Artist description The Kingdom of Holster. Old Testament In the beginning, the land of Holster primitive and small. Only two Brothers ruled over the land at this stage, Brother Lee and Brother Ian. There is little recorded history of this time. The brothers worshipped primitive, yet important gods like Aerosmith & Diesel. Then, as written in ancient lore, a new member wandered into the Holster realm, with the promise of a new sound and direction for the land. It was Brother Conan, a master with the bass. The three brothers combined their strength and it sounded good, until Sister Kerrilee arrived off the high seas. Travelling a vast distance from a far away land, she brought the exotic styles of the drum. Previously unheard of in Holster, this new sound completed the old Holster, one which was a powerful force of the old era. The land continued to grow, conquering neighbours and expanding rapidly. Time passed as did the gods the land worshipped, from You Am I and Motorace to Radiohead and Doves, many influences shaped Holster. Then came a dark time for the realm, the Drumless Age. Sister Kerrilee grew tired of this land and decide to return to her homeland. Holster was left drumless and its neighbours grew stronger, while the land was brought closer and closer to extinction. However there was one last chance to save the once proud Kingdom of Holster, thus the New Testament begins. New Testament The Kingdom was left without a drumming beat; chaos and disorder fall upon the land. It was during this time that Brother Ian became the "Saviour of the Land". He hid away in his castle, mastering the art of drumming, while the outside world passed. In his castle he forged a new drumming style for the Kingdom and returned to his brothers with the art. Holster, with a new sound, return to order and fought off neighbours. New gods appeared in popular religions. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Giants of Science, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Sonics were among the more heavily worshipped. It's popular theory that the Brothers were quite smitten with the Queens of the neighbouring land of Stoneage also. Time passed, as did sounds, yet the three rulers weren't satisfied with the direction of the land. It was decided that one of the apprentices should be promoted to Brother status to bring Holster back to the power it once was. Brother Pat was chosen. Apprenticing under many masters, including Brother Lee, Brother Pat moved into the role of second guitarist, the position once held by Brother Ian. The brothers four now face the challenge of directing the land to musical greatness. The recorded time of Holster now needs to be updated.
