair, ever ready for a tense battle, rose to the occasion and played their tune like pros. Check it out here, and then go see them battle is out next month.
