High Town Tour
The Knockouts have a home wherever their infectious brand of badly
recorded but beautifully executed music is played, and one or more
young, old or middle-aged listener smiles and nods in the happiness
of some kind of musical empathy.
However, their spiritual home, and indeed their actual home, is
in High Town. Here is a map of High Town, with some of the spiritual
haunts picked out.
What you may notice is that High Town is the place for haircuts,
kebabs and pizza. Shops open up and close down with unnerving frequency.
The one constant is the emphasis on coiffure and fast food. There
is some variety in the food, although visitors to High Town should
be amazed at the varieties of hair cutting establishment. At the
last reckoning, there was one each of; unisex salon, lads mag barbers,
lady salon, Afro specialist, all gear and no customers salon and
a Jesus afro specialist.
High Town residents aren’t the most reliable, although they
are fiercely proud of their haircutting heritage. It’s led
to contention between Tim, who cuts his own hair every two months
with his own machinery, and the rest of the band, who tow the line
and visit at least one of the hair cutting establishments every
week.
There is something magical about High Town – is it the varied,
although largely Hair themed sights, the sounds, the smells? Who
knows, but come with us on this magical journey and via the medium
of the www. we shall transport the sights, sounds and some of the
smells of High Town to your home.
