Old Friends...
Oh my. Now that’s a hideous picture.
I’d love to blame it on my new buddy Paul’s ratty hair and unfortunate choice of clothing, but the truth is simple: he looks way cooler than I do in that getup. I look like a troll. Danny DeVito demanding the troll toll. But I digress. These posters are getting a bit out of hand.

OLOSPO - THIS FRIDAY - LAGRANGE
Look at these morose looking mother-effers right here.
What you’re seeing above isn’t photographic trickery, unlike some other pics on this page. You’re looking at four old friends who are in the process of getting their groove back. And we’re gonna find out where we stand this Friday night, October 7th, at LaGrange in Deep Ellum.
We haven’t spent “months in the studio rehearsing,” as JDY so...

Welcome...
Hello there good people of Earth…this site is now being dedicated to all things Chris Holt…and I am Chris Holt…mostly I will provide music by myself, my alter-ego band The Slack, or perhaps any number of musical outfits I’ve participated in over the years. I also intend to rant about any number of things, when I have the gumption to do so. For now, I just need to figure...
