TS-031 / Lo-Hi Say It More

New York City’s Boss Hog was coming off a 1996 tour in support of their self-titled Geffen release when their drummer, Hollis Queens, met fellow drummer Martin Owens of Speedball Baby, and the two instantly conspired to form Lo-Hi. Two new members were added in 2001: guitarist and fellow Boss Hog alumnus Jens Jurgensen, and bassist-biochemist Justin Holub. Jens and Justin have added to the band’s already-considerable charm and musical history, but more importantly, they have transformed Lo-Hi from a stripped- down, R&B-influenced novelty act to a full fledged rock & roll band. Say It More was a gigantic step forward for the band as it expands Lo-Hi’s garage punk roots into an eclectic mix of rock, punk, garage, soul and pop, all with the sass you would expect for these NY rock veterans.

Anecdotes

Ironically, Lo-Hi played at Insound’s launch party at The Cooler in 1999 (along with Delta 72 and Karate). Little did we know that we’d release Lo-Hi’s sophomore album 3 years later. Ari was a bit star struck by Hollis Queens, having been a big fan of Hollis’ debut record and her work with Boss Hog. Hollis was a blast to work with – always passionate about her music and her live performances. Hollis had a day job in the art department at some big magazine but always dreamed of spending more time on the road. We are thankful to Hollis for not only allowing Tiger Style to release her 2nd album but for also introducing us to James Chance.
