Hollywood Gossip is a four-piece pop band from Austin, Texas. Its members met while working as paparazzi at the 2007 Austin Film Festival. They soon came to the conclusion that, in Austin at least, music is more profitable than scandal. Hollywood Gossip’s honey dripper feeds the restless and lovelorn equally.
Our debut 7-song EP, You're So Quiet, is out now at finer Austin record stores. Request it at Antone's, Cheapo, End of an Ear, Sound on Sound and Waterloo. Live outside of Austin? Get it on CD Baby now. Of course, the best place to get a copy is at one of our live shows. Check our calendar for upcoming dates.
“Hollywood Gossip … is infectious, clever, and with more than a bit of jaded cynicism, the kind of twee with a twist that you expect from Belle and Sebastian and hard pop bite of locals like Voxtrot or Oh No! Oh My! Add to that the irreverent reveling in a city of slackerdom on par with Peel, and Hollywood Gossip has a helluva debut.”
— Austin Sound
“If you're looking for something to get excited over with quivery knees and everything Hollywood Gossip is releasing their debut EP, You're So Quiet, Friday at DeVille. They do the indie-pop thing quite well with upbeat guitar jangles, a skipping beat, gleaming vocals and even a few horn blasts, all while staying on this side of a pop overdose. Certain songs, like ‘Bicycle’, even sound a little like the Smoking Popes (could be the vocals).”
— The Austinist
“Think Beulah with an upbeat rock edge. Also delicious.”
— Covert Curiosity
“Wet-behind-the-ears twee-poppers Hollywood Gossip add the sprinkles to this sugar cookie of a show with its jangly, swingy tunes inspired by the optimism of youth (and The Lucksmiths)…”
— The Onion: Decider Austin
“Catchy, up-beat pop songs with infectious melodies and impressive harmonies.”
— Austin Sound Check
