Hair Rocket is a band that began representing Hair Rocketing: subversive enlightenment through cathartic art. The slogan is “We cut, We light, and We release”. Founded by accident in 2008 by Chris Blasucci in the process of making a music video about a man that decides to elude formal structures and explore ideas. Performances include Chris leading his up power/garage/pop band and as acting practitioner, prompting the audience to participate with magic tools and volunteer locks of hair that are attached to a rocket which forms the pagan idol Hermes, a patron of boundaries for the traveler who crosses them; followers meet via the web at an online museum to see their live rocket launched and documented chronologically.
