The Black Hollies began in 2005 and have three full length LP's, a slew of 45's, and years of touring under their belts. Their themes have always been exploration of form, channeling the spontaneity of the moment, making arrangements, caring/not caring, charcuterie, imported Belgian ales, Indicas vs. Sativas, French wines, nasty fuzz tones, tight grooves, leslie rotors, tape wound bottom end, deep slow panning, organ grinders, tape echoes, and feeling the flow. As a collective all the players involved share a varied yet connected musical past. The Black Hollies hastily turn a deaf ear toward connotations used to pigeonhole the band. Call the Black Hollies a throw-back and the members' usual responses are either "How about I throw you back?" Or, "Oh, did you throw your back out? You should try acupuncture and Chinese herbs." The Black Hollies are a group that always strive to veer away from the center and toward the circumference. They never set out to duplicate their records while performing live.
