The Holdup formed in early 2008 when drummer Danny Flores and lead vocalist Mike Garmany recruited local bassist Kyle Christensen. They began writing songs and performing small local venues around town. It wasn’t long before a fanbase gathered and the request for an album began to spread. Not having any recorded material the band decided it was time to hit the studio to record their first EP. Later that year, the band recruited Clev Stiles as DJ/Band Manager, the chemistry and fit were undeniable and The Holdup was finally complete.
The Holdup creates a new style by blending multi genre influenced production into each song. From Hip Hop, Reggae, Dub, Soul, Pop and Rock, you find each song different from the next with its own unique sound. With hit songs like, Hunnies, Sometimes and the ever growing popular hit, Good Times, The Holdup’s music is destined to be heard over airwaves and in venues across the world. Combine a distinctive combination of music with ear catching melodic lyrics, and you get The Holdup: an energetic, hardworking group that defines a new unique style of music.
Past Performances with: Sublime w/ Rome, Hole, Silversun Pickups, Against Me, Dan Black, The Temper Trap, Rebelution, Dirty Heads, The Aggrolites, Steel Pulse, Yellowman, Inner Circle, Soja, Beenie Man, Eek-A- Mouse, Junior Reid, Tribal Seeds, Collie Buddz, Passafire, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, Badfish, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Pack, The Movement, Afroman, The Expendables, Iration and more.
