about

We know you loved “Octopus of Love” from their first album, right? You gonna love this one too.

We are jolly well pleased to announce the second GMR/Chuckie Boy release, The Holidays – Big Sexy World. This is a whole second album by the ‘Daze, recorded in ‘92 and then stuck on a shelf to “age”. We’ve gone down to the cellar and dug it out off the back shelf, shined up the jug and now it is ready for YOU!.

A sweet video was made for the song “Who Will Take Care of the World?” (youtu.be/nFRff9BqjtQ), where The Holidays and a bunch of friends took a ‘Mystery Tour’-style trip with mustachioed Tour Guide Michael through Seattle on a 1968 GMC Metro Bus. Alki Beach on a beautiful summer’s day. I think the Beatles were all on LSD when they made that film, weren’t they? The Holidays? I dunno, you’ll just have to ask ‘em.

1992? Yes—it WAS a pretty amazing time to be making music in Seattle in the late ‘80s-early ‘90s. And it was a relatively small scene—a handful of places to play, a core of bands and friends and fans that went to see and support one another, and a growing sense of excitement. And while the Flannel Super-Nova was brewing…there was some Serious Pop action happening. Bands like The Posies, Super Deluxe, Micro Mini…and The Holidays.

And here they are.
