Noise Not Music are proud to present Hair Police in their first ever Irish performance.

Hair Police are an American psychedelic noise rock band based out of Lexington, Kentucky who formed in 2001. The current line up is Mike Connelly (also plays with Wolf Eyes) on guitar, vocals, tapes , Robert Beatty on electronics, and Trevor Tremaine on drums, vocals & tapes (both also play with Burning Star Core).
They have released records through labels such as No Fun Productions, Troubleman Unlimited, Hanson Records, Gods of Tundra, Freedom From and Hospital Productions. Working with traditional rock instrumentation as well as electronics, tape manipulation, and oscillators, Hair Police builds demonic walls of sound for a result reminiscent of Throbbing Gristle, early Black Dice, and Wolf Eyes. They just released their latest album "Certainty Of Swarms" on No Fun Productions which made the critics top lists in 2008 including being named one of The Wire's Top 10 Avant Rock albums of the year.
