Band MembersWell, it was Grant and Rob and myself, but that became it's own little monster, Little Pieces. This is gonna be just me again I guess. Check out Little Pieces and add us!
InfluencesFrank Black, Jack Black, Black Sabbath, Black Daisy, Black Coffee, Black Hole, Black Ice, Black Magic.

Sounds LikeStuff that sounds like other stuff never seems as good as the stuff it supposedly sounds like. So I like to think that my stuff sounds like itself only. But according to everyone else it sounds like other stuff. Pretty much exactly like Pantera, but tighter and with more drums.

   About Herman Jolly
(The Herman Jolly band is now called Little Pieces! Check it out...) Like Robyn Hitchcock, former Sunset Valley frontman (and current Seattle resident) Herman Jolly has a knack for writing wonderfully off-kilter yet oddly beautiful pop songs—the kind that are so distinctive they'd sound strange and slightly forced coming from anyone else, but fit his faintly cracked voice and tilted worldview to a T. He's returned to performing under his own name (although he's joined onstage by a rhythm section) and he's got a new album coming out really soon, so hopefully '07 will see this talented feller get the recognition he deserves. BARBARA MITCHELL -The Stranger __________________________________________________________ For whatever reason, some albums end up defining certain periods of your life. For me, Herman Jolly's 1999 album Mad Cowboy Disease defined my junior year of college. I had just met a girl and I was living in a house with a bunch of dudes who stayed up until 6 a.m. snorting toot off our coffee table. My bedroom was right off the living room, so if I wanted to get any sleep while they ran their mouths and ground their teeth, this girl and I would have to put on music to fall asleep. Jolly's cracked, sparse folk numbers hissed out of those speakers, drowning out the cokehead roommates better than any other record I owned. The way he sang and played made it seem like he was holed up on a dark Saturday morning in Portland, with the rain streaking his bedroom windows and his cats crying for food, exactly the distraction we needed from the endless sniffling of the roommates.

Hi Herman, my husband Tony and I met you at the Mars Bar on Saturday night. Thanks again for the song dedication!

So, we were looking on You Tube for footage of your old band and came across this. We're hoping Little Pieces can cover it sometime soon:

Your music makes everything better. I bet it would even make pickled beets taste like heaven to me instead of poop. I haven't eaten poop but that is what I think of eating beets.

Hey Herman, thanks for the nice compliment, much loved ... sure miss you all, we are buried under snow here but the skiing is great. I like your new band a lot, very stripped down straightforward sound. How is Maxfield, still a dancer? :)

Remember the Paul McCartney CD you asked me to buy for you on T-day. Was your mind being controlled by substances?
