Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs
"Holly Golightly was born in London and named after the heroine in Truman Capote's novella Breakfast at Tiffany's. She fell under the spell of American roots music the minute she heard her first Stax single and started her musical career playing guitar and singing in punk bands like Thee Headcoatees. Golightly started recording her own albums in the mid-'90s, drawing on the American singles in her massive collection for influence. She was particularly taken with gospel, blues, and other styles of music from the American South, as evidenced by her original songs, which have a strong retro feel. In 2005, Golightly started performing as a duo with Lawyer Dave, a Texas born one-man band that plays guitar, drums, and occasionally the banjo. No Help Coming is the fourth album they've cut as a duo, with Golightly singing and Dave acting as another vocalist and backup band." [Crawdaddy]Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs hit Mercury Lounge in NYC last night (5/5) as part of a tour that continues on to Brooklyn for a show at Knitting Factory tonight (5/6). Patrolled By Radar and Stately Ghosts open tonight, and Daniel Wayne (whose upcoming shows include Union Hall on 05/12 w/ The White Buffalo and 92 Y Tribeca on 06/21 w/The Handsome Family) opened in Manhattan.
If you are going to see Holly tonight, stick around because right afterwards we're presenting a FREE Antlers show. More pictures from Mercury Lounge, below...

DW has an incredible voice. I dug. Haven't heard anyone like him. Plus he's obviously a self-taught guitarist. Has a quirky way of playing that's fun to watch. And he's a hottie. I'd hit it!

1:20 is not Daniel Wayne self promoting in the most pathetic way possible.
Posted by Anonymous | May 6, 2011 2:08 PM
2:08, not sure if you're comment is badly said sarcasm but I can assure you the Daniel Wayne hasn't even looked at a computer yet today and probably won't for a few more hours. I also know he has no idea this post of his opening performance exists yet, therefore whomever 1:20 post is, it's cute and genuinely not him. You're throwing stones with your eyes closed, if, your comment is what you believe or you're just a hater cause you don't get attention.

2:36 Why would you know when this guy is looking at a computer?
Posted by Anonymous | May 6, 2011 2:48 PM
probably his ladyfriend or roommate?

I know Daniel Wayne and he doesn't even own a computer... most likely he's just climbing out of bed, since he had such a great night, which clearly 2:08 didn't have.
2:08 is just a classic hater. Daniel's voice is unique and beautiful, just like he is.
I bet he'll give you a free download of "The Fool" if you just ask.

I can't wait to see what happens next in this thread. I'm putting together a dossier on this DW character. Likes, dislikes, time of day certain activities are likely to take place, etc. Fascinating. Keep it coming, thanks.
