New Mullet on Monday - Wire Train

Kevin Hunter, lead singer and guitarist of Wire Train, had a mullet, and in the video for I'll Do You, is even seen primping it...


I'll Do You (1984)

Wire Train originally formed in San Fransisco under the name The Renegades, and was active from 1983-1993. The band released five albums and, in the eighties, toured with, among others, Big Country, INXS, The Alarm, and The Waterboys. Around 1990, the band opened for Bob Dylan.

The band played a reunion show in 2003 for an episode of VH1's Bands Reunited series that never aired. According to Hunter, the reason is that there was originally a different host (apparently before Aamer Haleem) who was fired after the taping of the Wire Train episode.

Wiretrain.co.uk, a fan site, has a detailed biography and also has a page detailing the exploits of the band members post break-up.
