Their name says it all. "The Holy Wow" did an extremely intense show at Bowery Electric a couple weeks ago. Way more intense than anything I've seen in a while. Dark underpinnings and a slow bass sometimes played largely by the keys with guitars seemingly going all over the map, but the music still created the impression of being very tight in composition.
From the band's website: HOLY WOW! is an adrenalin shot of gothic electro garage rock, filtered through the deeply personal lens of Russian born, New York raised, California grown Dmitry Wild. An immigrant from Eastern Europe, Dmitry fell hard for the madness and fast paced NYC lifestyle. He found an outlet by playing music and quickly developed a prodigious list of bands to collaborate with by his late teens. ... In 2016 he formed HOLY WOW, positioning himself for the first time as the sole creative spearhead. ... And the band came out with their debut album, "Modern Ancient Man" earlier this year. One of the songs on the album is "Punk Rock" :::
While I like their recorded music, what I hear on Soundcloud is not on the same level of intensity as what I heard at their live show. Here's the click to their Facebook page where you can find out about their next show, as well as the full story of the band's background. ::: The Holy Wow on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
