The Hair Syndicate performes at Big Stix











A night at Big Stix




when you are out and about in the St Louis area, check out Big Stix located in Breese Illinois. I went there tonight at the request of my new friend Stacie Lane. She introduced me to a band that was gracious enough to allow me to photo them while they were performing. The Hair Syndicate is an 80's cover band playing songs from the greats like Boston, Skid Row, Poison, And Warrant. The group consist of Chad Hayes lead vocals and guitar, Tom Diamond guitar, Laurie Diamond Bass and Dave Wilson on Drums. The band is the best cover band that I have heared in many years. the sets were well balanced the licks were right on. The drummer Dave well his talent is unexpected and superb the best drummer i have heard live for some time. Tom really has the hair for the group and the ability,and the skill to make you believe that you are back in the 80's again. Laurie is a skilled and very focused musician. It was hard for me to get a photo of her with a smile (but I got one ,thanks Laurie). Chad Hayes is a great musical talent for the face and front of the band. For more information on booking or where to see the Hair Syndicate check out www.myspace.com/thehairsyndicate. A special thanks to the band, Stacie, and to Big Stix for allowing me to take photos in there establishment.
