Artist History
ISN'T HOLTZCLAW BEST KNOWN FOR BITING THE HEAD OFF A SIX-MONTH OLD IFANT?
No,Holtzclaw is best known for their marathon sets,and their rollicking jams.Holtzclaw has been known to perform with more than 25 band memberson stage at once,sort of a southern-accented Chubawumba without the communist leanings.And what bizzare instrumentation! Like the German Art bands of the late 70's,Holtzclaw can drag out the funk from a myraid of household objects.Aside from bass,guitar and percussion,Holtzclaw offers sounds via banjos,harmonicas,stuffed squeaky pnguins,battery powered Hercules swords,bling blangsSpeak'n'Says,etc.;all sonically blended and rendered into a tasty,frothy Margarita of Sound for your sippin'/groovin' pleasure.
WHAT IS HOLTZCLAW?
Holtzclaw is Music,Theatre,Dance,Spectacle,Performance,Diversion,A Way of Life.It's the Stones,The Who,The Cure,Ween,Zappa,NWA,Fiona Apple,Tiffany,Brandy,Bread.It's Andy Kaufman,Andy Griffith,Salt'n'Pepa,Loggins and Messina,Korman and Conway.It's George Lucas,Luke&Laura,Who Shot Jr.?,Whatever Happened to Pong?It's Lenny Bruce,Lenni Rifenstahl and The Jewish Anti-Defamation League.
In fact, in a word, Holtzclaw is America. Not the America our parents lived and died for, but a new America. Founded on the belief that speech IS free and love IS all around and we knew it all the time, dammit! But it took a lousy rock'n'roll band to make patriots of us all. It's about time.As Charlie Daniels said: "You never did think that it would ever happen again." |

Press Reviews
NASHVILLE SCENE DEC.18,1997:
Forget the chainsaw,the pinata,the staged sacrifice,and the climatic shower of sparks and rubber snakes.What made this Murfreesboro gig by a rowdy troupe of theaterfolk-cum-art terrorists so memorable was the oversold crowd,which stamped,hollered,heckled,shouted reqests,shimmied on tables,and alternated dirty dancing with fistcuffs.In short,they did exactly what an audience is supposed to do-respond to the challenge thrown down by the performer,and in turn challenge the band to kick ass that much harder.-Jim Ridley
