Head's up: Two years after the fact---moving to CA---I've finally shed Bklyn from my website URL and various social media spots. If you haven't already, you can now get me up on Twitter, Instagram, and all the usual places by the handle HOLMESMADECO.
Happy to say these handmade wristbands will be along for the ride as My Morning Jacket begin touring this week behind their new record, The Waterfall. Good times with good friends. First up is The Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA on the 15th. Check the merch stand.
Once or twice, usually when trying to avoid thinking about something else---I've thought that I should organize a festival with a lineup including only bands/musicians who have used my straps + etc over the years. This would ideally happen in my back yard, with the spirits of Rowland S. Howard and Mark Linkous acting as emcees. #spiritualized #low #slowdive #wilco #leeranaldo #stephenomalley #swans #deathvessel #mymorningjacket#deanwareham #megafaun #neilhalstead #sunno)))
I've made mention here and there over the past few weeks re: making these bracelets for Slowdive, and soon, beginning with the DC show on the 22nd (one week from this writing), they'll be available to purchase, wear & love. 348 of them. In black, and in red. It took a month of work to the exclusion of near all else, with a semi-long distance home/shop move thrown in---but this is the kind of thing that makes HOLMES a satisfying enterprise. Doing good work with good people.
Tour dates:
The HOLMES front office would like to thank the rock gods for inducing Dean Wareham to choose his Fano for this KEXP session.
