![]() Nolan is embarrassed by his meth head look. Roosters are sassy and Nolan respects sass. Yeah, he’s not a prime time player, like a cow, but he is happy to settle for rooster. He wants nothing more than to become a barnyard animal. ![]() Nolan sometimes calls this look “The Michael Scott.” He says it made him feel powerful but relatable, in a limited, “everyman” sort of way. The “Middle Management” look is one that Nolan was very proud of. One nice feature of Nolan’s hair has been its versatility. And so, I present you with “A Photo Retrospective of a Baby-Boy Wolverine.” This will probably end up as a gallery show at the Met, but you saw it here first. Before his new look is revealed in tomorrow’s post, I wanted to take a look back at the glory that has been Nolan’s hair during the first 7 months of his life. We have taken the plunge and cut Nolan’s hair. A childhood unencumbered by a baby mullet. Hair so luxurious that we have fielded offers from the Hair Club for Men, hoping to land Nolan as the “Youthful Face of the Operation.” Offers that we had to turn down on account of the fact that we do not want to make our son a target for angry, balding men nationwide.Īlas, the time finally came to tame the mane, and give our little boy a shot at a normal childhood. A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS more than deserve their place in British pop history.If you have been following this blog, even loosely, it may have come to your attention that Nolan has hair that would make an orangutan jealous. When things were good, it was glorious at Dingwalls and while some may only remember the iconic haircut rather than the music, what A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS have proven is they have a number of great songs which more than stand up in the 21st Century.Īnd unlike say OMD, DEPECHE MODE and SIMPLE MINDS, they also have a Grammy Award on the mantelpiece. There was no ‘D.N.A.’ or ‘(It’s Not Me) Talking’ but on the whole, the crowd were entertained and satisfied. Backed by his usual North American band of guitarist Gordon Deppe from Canadian New Wavers SPOONS, drummer Kevin Rankin and bass player Patrick Villalpando, the debut album opener was followed by ‘Hearts On Fire’ from 1995’s ‘The Light At the End Of The World’ which had the classic air of ‘Space Age Love Song’ about it. Standing behind a Roland Fantom 06 outputting crystal clear electronic sounds, Mike Score took his position to begin A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS’ performance with the vintage Sci-Fi rock of ‘Modern Love Is Automatic’. The slinky ‘What’s Your Poison?’ appropriately threw in some sunset sax at the riverside venue, before the catchy ‘Dollars & Cents’ closed an impressive warm-up on an already hot Saturday evening. Meanwhile, the snappy ‘Alligator’ provided an amusing observation on the phenomenon of one-sided conversations. ‘Julia’ offered a more romantic take on the appealing KNIGHT$ sound while presenting a token of musical friendship to the audience, there was an authentic rendition of PET SHOP BOYS’ ‘Heart’. Playing the role of the perfect beat boy, Knights was slightly restrained physically, thanks to the small stage, but he made every effort to engage the audience with his brand of BRONSKI BEAT inspired Britalo like the amorous ‘Gelato’. Today, Mike Score is the only remaining member from the original line-up which included his brother Ali on drums, bassist Frank Maudsley and guitarist Paul Reynolds. Notably his hair is now absent, while his scouse accent has mutated into a Trans-Atlantic drawl from years of living stateside.ĭingwalls in Camden was packed for the second London date of A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS’ first headlining UK tour for many years and opening proceedings was KNIGHT$ whose debut album ‘Dollars & Cents’ has been one of the contenders for best album of 2019.įronted by the suave and charismatic James Knights, dressed in a black leather jacket and sequined shirt combo, he began support set with Eurobeat thrust of ‘What We Leave Behind’ and the heavenly pop ‘Playin It Cool’. Greek synth duo MARSHEAUX even borrowed the main riff from ‘Space Age Love Song’ for their signature tune ‘Dream Of A Disco’. While frontman Mike Score’s outlandish hair style was honoured in Hollywood with comic references in ‘Friends’, ‘The Wedding Singer’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’, their fourth single ‘I Ran’ has been a ubiquitous staple, appearing in commercials for Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Sensationail, Diet Pepsi and Lexus. Out of the bands that emerged post-Synth Britannia, A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS were among those to actually make a worldwide cultural impact, initially gaining traction in the US via the cable phenomenon of MTV.
