Hair Rocket – Weird, Art or Both? at The Khyber Jan. 20

What started out as an outpour of heartache and emotion has moved on to become a WOXY Pick of the Year in 2009, and has received a good deal of play on Y-Rock and WEQX! What started out as Chris Blasucci making a music video has since evolved into an intense garage/glam band whose music and performances have been compelling enough to have audience members in attendance volunteer locks of their own hair. So the hair might just fly when Hair Rocket plays music from their debut EP Novelty at The Khyber tonight. Be part of history and donate a lock of your hair, or at least be part of some weird cathartic art ritual! They’ll be joined by indie psych rock quintet Shining TV Screen. The Khyber, 56 S. 2nd St., 9pm, $8, 21+ myspace.com/hairrocketBill McThrill
