Facing The Chop With TODD HANSEN From KING PARROT

Todd Hansen is one of those rare breed of musicians that is just
plain nice.
Almost too nice.
Known, loved and respected for bashing the skins with bands like
Headkase, The Berzerker, F.U.C and King Parrot, it is his
contributions to things outside of and closely related to music
that makes him not only a great skinsman but also a champion
bloke.
In his spare time Todd also teaches drums, lends his chops as a
session drummer, travels the world doing what he loves, produces an
entertaining podcast called Drumwell and generally spreads and
shares his passion with all those who come within earshot of him.
No ego. No judgement. No stress.
But it is his work with charity organisations that is perhaps
closest to his heart. Most recently Todd ran the gruelling Bridge
To Brisbane race to raise money and awareness, but now is he about
to lay himself bare - literally - like never before as he prepares
to go under the blade to raise money for Support Act in a selfless
show of faith that possibly rivals even that of the great
Samson.
Yep, on Saturday, August 17, Todd Hansen is saying goodbye to his
safety blanket of the past 24 years as he gets his infamous
dreadlocks removed from his body in an act of defiance that shall
forever be referred to as Toddy's Dreadlock Chop. But don't take it
from us, let Todd tell you in his own words.
"After 24 years, it’s time to lighten my head and chop off the
dreads," he said. "And what better reason to raise some funds for
the great work Support Act do for the people working within the
Australian music industry? I’ll be losing the locks at 2.00pm AEST
on Saturday 17th August, live-streaming at
www.facebook.com/toddhansenofficial.
I would like to raise $2424, to represent 24 years of my dreadlocks
being cut off in 2024. All donations are greatly appreciated, and
will help Support Act continue to provide their services to music
industry workers in crisis."
