Holiday

About Me

Holiday started around Dec. '05 with Shawn, Houston, and Matt getting together and playing in Shawn's pool house. We later recruited Andrew originally to play keyboards but he wound up playing guitar instead. Houston and Matt were planning on heading off to college in the summer, so we polished up some songs, booked a few shows and even did a little recording. What you see here is the result of roughly six months as a band. Each member has since gone on to new bands and projects which you can find more about here (you can see what Shawn's up to music-wise at http://myspace.com/tensecondsremaining, Houston at http://www.myspace.com/monochovia, and matt at http://matthewandashley.blogspot.com). Some of us still check the page from time to time, so feel free to add comments or questions. Thanks for the listen, enjoy!You can add this background image to your desktop by clicking here.
