The Last Holy Fools

About Me

"The Last Holy Fools are a Los Angeles trio that's been compared to a Nirvana and Velvet Underground hybrid, and it's a well-earned comparison. Their music reflects a deep respect for lyrics and subtlety, as well as power chords and a mic stand in the face. Simply put, their fans do not come to fold their arms and spectate. For The Last Holy Fools, music is about balls and brains, power and taste." -- John Reseland, The Maneater, 9/29/06
