After the demise of underground legends DEAD MOON in fall 2006, nobody was surprised to hear that founders Fred and Toody Cole had lost little time in starting a new band. They recruited drummer Kelly Halliburton in April 2007, and soon the PIERCED ARROWS were up and running, playing live shows in the Northwest and recording songs for upcoming releases. PIERCED ARROWS picks up, musically, where DEAD MOON left off - a lo-fi assault on the senses played with the sincerity and feeling that made DM such a special band for all of their fans around the world.

Having never sung a note before, Holly kicked off her musical career in the legendary garage band Thee Headcoatees. After four years as a Headcoatee, Holly started a solo career, whilst still singing with the band. Her first full-length record, released in 1995, was The Good Things. Since then, she has become one of the most interesting and diverse artists to emerge from The Medway Delta..Aside from her own records, Holly has also made guest appearances on various other projects over the years, from bands such as Mudhoney, The White Stripes, etc. In fact, due to her initial collaboration with The White Stripes, she was then invited to sing a duet with frontman Jack White on the track “It’s True That We Love One Another,” which then appeared on the Stripes breakthrough album Elephant. It was this exposure that gave her a much wider audience for the future.

Holly primarily writes her own material, interspersed with a wide range of cover songs by such artists as Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazlewood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers to name a few. Although her sound has remained remarkably consistent throughout her career, each record has a quality that sets it apart from the others

 

 

Now at the start of a new year, the Brokeoffs prepare for their most recent release, Medicine County, out March 30, 2010 via Transdreamer Records. Recorded in an abandoned, recently foreclosed-upon church near to home, this album features twelve new tracks: eight originals by Golightly & The Brokeoffs alongside traditional numbers like “Blood On the Saddle” and “Jack O’Diamonds.”
