The band started out with 2024’s “Haywire.”
They then played their new track, “Flex Your Head” — or at least most of it.
The crowd went wild for the brief performance.
Haywire had teased the location to their fans on Instagram, so people knew where to show up.
The cops shut down the set after just one and a half songs.
After the cops descended, the band packed up quickly.
Fans carted away some of the band’s gear as everyone scattered. And that was that: another guerilla gig on the books for Haywire.
