After we excitedly (and weirdly) reported on Hair Police's first stateside tour in almost two years, the band has unfortunately announced its cancellation. Aside from the Ann Arbor show this Saturday (March 15), the remaining tourdates have been quashed after the band "ran into some insane blizzard conditions south of Columbus, Ohio on I-71 and totaled [their rental] car after a run in with a tractor trailer," according to band member Robert Beatty.
Luckily, Hair Police left the scene unharmed, with only minor damage to music equipment. And since they had time to kill when stranded in a Ohio hotel, they even recorded "a completely desperate, warped, and sparse session," which will eventually be released under the entirely appropriate title, Totaled and Stranded. Meanwhile, their tour-only merchandise will now be made available at Troubleman Unlimited's store in the coming weeks.
And just so you're updated with all things related to Hair Police: Troubleman Unlimited will release their newish album, The Empty Quarter, on vinyl soon; a newer, as-yet untitled album will be released on No Fun Productions later this year; and Tone Filth will be releasing Robert Beatty's Living Order/Mourning Order (under the name Three Legged Race) sometime this spring. You should buy ‘em all.
