Holy Hail

Jokey one-hit miracles Fannypack followed their 2003 jokey a single hit “Cameltoe” using the incredibly sluggish second record See You Next Wednesday and an unforgivably lame 2006 jingle for Aged Navy clothing shops about finding one’s “fash in,” whatever that’s likely to mean, after that had the nice sense to split. It really is unsurprising but instructive to notice that nowhere in the pr announcements for Kitty Hartwell’s post-Fannypack task, Holy Hail, could it be stated that Hartwell have been the lead vocalist for your best-forgotten work. Holy Hail, which investments Fannypack’s ironic upgrading of Salt-N-Pepa and L’Trimm for the similarly retro but presently more fashionable brand-new influx dance-rock revival ? la the Gossip as well as the Rapture, can be Hartwell on vocals and electric guitar, Kevin Cooke on vocals and keyboards, the mono-named Michally on bass, and Matt Cuttler on drums. Shaped in Brooklyn (where else?) in 2005, Holy Hail documented a ten-song demonstration session the next year with manufacturer Nicolas Vernhes (Fischerspooner). Those recordings had been mined because of their debut one, “County Good, Pt. 2,” for the United kingdom label Playlouder in nov 2006. Another British one, “Born of the Star,” premiered on the Escapades Close to House label in the springtime of 2007 before Holy Hail authorized with Kanine Information for their 1st American EP, Big Weapons.
