Somebody once described my music as 'Hairdresser Pop'. I don't know what that means, I don't know what that sounds like. I do know that it seems appropriate in describing the sound of this record." - Seth Bogart a.k.a HUNX All of the songs on "Hairdresser Blues" were written and arranged by Seth Bogart (Hunx & His Punx, Gravy Train!!!!), who also contributed all of the instrumentation, apart from with the drums, which were performed with atypical restraint by Daniel Pitout of B.C. noise-punk act NÜ SENSAE. "Hairdresser Blues" reunites Bogart with producer Ivan Julian (RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS), who manned the board for HUNX AND HIS PUNX's album "Too Young to Be in Love" (Hardly Art, 2011). Thematically and musically, "Hairdresser Blues" departs from the retro-riffic kitsch and camp of "Too Young to Be in Love". Says Seth, "Sometimes it's hard to sing about something really sad when I'm wasted in a wig and makeup and screaming my head off on stage trying to dazzle people." The songs on "Hairdresser Blues" - inspired, in part, from wee-hours dream-state demo recordings-touch on everything from nasty break-ups to the Bay City Rollers to the death of Bogart's friend and contemporary Jay Reatard. "A lot of this album deals with topics I don't usually write about. I wasn't concerned with entertaining people with these songs. I just wanted to get them out of me." The end product of Bogart's emotional exorcisms is a record that's personal, prismatic, and positively contagious-an eleven-track bouffant of an album with streaks of glam, garage, power pop, and the Dunedin Sound in its hair. "Seth Bogart has Diana Ross star power, raging pipes, and a totally cool skinny moustache." - The A.V. Club "Bogart is a vivid, alluring frontman." -- The New York Times "Hunx is still the Edith Massey in a sea of Katy Perrys - the gayest punk rocker the world has ever seen." - The Stranger
