The Five-Perm Discount

A generous benefactor sent us this one, and we unfortunately have since lost all the details regarding it, so we are as clueless as you are (or maybe aren't). Just like the good ol' days when I started this blog.

But we couldn't say no to this beauty. As far as '80s metal bands go, these dudes are pretty well put together. They've got the leather, the denim, the bullet belts and, good lord, hair that goes for days. And it's all lovingly tousled, teased and, no doubt, lacquered with Aqua-Net.

We may be conjecturing when we suggest that there was some perming (is that a word?) involved as well, but we can't help but think some of those coiffs are a little, uh, manufactured. But a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do if he wants to vaguely look like a lady. We just wonder if indeed they all did get perms, if they got a five-for-one low price deal.

Anyway, please tell me who this band is.

OK, I've been derelict in my duties regarding responding to these. So, let's start from the top. No, it is not:

Sepultura
Lion
Omen
Maxx Warrior

All good guesses, but all incorrect.

I recognize that top photo. I'm currently making a record with that Kurt Smith guy. We just got back from a mini-tour that made the Blues Brothers' tour look tame. LOL!

I never see a picture of Duncan in the Hollow Instinct band photos? I haven't seen him in years. I miss those spontaneous liquid leads from that guy. :)

Take care,

Raul

Hey Raul-

There are some photos of HI with Duncan over at the band's Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/hollowinstinct.

You gotta get me a copy of your record when it's done.
