Check out the pictures first! Whether your taste in 1980s music runs from Twisted Sister....
... to Prince...
....to Journey....
...or Alice Cooper...
...or KISS...
... Hairball is for you. Now consider that yes, all of these pictures are of one band!
Minneapolis-based Hairball rocked the World's Only Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD on May 14, 2011. This unusual band includes two lead singers that alternate time on stage with changing costumes to replicate over 20 artist tributes into an action-packed two-hour show.
Along with great musicianship and uncanny impersonations, a huge pyro display completes the illusion that the '80s are still alive. I wondered if anyone had pointed out to these guys that tons of fireworks in a building decorated with corn might create the world's largest Jiffy Pop.
If you liked any of the bands mentioned above or Van Halen, Poison, AC-DC, Bon Jovi, Queen, etc., I highly recommend Hairball's show. It's a ton of fun and actually probably more entertaining than going to see one of those bands by themselves.
For information about where you can catch them, check out the Hairball website. If you're in South Dakota this summer you can catch Hairball at the Aberdeen Pig Out Festival on July 8 and at the Easy Riders Saloon in Sturgis during the Motorcycle Rally on August 8 and 9.
