Taking a different Haircut on Hive with Haircut 100!

Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers!

There could only be one band today!

Judging by Nano Banana's attempts to turn me into Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 I am that sloth with a quiff @slothlydoesit

Talking of Haircut 100 that's our band today in ttt!

I made a post a couple of weeks ago My Soundtrack for the 80s my favourite decade

Quite a self-explanatory title and it is my inspiration for the next few posts on ttt!

Next up is a band that released a banger of a debut algum in 1981

The Band - Haircut 100

For this week's #ThreeTuneTuesday, I’m switching gears from the gritty streets of the Mod Revival where I posted about the Jam to the bright world of Haircut 100.

Hailing from Beckenham in south-east London, these lads were pretty fluffing good at we called "New Pop" in the early 80s. While the charts were full of synth-heavy acts, Haircut 100 who were led by the charismatic Nick Heyward, yes that was my reference on the lead image, had a fun blend of guitars and brass sections that made you want to move. They were sharp and a bit boy next door lol!

What makes them perfect for my #TTT selection this weekis their name.

As we on Hive are currently navigating the HBD Haircut rule, I couldn't think of a more apt soundtrack!

Weller of the Jam had his gritty commentary, but Heyward had a knack for capturing the sunny, optimistic side of British youth culture.

Just like my lastt #ttt and The Jam, they burned brightly and briefly, with the original lineup famously splintering at the very height of their success in 1983.

Nick Heyward just like Paul WEller went on to a stellar solo career, but that moment in 1982 when they ruled the airwaves was when they were at their absolute best!

Perfect UPbeat tunes for the crypto carnage

Yep forget those red markets and be happy and have a fantastic daaaaay!
