DIY Presents… Holograms Live At The Old Blue Last
Stockholm’s Holograms will be heading to London’s Old Blue Last this April.

April is set to be an exciting month. Not only will they knock down the prices of all the chocolate eggs after Easter, but we’ve got a cracker of a show for you too.
Holograms have a fine pedigree, with Pitchfork and Abeano coverage under their belt, and a 7’ release through Captured Tracks. Described as managing to ‘projectile vomit their fare share of poison’, the Stockholm band will headline the Old Blue Last on April 17th for DIY. You can check out a video for ‘ABC City’ below, as well as get full details (and buy tickets - don’t forget to buy tickets - Ed) of the show.

DIY PRESENTS…
Holograms (Live)
Plus Special Guests
‘Despite being perpetually too poor to drink dusted dive-bar drafts, Stockholm’s Holograms still manage to projectile vomit their fare share of poison. Their regurgitations originate more from the nausea inherent with menial labor in the desolate warehouses of Sweden than alcohol abuse; ultimately making it more enjoyable to sift through. In defiance of their decrepit instruments (a collective estimated worth of a handful of Kronas) Holograms emit a seemingly impossible energy. Their sound synthesizes the drudgery of dismal existence with a lust for something better; echoing both the violent abandonment of punk as well as some of the electronic gloss of early 80′s new wave. Their sound has proven far too large for Stockholm’s charred pavement and empty streets; leading us to think it’s about time for all of us to get a little drunker together. - Mike Dupar
