Evangelicals Announce Fall Tour, Refrain from Appearing on EWTN
Tiny Mix Tapes — ... matter how you look at it, evangelicals get a thumbs up in my book. Only one kind of Evangelicals is going on tour, though, and it’s the band. Good news for psych-rock fans, bad news for Jesus fans, I suppose. Anyway, Oklahoma’s other favorite sons are hitting the road, starting with a hometown Halloween show and charging through November. Word has it they’ll be premiering some new material from their forthcoming new album on these dates, most of which will be opened by Tallahassee’s Holiday Shores . 10.31.09 - Norman, OK - Opolis 11.02.09 - Phoenix, AZ - Modified Arts * ...

Holiday Shores - “Colombus’d the Whim” - Buy it
melophobe - concert reviews and concert photos — Holiday Shores was delightful to listen to this evening, following a Friday morning that was, I’ll say it, stupid. Fridays should be thrilling, and joyous. Mine wasn’t. It was a bit of a cluster shit show. But, thankfully, Holiday Shores saved this dreary, windy, rainy day. Totally picked me up.

[MP3] Holiday Shores: “Phones Don’t Feud”
You Aint No Picasso — ... You’re going to call me crazy for it, but Holiday Shores’ “Phones Don’t Feud” seems to bridge the gap between the lo-fi psych craze currently gripping the blogosphere in 2009 and the Vampire Weekend wave that was riding high in 2008. It’s awash with trippy vibrations, but there’s also a pep to the guitar part that has me remembering the first time I heard Vampire Weekend.

Holiday Shores ::: Hi-Dive ::: 11.09.09
Cause=Time — ... The Floridian tide brought us Holiday Shores last night. The CMJ darlings from a couple of weeks ago came well equipped with lots of reverb to deliver the goods. The quartet proved that their full album is worthy of all A Side status, even when it’s played live. The translation proved to be more effective than their recorded material. The polished material  on “Columbus’d the Whim” that plays like a “Wall of Sound” produced gem fails to display the dexterity that Holiday Shores is capable of performing live (much like last ...

BaebleMusic — ... more preoccupied songs like "Dens" and "I'll Spend Money I Don't Have", feel a bit more forward facing and layered. Columbus'd the Whim is the band's first full-length, although they did release an EP last year under their now defunct name, Continental Divide. Any way you cut it, this is a great album, remembering that this is a debut makes it all the more impressive. - amelia trask * * * * * * * * * * * * MP3: Holiday Shores:: Phones Don't Feud - Columbus'd the Whim Holiday Shores on Myspace add comment Share To: Share on Facebook Digg It! ...

album review: holiday shores
BaebleMusic — ... sound is one of deceiving accessibility. Its as though you can hear faint echoes of so many different bands, from past and present, but just as the names come floating in, the thread dissolves into a cloud of lo-fi reverb. In other words, these guys have a truly unique sound without dangling on the fringe of experimental, automatically likable, but not catchy. ...keep reading... * * * * * * * * * * * * MP3: Holiday Shores:: Phones Don't Feud - Columbus'd the Whim Holiday Shores on Myspace

EAR FARM Bands of the Week 2009
EAR FARM :: music information helps grow ears — ... Everything happens for a reason, right? Isn’t this what people say when things spin out of their control? I’m taking minor liberties in assuming Holiday Shores’ Nathan Pemberton had no idea the shimmering songs he crafted in the dead of the Panhandle winter would go on to achieve their vine-ripened perfection here on a lovely October afternoon in the Lower East Side. Or that summer jams made in winter’s captivity would reach our ears just as the words “surf” and “lo fi” are bouncing off assorted CMJ revelers’ lips about as frequently as “like” and “the”. Or that as of this ...

Fact is, this Bay Area trio have corralled all of their meandering proggy instincts into a focused set of tracks moonlighting as (almost) traditional rock music. I just call it awesome. - Mike 1.

And yet, they pry at us like lonely creatures that are still trying to pick their spots, trying not to be kept by anyone. They are on the lam, but going about their escapes with an ease in temper and no real urgency. These should be the ways our hauntings and dreams always sound. We could really start to love them all equally at that point, just getting drunk on their shaken hearts. Holiday Shores MySpace Page ...
