Just A Little Off The Top, Please
NEW YORK-YO! Arise from your slimy loaflife pits, collect your wits, and prepare to meet six young men who go under the name Haircut One Hundred. Founding Barbers Nick Heyward (lead vocals, guitar, songs), Graham Jones (guitar), and Les Nemes (bass) had little contact with the music business or the "rock lifestyle" when they began practicing in Nick's room.

NEW YORK-YO! Arise from your slimy loaflife pits, collect your wits, and prepare to meet six young men who go under the name Haircut One Hundred. Founding Barbers Nick Heyward (lead vocals, guitar, songs), Graham Jones (guitar), and Les Nemes (bass) had little contact with the music business or the "rock lifestyle" when they began practicing in Nick's room. Graham was a photo printer, Nick and Les were commercial artists. The clan later grew to include Mark Fox, who taught German to teens but also happened to be quite a percussionist, Phil Smith (sax), and Blair Cunningham (drums), who were the only two with any track record in the biz having played with everyone from Pauline Black to Isaac Hayes between them. Nick dubbed the band Haircut One Hundred because it was silly and therefore didn't sound like your basic rock band. Escaping rock cliches has become the latest thing in England, but in the Haircut's case it seems logical rather than contrived.
