Official Fan Site: Haysi Recollections
Just thought I'd turn on the nostalgia machine tonight. As I'm digitizing my vinyl collection, I'd almost forgotten that I owned this! Way back in 1981 Jeremy Healy and Kate Garner along with Paul Caplin created the 'undergroundish' group Haysi Fantayzee. While the group did really well overseas, even breaking into radio rotation, they just never quite caught the mainstream over here in the states for some reason. The only place you could find them was on Mtv's 120 minutes late on Sunday night and that didn't last for longer either. It's rare that I get nostalgic about a band, but Haysi just sort of fit that unique mold that causes them to never quite break out beyond a few ears. Whether singing about the apocalypse or John Wayne's racism, the band's lyrics were probably the thing that kept them a little inaccessible to the mainstream audiences here in the states.
If you're interested in what ever happened to these 'interesting' looking performers, check the links below to see what they're currently up to.
Ladies and gentlemen? Haysi Fantayzee!
