Borstal Holiday plays rock n roll like it should be played--raw, passionate,
and loud. A trio from Oakland, they have risen from the ashes of their
formative outfits with a smoldering reverence for punk rock and the blues
and a lean hunger to create a new, soulful collision--destined for reverence
of its own.
Scott's been a fixture of the bay area music scene for longer than he can
remember. Former front man of funk-metal outfit Mordred, he's now embraced
his soulful roots, fronting the Northern-Soul/Mod group the Hi-Nobles when
not strutting the stage with a bass in hand for Borstal Holiday.
Mark is an import from Nottingham, England. He left the UK for California
to play with Blue Sun and now he splits his time between tracing bullets for
the Oakland PD and slinging chords with Borstal Holiday.
David came from the midwest with a history of laying down the beat for punk
band Quixotic and the blues/folk improvisation of Madison, Wisconsin's
Stonefloat. Now in the Bay, he thunders along with the boys from Borstal
Holiday.
Glad all is well. We are on the lookout for a new drummer...Jim is leaving in June. We have a tryout tonight..... Cool that you are starting up the live webcasts!!!! Hope all is well.
It's great, this test proves that I have the knowledge of at least a 6th grader in language arts and mathematics! And it only cost me $65 to take the test ($40 for one, $25 for the next, which I"m not allowed to get a refund on).
Growing facial hair? You'll look like that guy from Knocked Up pretty soon.
