With “Hair” Phillip Boa And The Voodooclub released one of the most important German indie rock albums of the late 80s/ early 90s in January 1989. A prime example of stylistic experimentation, spun storytelling and creative stubbornness, with which Boa has established its status as a vehement anti-pop star untermauerte.Im In April, the Longplay milestone will be released as a remastered and extended anniversary edition, which contains, in addition to the original album, other recordings with brand new songs, a previously unreleased concert recording as well as exclusive rarities, bonus tracks and session outtakes!Uncompromising, eccentric and unpredictable – a reputation as a highly functional loner, which preceded Phillip Boa and his voodoo club at the latest since the third work “Copperfield”, which was released in 1988, and which the formation also confirmed on their album successor “Hair”. With their experimental mix of indie rock, post punk and art pop, the band delighted not only the German but also the critical UK audience, while the creators continued to deny themselves any suspicion of commercial success. A balancing act between art and commerce, which became more and more difficult with every radio play by renowned tastemakers such as John Peel and Co. “After two beautiful indie albums, ‘Copperfield’ was a small breakthrough. At the same time, the artistic figure Phillip Boa was slowly becoming bigger than me as an individual,“ says the Voodooclub mastermind, looking back on a schizophrenic creative phase. “I’ve never been an entertainer or a rock star. I still lack this gene to this day. When ‘Container Love’ became a hit, we turned down a series of invitations to important TV and radio shows.“ It hardly helped, as you know. Cult status against will.
