Paul macausland from haywire band austin
In this two-part feature, Haywire’s Paul MacAusland shares what living the dream was really like back in the band’s heyday, plus what led him to rockin’ out and living life on ‘The Rock’
While recording and touring in the 80s and 90s might have been Haywire’s musical heyday, vocalist Paul MacAusland shared just how grand life has been, and still is, since settling into Newfoundland.
IF THE SHOE FITS
If the term haywire means erratic and out of control, then the saying; ‘if the shoe fits…’ simply doesn’t apply to at least one of the band’s founders, vocalist Paul MacAusland.
Haywire’s roots were simple. A few pals – MacAusland (vocals), Marvin Birt (guitar/vocals), David Rashed (keys/vocals), Ronnie Switzer (bass/vocals) and Scott Roberts (drums) – gathered in 1981 in Charlottetown, PEI, and started making music.
The band went through many names, trying them on for size – including, MacAusland laughs at the memory, Beans & Wieners.
