“Come back my baby, be Holy Holy again”

 

Following their stint of successful shows in London last December, Holy Holy, featuring ex Spider From Mars, Woody Woodmansey, have more gigs scheduled at The Lexington this December.

Though it’s a way off yet, early booking is advised due to the popularity of the band’s brilliant treatment of the songs of David Bowie from the period 1969 to 1973.

“With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’”

 

Cool double-page spread in the April edition of Q regarding David Bowie’s appearance with Arcade Fire, live at Fashion Rocks at New York’s Radio City Music Hall in September 2005.

As you may remember, it was an emotionally charged event, not only because it was Bowie’s return to the stage after the previous year’s health scare, but also because the music itself was so good.

Now, MOV will not only release the album on black vinyl but also on transparent green vinyl and on orange vinyl with both editions being limited to 2,500 numbered copies.

The package will include a large format 12-page booklet all
