Combining light funk with frothy pop, Haircut 100 was one of the cleanest and most accessible new wave groups. Formed in 1980, the British band's core members were vocalist Nick Heyward, bassist Les Nemes, and guitarist Graham Jones.
The band exploded on the UK music scene in 1981, just as the new wave boom was peaking. Success came quickly. The Haircuts appeared on Top of the Pops several times and graced the covers of British pop magazines Smash Hits, Record Mirror, New Musical Express, and they even had their own comic strip.

The band released their debut album, Pelican West, in early 1982. Their next single, Love Plus One, was a bigger hit, making the band one of the hottest British pop groups of the year.
However, their momentum crashed to a halt when Nick Heyward decided to pursue a solo career and following that Haircut 100 could not replicate their previous success; they broke up after the release of their second album, 1984's Paint and Paint.
In 2022 they announced they would reform for a 40th Anniversary show in celebration of their debut album.
