Hairball

Based in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, Hairball has established itself as a cover band specializing in American stadium rock and 1970s–1980s hard rock. Formed around the turn of the 2000s, Hairball built its identity around a tribute show in which multiple vocalists take turns portraying different rock icons, backed by a fixed instrumental section that ensures sonic continuity. Hairball’s repertoire spans a wide range from glam rock to classic rock anthems, with an emphasis on powerful vocal arrangements, harmonies, and highly theatrical stagecraft supported by costume changes and carefully crafted production. The band primarily performs on club, arena, festival, and large regional event stages across the United States—especially in the Midwest—where Hairball has, over the years, developed an intensive live presence focused on a faithful yet spectacular re-creation of the sound and visual aesthetics of rock from that era.
