Hair Brains was started in Berlin while Liz (guitar\/ vox) and Jessy (drums) were on a European walkabout. Influenced by the early 80’s Danish hardcore band Electric Deads<\/strong> Hair Brains released a rare-as-hens-teeth demo tape, recorded in Lightenberg, Berlin, in October 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in Aotearoa they were joined by Kitt and Selina and started playing shows for a time before breaking up to do other things. Liz and Kitt were already playing in Ayn Randy<\/a><\/strong>, and Jessy was soon drumming in Piggery<\/a><\/strong>. Selina went on to do vocals in blackened crust metal band Bowel Rupture<\/a><\/strong> and later rejoined Kitt as vocalist in short-lived band Intoxo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
