Haircut 100 in Los Angeles

Haircut 100 are a British pop band formed in Beckenham, south-east London, in 1980. Their bright new-wave sound is shaped by funk guitar, prominent bass and brass, and the debut album Pelican West produced their best-known songs: “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl),” “Love Plus One” and “Fantastic Day.” In 2004, the original lineup reunited for VH1’s Bands Reunited and performed together again after more than two decades. At a 2023 anniversary concert at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Haircut 100 played Pelican West in full; later that year, they undertook their first tour of the UK and Ireland in more than 40 years.
