Unpowered Pennsylvania shows!
Hello everyone! Happy New Year! After all the fun and noise of Hair Rocket I recorded a solo acoustic EP called Unpowered Pennsylvania. I will be performing these songs along with Hair Rocket material at the end of January! On 1/30, and 1/31 I’ll be at Soupcon Salon where you eat and drink and I serenade you. Go to the site and check out the scene of this awesome French Bistro turned Vegan for the night. On February 1, come out to the Sidewalk Cafe at 7pm for my NYC solo debut. Right now you can get the music at CD Baby and custom discs will be available at the shows.

Deli Philadelphia reviews Hair Rocket's "Novelty"
Listening to Novelty the self-released EP by Hair Rocket forced me to come once again face-to-face with my last breakup. Like any good breakup, it’s equal parts dark, mysterious and bizarre. Despite the deeply personal nature of the lyrics, they are no less relatable. Chris Blasucci (former multi-instrumentalist for Aderbat) wrote and released Novelty after a particularly messy split. The chaos that he endured is shared for all to hear on his debut album. First of all, Blasucci is not only creating subversive and introspective music, he is also starting a Hair Rocket movement. One where participants remove locks of their own hair, attach them to projectiles and then unleash these projectiles into the atmosphere, thus, giving you an elevated perspective – pretty twisted stuff. Novelty is Blasucci’s Hair Rocket. Instrumentally heavy, the album has an abstract quality. You never know where the next track will lead you. Songs shift between having simple melodies with barely there drums keeping time in the background like “Come Here Be Near” to the aptly titled “Electrical” where you could swear your toaster fell into the bathwater. But why the hell would your toaster be in your bathroom anyways? In the world of Hair Rocket, it all makes sense. That’s what listening to Novelty does to you. You connect with Hair Rocket, even if you don’t understand what is going on. With this EP, we are introduced to what can happen when a Berklee dropout takes what he has learned, what he has felt and what he has tolerated, smashes them all together and hopes for the best. Lucky for us, the result pretty much kicks ass. You can check out and download Noveltyhere for FREE. He also has limited edition vinyl that comes with some goodies available at Insound. myspace.com/hairrocket - Meaghan McCafferty
