The Holy Soul launch their new album Get Old! at the Catfish on Gertrude Street on Saturday March 9.
Since 2001 The Holy Soul have been experimenting with rock n’ roll and everything that borders on or intersects with it. Led by songwriter and guitarist Trent Marden, alongside Sam Worrad (Bass), Jon Hunter (Guitar) and Kate Wilson (Drums) they have released 4 albums and a number of singles, EPs, demos, compilations and collaborative projects.
Producer of ‘Get Old!’, Robyn Hitchcock says: “The Holy Soul fall into the un-niche that is Art Rock: they are blissfully genre-free, though you could safely say they aren’t pop music. It’s the sound of four musicians being themselves, reacting as they effervesce in the glass of existence, right next to Gods dentures. Not always pretty, but invariably some kinda fun”.
They have performed, collaborated and/or released recordings with Damo Suzuki of CAN, David Thomas of Cleveland avant garage band Pere Ubu, Gareth Liddiard of TFS, Monica Brooks, Lo Carmen and Dave Graney & Clare Moore. The Holy Soul have toured Australia, Europe and Asia, and have shared bills with Todd Rundgren, Mudhoney, The Scientists, Michael Rother & Dieter Moebius, Tav Falco and others.
Joining The Holy Soul are creative force and internationally acclaimed singer songwriter Lo Carmen, Local talent Claire Birchall, and all the way from San Francisco, Mickelson.
