The Black Hollies will be hitting the Turf Club on Jun. 13 as part of their Midwest / East Coast national tour this summer.  These fellas are turning back the clock with their music, running distorted guitars whose tones sound as if they’re pulled straight out of the 60’s.  Want the real story on The Black Hollies?  You got it, and straight from their myspace page.

Once upon a grumble, a lanky man began to stumble, into the arms of three faces familiar. “Everything alright”, asked the newspaper boy cap wearing axeman. “Yeah, my man, I’m cool, where did you get that stuff?”. “Hahahaha! Don’t worry about where he got it man, just tune into the sounds and do that groove you do best”, replied the blue-eyed bass player. “We ready to get this off the ground fellas?”, questioned the slim 12-string musician. : “Yeah Man!”. ” I’m Cool!”. I’m feeling groovy like PP Arnold, man!”, shouted the other three. “Ready piggly wigglies…’Lost Woman’, I’ll count it in on the hat…1-2-,1-2-3-4″. BOOM!!!!!! (The Black Hollies Myspace Page)

Dramatization?  Definitely, but c’mon.  If you’ve got it, dramatize it.  Isn’t that what they say?  Check out some of the results of this fated stumble below.

The Black Hollies will be joined by Awesome Snakes and Red Pens.
