Redd Kross has got to have one of the most spectacular stage shows in the history of rock ’n’ roll. It’s not the dizzying glitter and paisley outfits these four guys wrap themselves in as they rumble across small L.A. stages. And they certainly haven’t resorted to such tired gimmicks as light shows and flash pots. What it is, you see, is their hair.
