Hairstylists Fom Outer Space:
They came in their Unidentified Flying Salon & gave all the soldiers at Roswell Air Base amazing futuristic haircuts....oh dear the President wasnt amused! ...they left in a hurry for more fashionably enlightened worlds ..
sorry ,yes another of my silly theatrical instrumentals.. probably the last one I will do as ive decided to write proper songs all this year now ,so you will have to suffer me singing instead!
i adore that twangy surf sound as you must know by now.. but maybe that needs a rest aswell!
if you cant hear the lyrics then youre not meant to :)

Hi Tina. Shame that you're thinking of leaving the surf guitar stuff behind as you have got it absolutely nailed but then again its going to be more than interesting to see what you come up with next. Ah ! Scissors go remarkably well with a his song. It's crazy and zany and full of energy and just love those guitar sounds. What did those aliens do with the presidents hair though ? Now I know why it looks like that :) Smashing stuff as usual Tina
-
Really cool guitar sound! As a song, it's a bit un-songy so I can't really feedback on that...fun, but I'm a miserable git, and I'd love to hear that guitar sound with singing over... Why ditch the surf guitar?
Not sure that 'feedback' will be any use... I like the sound a lot. Great playing!
-
nice one tina, would go a storm live. love the fact that you go from shadows to rock and give each solo its own sonic footprint.
looking forward to your 'proper' songs :-)

Yo Tina.
Surftastic tones by Hank and the Highlights,a choon so brief it's hair today and...well yanno. I'd just managed to get on my feet and arrange the tackle so I don't twang one and..it was over. I'm on my third attempt now,just to get a decent jiggle out of it. Maybe I'll import it into Logic and make it a loop,then there'll be no indecent haste involved. I do hate indecent haste,unless I'm on my motorbike.
Where wuz aye?
Cool jingle young lady. 8)

More evident of your great style the only thing thats missing is vocal sounds without lyrics and of course scissors making up that chorus, great stage presence feel to this 8)

Hey Tina,
Your work just DEMANDS a big audience!! :)
I love the treatment of your ‘theatrical construct’ here very creative, very funny and completed by your awesome guitar…I’m really looking forward to your forthcoming singy work but will miss this fun stuff...

Hi Tina, I can see Uma T dancing to this with a hairdryer on her head as John T follows her around the room with scissors!😉 It has that 50/60's sound quality that sits so well with this style.nice playing love the vibrato as I've said before! Quality.
Cheers

:) Haha beautiful again Tina.
Always a joy, though I am struggling for things to say apart from it being another enjoyable listen and owe inspiring both creatively and in execution.
Always enjoy seeing people mix it up from their comfort zone so looking forward to seeing your interpretation of "proper songs" xD
All the best,
Scott.

Good stuff! So I'm actually transported back to the 1960's and Steve Zodiac is dancing with Zoony and Venus to this ditty in that way only marionettes can. Aliens don't normally have hair according to all the 'evidence' I have seen, so this tune is quite a mythbuster. I'm loving the guitar and you sound like you 'have a screw loose' as my old mum used to say, which is pretty cool in my book.

Hi Tina
Your songs are getting even shorter!
Nothing wrong with that when they got quality.
Proves length doesn't matter. ;D ;D
skub! get yer mind outta the gutter man!
enjoyed it - should be in a movie scene

Absolutely brilliant! Would work great as theme music and your guitar technique and style is exceptional.
Given your way with words, I look forward to hearing your lyrics on upcoming works.
Thanks,
Kevin

Tina, this is as awesome as ever. I really can't think of anything to add to what everyone else has said.
I am also looking forward to what a "proper song" is when coming from your imagination! I can't wait!
-
Hi Tina
Always know I'm going to enjoy your work
before I hear it, and this was no exception ;D
Really like the melodies in this one. They seem
familiar to me somehow. Don't know why.....
never heard anything like this before. ;D ;D
Looking forward to hearing which direction your
'proper' songs will take you
Love your style ;D ;D
xx

Another great (short!) one, Tina and sounds as crazy as ever. :) Love the sound effects. I can just imagine it playing in the background on some kind of UFO-based 80s-style video game. Ever thought of touting your wares to some of the indie games companies....?
Looking forward to your new ones with lyrics. ;D
-
I dont realy want to bump this but I must thank all who listened & commented..
I know theres not a lot you can say about instrumentals realy is there! ...so thanks for trying! :)
im so pleased you got a few seconds of pleasure from it Davy :)
-
Yeah, far too short Tina, and while you're doing your other stuff please post some of your other fab stuff here :)
-
well I'm glad you bumped it because I missed it somehow. great title, i reckon your running a very close second to John for song titles.
as someone said, this could make you some money in the games field,
it's eerily 80's and works very well,
another piece in your very distinct style... :)

Hi Tina
This would make a gem of a B-side.
An unearthed pleasure for those who like to listen beyond an artists more obvious tracks.
Wicked playing as ever. It's quite catchy in its own way.

Myabe no words but full of content. I think I like these more than the spoken word ones as they emphasise the melody, energy and atmosphere.
Very cool and looking forward to what comes next...
-
Hi Tina,
Loved the scissors as percussion effect and the electric hair cutter bit - very inventive. The main source of joy here is the guitar playing and the lovely retro feel you have so brilliantly captured. It would be great if you could add some of your lyrical invention to these instrumentals and make them longer!
Loved it.

Really cool idea, full of cool sounds and effects. Love the snipping of the scissors little alien sort of voices in the background. Did you record all of these sounds yourself?
I look forward to more of these in the future, along with some more serious ones!!!!
Also, I like to ending effect too!
-
Yes, once again distinctively tinam! You really have a unique sound :-)
A very enjoyable listen without and dead spots, lots of stuff happening fram start to end. Catchy and great playing!
And I'm looking forward to hear your "normal" stuff ;D
