On Friday we held our first Jugend Klub at our new venue, The Victoria in Birmingham city centre, and it was a triumph! Right up until the moment the band stopped playing and everyone went to get a cigarette and didn't come back. The band in question were Fuck Your Haircut. Perhaps not an obvious choice to bring in the punters (their music has a somewhat "polarising" effect on the audience, in fact about a quarter of the room left after their first song) but, inspired by the spirit of Factory Records, we decided to put them on anyway.
Fuck Your Haircut are a punk/thrash outfit who play 30 second odes to WWF era wrestlers and Star Wars characters and verbally abuse the audience between songs with the most peverse language imaginable, so perhaps it was to be expected that they wouldn't be to everyone's tastes. However, for those who liked it enough to stick around, and the fans they brought with them, it was an energetic, unconceited, tastless yet endearing and occasionally hilarious performance.
