Biography
A disciple of London's dingy retro garage rock scene, Holly Golightly started out in the early 1990s with girl band Thee Headcoatees (a tribute act/splinter group to Billy Childish's Thee Headcoats), subsequently turning her hand to blues, rockabilly and crooning Americana ballads. Named by her mother after a character from the film Breakfast At Tiffany's, Golightly's sharp tongue, DIY attitude and love of vintage sounds led her from the frantic rock and roll of early solo records The Good Things (1995), Up The Empire (1998) and Serial Girlfriend (1998) to the lounge room blues pop of Truly She Is None Other (2003) and to the later twanging country chanteuse on You Can't Buy A Gun When You're Crying. Along the way she recorded with Billy Childish and Rocket From The Crypt and duetted with Jack White on It's True That We Love One Another, from The White Stripes' classic album Elephant. It underlined her status as a cult heroine constantly performing, writing and performing to a devoted cult following.
