Videos portrayed the band (Heyward, guitar/vocals; Les Nemes, bass; Graham Jones, guitar; Phil Smith, saxophone; Mark 'Ilford' Fox, percussion; Blair Cunningham, drums) basking by cricket pitches sporting chunky-knit jumpers and hiking boots. All of which was distilled into the Haircuts' peculiarly 1980s pop vision: clean, cute, fresh and about as far from the hoary clichés of rockism as it's possible to get. If their music and image owed as much to the Beatles of a <I>A Hard Day's Night</I> as the burgeoning jazz-funk scene headed by Level 42, Heyward's surrealist bent (he once told a bewildered <I>Smash Hits</I> his ideal home would be "inside a huge transparent stone") ensured their sole album, <I>Pelican West</I>, remains a delight of jangling guitars and country-club funk. - Paul MoodyNew Waveen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:53:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6128&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fhaircut-100%2Fplaylists.rss In interviews Haircut 100's Nick Heyward would often boast of the bands distinctly non-rock'n'roll backgrounds in graphic design, advertising and media.
