In this podcast, you can find out the answer to the gripping question: What came first? The cool name or the music performed associated with it?

Kevin Hurstell(pron. “Her-stell” and incorrectly by me in this interview) has logged time in a few notable bands/projects(Slobot, Otasco, Frozen Bears) that endeared themselves to passionate music fans from Lafayette to New Orleans.

Calvin Hairstyle is basically all Kevin…oops I mean “Calvin”, from start to finish of the debut experimental recording. Even when actual drums are played. Don’t look for sameness from track to track here, ears with peripheral tastes are encouraged. The debut disc is titled “Fried Ice”.

There have been live shows performed primarily at Jon Loubie’s house in Baton Rouge under the name “Calvin Hairstyle & Fried Ice”.

This podcast is pretty surreal. It was recorded at Red Star in Baton Rouge on a Tuesday night at 9pm. Who would’ve thought a progressive symphonic quartet would have been booked there on that night, that early? Our apologies to anyone there that might’ve been offended by doing a podcast interview while the music was in progress. They actually sound pretty good.
