Haircut 100 was a pop-
New Wave band formed in
1980 (
1980 in music) by
Nick Heyward[?],
Les Nemes[?] and
Graham Jones[?] with
Phil Smith[?],
Mark Fox[?] and
Memphis Blair Cunningham[?]. They were successful from the beginning, with
1981's (
1981 in music) "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)", setting the stage for the breakthrough success of
Pelican West[?] in
1982 (
1982 in music). "Love Plus One" was even bigger than anything previous, and Haircut 100 seemed poised for stardom just as Heyward decided to seek a solo career. The remainder of the band tried to continue with
Paint and Paint[?] in
1984, but they broke up soon after (see
1984 in music).
