months of touring to promote the June 2019 release of their new album,
Ozone Park (Mascot/Cool Green Records)....playing tight opening sets
for the likes of Robert Randolph, Vintage Trouble and
Thunderpussy...HOLLIS BROWN IS READY TO STRETCH OUT ON STAGE. The
Queens NYC based Rock band unveils their 50 YEARS OF GETTING
“LOADED” show in Spring 2020. Following a full set of material
from their 3 original albums, HOLLIS BROWN WILL PERFORM THE LOADED
ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR THE FIRST TIME ON TOUR. Per singer Mike
Montali, “When we were starting out, LOADED WAS AN ALBUM THAT SHOWED
US HOW TO WRITE SONGS, and also how to capture a no-frills energy in
our sound. It will be the first time we are performing this show in
its entirety, and we can’t wait to hit the stages.” HOLLIS BROWN
GETS LOADED WAS BORN OUT OF A NOVEMBER 2013 NYC TRIBUTE CONCERT TO ONE
OF THE BAND’s fallen heroes Lou Reed, where they were first asked to
perform the seminal 1970 Velvet Underground album live. Alive
Naturalsound Records then convinced the band to commit their
track-by-track interpretations to vinyl, which they recorded live over
two days in a house in the country, for a limited-edition Record Store
Day 2014 release. However, the album soon took on a life of its own,
with surprise airplay on tastemaker stations like KEXP Seattle and KUT
Austin, prompting the label to issue a full physical and digital
release. To this day, HOLLIS BROWN’s versions of tracks like "Oh!
Sweet Nuthin'" and “Sweet Jane” continue to organically find their
way onto streaming playlists, and remain among their top songs on
Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora. Waive fees, gain early access to
