=======================
Holy Fuck have started a legacy based on near stupidity. It
started with a simple concept, to mimic modern electronic
music without using modern fail safes like laptops and
programmed backing tracks. They wanted to make music breathe
new life with every new performance, take daring risks on high
wire, and threaten always to collapse around the bewildered
audience. So they armed themselves with a drum set, a bass
guitar, a myriad of toy keyboards, guitar peddles, mixers, and
even a 35 mm film synchronizer. They hit the stage at last
year's NXNE festival, without even rehearsing. Luckily they
remembered to bring extra batteries.
Sure what they came up with sounded more like German kraut
rock, or a noisy, hypnotic Suicide. But it was the audience's
reaction that was totally unpredicted; they danced, smashed
stuff, freaked outà one girl even cried. Now just over a year
later they have played super-festivals like Coachella, CMJ,
SXSW, POP Montreal, Montreal Jazz, and have even been invited
to All TomorrowÆs Parties in London and Vegoose in Las Vegas.
They have hooked up and collaborated frequently with Anti Pop
MC Beans. They still do it with the same duct taped keyboards,
film editing gear, still without rehearsing. The line up
continues to mutate but maintains its core: Brian Borcherdt,
Graham Walsh, Kevin Lynn, and drummers Glenn Milchem and Loel
Campbell.
Spin magazine recently described Holy Fuck as "blip-hoppers."
Other amusing descriptions are "a shabbily dressed Kraftwerk"
and even "Toronto's evil super group." While it is difficult
to describe the sounds made by mashed up Casio beats, layered
with pounding drums and scratched up film tape, the one
comment that is on everyone's lips is... well, "Holy Fuck!"
Download this, enjoy it, and be amazed. These fuckers are
going to blow up just like the rest of the Canadian
independent scene.
