Holly Golightly And Her Band

This show was rescheduled from 12th December 2026.

Holly Golightly started her musical career as a founder member of all girl garage band Thee Headcoatees, a Billy Childish / Thee Headcoats splinter group in 1991.

After four years as a Headcoatee she also found time to release a debut solo record, The Good Things, in 1995. Where the Headcoatees sound was a blend of girl group sounds and three-chord garage-rock with all the original songs coming from the pen of Billy Childish, Holly’s solo sound is more a blend of pre-rock electric blues, folk rock, and less frantic rock & roll.

In addition to Holly’s original songs, she’s also covered a wide range of artists including Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers.

She is one of the most interesting and diverse artists to come out of the Billy Childish school and is certainly one of the better singer/songwriters of the post-grunge era who seems to get better with every album.

Over the years Holly has been guest vocalist on various other band projects, including live with Mudhoney, on a couple of Greenhornes releases, and on a couple of Rocket From The Crypt tracks including their hit single ‘Lipstick’. After relocating to USA in the early 2010s to concentrate more on touring with Lawyer Dave as Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs, she also made two more solo albums, Slowtown Now! and Do The Get Along which were released in 2015 and 2018 respectively. Both were recorded at Ed Deegan’s new Gizzard Studios with Ed at the controls and featured the current band line-up of Bruce Brand (drums), Matt Radford (double bass), Ed Deegan (guitar) and Bradley Burgess (guitar).

She’s been busy living and working at her home in the US with her animals as well as heading back to Europe for a few tours in the 2020s and finally got back in the studio while in London at the end of 2024 to record ten new original songs for her brand-new album Look Like Trouble.
