biographical info
Johnny Hollow is Gothic chamber music for the 21st century. Like a siren’s call, their unique blend of dark electronic and orchestral sounds have attracted fans since 2003. Their music has received critical acclaim from such diverse publications as Rue Morgue (Canada), Fiend (Australia), Funprox (Netherlands) and Legends (US). ‘Bag of Snow’, the single from their independently release debut album, was featured on a compilation CD for D-Side (France) and Club Electra Magazine (Japan) respectively. Recipients of online accolades (People’s Choice Website of the Year) and intensely loyal fan support, johnnyhollow.com boasts an active forum, an extensive global membership and at least 3 unaffiliated fan sites.
Conceived as holistic artistic vision, Johnny Hollow is Janine White (vocals, electro acoustics, and keyboards), Kitty Thompson (cello) and Vincent Marcone (artistic design). Both classically trained, Janine White and Kitty Thompson weave the threads of piano and cello to an unnatural end creating a tapestry of madness and passion throughout the band’s soundscape. Completing this audio transcendence, the darkly disturbing images of Juno winning artist Vincent Marcone transport the observer to a place where darkness is but the beginning of the journey.
Performing live since 2004 and signed by The Orange Record Label/Universal of Toronto in late 2005; Johnny Hollow is in production of a follow-up to the self-titled Johnny Hollow (over 1500 copies sold independently). The forthcoming album (Beyond the Flame) is expected Spring 2007. New tracks from this album are now playing at www.myspace.com/johnnyhollowmusic.
