Why Have Beatles Mania When You Can Have Hair Police Mania!!?? Hair Police Tours Europe with Family

·

Fuck The Beatles!! There, I said it. Now let's move on to an important matter. Hair Police are jetting out to Europe to battle all this mania with their pals Family Battle Snake. These boys will be UK trippin' for a mere week, jaunting around Europe, pissin' all over Abbey Road, and burning every Beatles record they stumble upon. For this tour, both Hair Police and Family Battle Snake will have special tour edition LPs put out by Harbinger Sound -- Hair Police with Stay In Bodies, and Family Battle Snake with Glass Face Island. Each LP will be in an edition of 100, so you'd better act quick on these since, unlike all those crappy Beatles records, they won't be reissued a million times with mutliple remastered versions in mono and stereo.

The tour will kick off in Bristol and conclude in Glasgow, followed by one final Hair Police gig in Dublin and three more solo dates for Family Battle Snake, finishing up in Manchester. The two groups are also playing the very first No Fun Fest Sweden with a whole gang of noisemakers, including Wolf Eyes, Burning Star Core, Prurient, Emeralds, and so many more. Family Battle Snake are playing September 18, while Hair Police are closing out the fest September 20.

So if you're lucky enough to catch these dudes in action, make sure and pick up one of their limited tour LPs and avoid at all costs picking up any of the Beatles reissues.
