Holy FuckBiography
Holy Fuck is a lo-fi improvisational experimental band from Toronto/Halifax, Canada. They are a part of Dependent Music, a music label/collective that began in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1994. Called “Toronto’s evil supergroup”, Holy Fuck includes, at various times, members of other notable bands King Cobb Steelie, By Divine Right, Wintersleep, Enon, and Blue Rodeo. Holy Fuck mimics modern electronic music without using modern fail-safes like laptops and programmed backing tracks.
For 2005’s NXNE festival they armed themselves with a drum set, a bass guitar, a myriad of toy keyboards, guitar pedals, mixers and even a 35mm film synchronizer; they hit the stage without even rehearsing. More recently they have played festivals like Coachella, CMJ, SXSW, POP Montreal, Montreal Jazz, All Tomorrow’s Parties, and Vegoose. They have hooked up and collaborated frequently with Antipop Consortium MC, Beans. They still do it with the same duct taped keyboards, film editing gear, still without rehearsing.
The lineup continues to mutate but maintains its core: Brian Borcherdt and Graham Walsh with alternating bassists Kevin Lynn and Mike Bigelow, and drummers Glenn Milchem, Loel Campbell, Brad Kilpatrick and Matt Schulz.
