About Me


Check out this video: Holiday Sail - Pop Tribute Night Pt. 1
BIO
Born a chilly New Mexico night in Albuquerque during the Winter of 2004, Holiday Sail was given it's name and summoned to save The Earth from certain annihilation. Boasting some of the finest musicians the desert has to offer, Holiday Sail's current line-up solidified in the Summer of '05 and they have been rocking ever since. Leading our cast of characters is vocalist/acoustic-guitarist Minie (also of The Minie Gonzalez Band), with bassist Zoltan (also of The Old Main and The Zoltan Trio), drummer Gus (also of The Cranks) and vocalist/guitarist Rob.
Setting forth on the idea that music is a nebulous organism, their sound has been not-so-simply described as:
"...Alt-Folk Pop Punk Hardcore (Radio Mike of www.thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com)."
That's about as succinct as you’ll get it, folks, because there’s no formula. Each song exists as its own creature and grows how it needs to grow. Then, Holiday Sail kills the song and sells you its pelt. And that’s where music comes from, Timmy. Oh! Um… anyway, Holiday Sail plan to rock until everyone in the world is singing along together. Only then, shall their mission be complete.

What others are saying about Holiday Sail:
"[…the live performance] was an inspired contrast of Rob-o-rama's old school rahr-rahr-rahr punkcore (both vocally and on guitar) and Minie's acousti-sweet vox. Add their lightening-pop drummer the set was satisfying as can be."
- Capt. America of Wig Wam Bam (.ORG)
“ Holiday Sail didn’t get asked to play Fall Crawl (The Alibi’s downtown music fest). Again.
In fact, they’ve never been asked to play a crawl. Not because they’re not good enough (they are) or for lack of trying (they have). There’s just a numbers problem working against them…
So here’s Holiday Sail, all dressed up with no place to play on Crawl night. But rather than glut themselves on self-pity, they actually did something about it.
…you won’t find Holiday Sail playing in any clubs, or even sulking at home. They’ll be hauling their amps and drum rigging and merchandise boxes through the congested streets of Downtown. Shortly thereafter, they’re going to play - free of charge – right there on Central between Fourth and Fifth Street. Holiday Sail will be joined by at least four other bands. They’re calling it “Fall Brawl.”
