HäirFørce
Throw Whitesnake, Van Halen, Poison, Guns 'n' Roses and a bunch of other 80s bands into a blender, add too much hairspray and tight spandex... and you have HäirFørce!
The European rockers turned the Brown’s Mart Courtyard into a pulsating arena of sweaty goodness in May… but who are they really? MusicNT chats to drummer Krash Jaxxon and bassist Sebastian di Mayo to learn more.

Sebastian: Some people regretting ze 1980s, but not us! If we could go back we not change a thing, so we do not change.
Krash: Only thing we would change about 1980s is make decade go longer.
Sebastian: 1980s have best synthesizers, biggest drums, most widdly diddly guitar, so we stay that way... as true rock intended to be.
