HAIRBANGERS BALL-GENDER

The gender of the band Hairbangers Ball is very noticeable as to who wins the majority.  The guys definitely out weigh the girls in the band.  There is only one girl in this performance group, but don't count her out, she really knows how to hold her own with the guys.  Polly Pants has quickly become one of the most popular if not the most popular.  She is known for her revealing outfits and that is what attracts the guys to her at her shows.  I think that this is very reflective of the time that they are singing.  In the 80's it was still a man's world in the band world.  Most of the more popular bands from that era like Bon Jovi, Journey, Poison, the Styx were all made up of men.  There were artist like Madonna, Pat, and Cyndi Lauper who were really popular as well but they were single.  Fleetwood Mac did however have Stevie Nicks.  I don't think that the gender of the band effects the gender o Benatard f the crowds that come to see their shows.  They are not a gender driven group that are considered to be sex symbols.  They are more about the music and capturing the true essence of the time.  If you were to go to see one of their shows, I think that you would be able to find a good mix of approximately half and half, both male and female.  It really isn't about the gender of the crowd that they are attracting it is about the amount of the crowd that they are attracting.  They are very popular in Carbondale and many many people have become groupies of them.  I think that it is safe to say that Hairbangers Ball will always have a home and a fan crazed crowd in the university town of Carbondale.  Hairbangers, keep doing what you do.  In the words of Journey "Don't Stop Believing."...in your Carbondale audience!
