This amazing group performs during their first visit to Newfoundland.
Most of you visiting my site probably have no idea who these guys are but I just want to assure you that they’re the very definition of amazing. They use keyboards, drums, bass and something called a film synchronizer — the thing they’d use in the olden days to sync the video and audio of a movie together as one for playback — to great some of the freshest sounds you might ever hear.
Those of you who know me well, know full well just how broad and varied my musical tastes are. I listen to everything from Johnny Cash or Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Deadmau5 on a regular basis. This band, HOLYF#!K are one which I’d heard of before and glimpsed some of their music ages ago, but never really discovered until last nights show at The Rock House. It takes an awful lot for me to immediately purchase your album from iTunes… I bought Holy F#!K’s newest, “Latin” this morning and might purchase their others before supper. I’ve listened to it completely at least 6 times already.
Most importantly, they’re Canadian which is just great. Nothing pleases me more then being able to tell all of my non-Canadian friends about a really good Canadian band they should be listening to. The second most important thing to note is that they’re actually making music. Sure it might sound like a lot of their music is digitally produced on a computer — like so much other music is these days — but it actually isn’t. They use so many different tools, such as the film sync I mentioned, which makes their music truly original and every show is example of that. Look at the passion, enjoyment and wires in some of these pics.

Here’s some pics from the show last night!
