Flying Hair
Haunted Hangout Ii
Flying Hair is Bobby Martin, Kurt Mangum, and Matthew Clark. They are a newly formed band from LA. Bobby Martin was a founding member and drummer/vocalist of Zig Zags. Matthew Clark played in Premonition 13. Flying Hair creates heavily riffed and demented jams. Creepiness abounds with these unusual sounds, while a surprisingly catchy pop sensibility emerges from a wave of weirdness and groove. Flying Hair just might be the best band in Los Angeles right now, don't be left out in cold on this one. Haunted Hangout II was recorded by bass virtuoso and studio wiz Dan Horne at his home studio in Echo Park and was mixed by Black Bananas guitarist and tech mastermind Brian McKinley. Flying Hair drummer Matthew Clark has grown the enterprise of his Casual Acid Tea label to finally issue the band's first statement on vinyl. After a first run of band-duped cassettes were snapped up at gigs in California - and south of the border - Casual Acid Tea offered a proper cassette release of Haunted Hangout II, which caught acclaim from rock critics and clamor for vinyl from weirdo collectors as far flung as Finland and Australia. "Flying Hair is immersed in the queasy-uneasy tension between blast-damaged nuthin-fancy stoner rock and that span of the 70s when heavy psych and creepy prog overlapped cuz they were all watching the same horror movies on the same downer." -Chris Ziegler
