Make It Big! Episode 5 - Holland Greco (Murdergram, The Peak Show, The Stripminers

Make It Big!

Paul has a fun, in-depth conversation with another Stripminer, and also Zappa Records recording artist, Holland Greco. Holland is a Los Angeles vocalist, songwriter, performer, and musician. She released her debut album, Volume One, on Zappa Records in June of 2014. It is two contrasting E.P.s showcasing the light and dark sides of her personality and musicality. Side A: Tunnel Vision, reflects her first-loves of poetry, radio hits of the 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s, and uniquely stylish audio/visual presentation. The chic instrumentation combines ukulele, dance beats, upright bass, beautiful keyboards, and a horn section to cook up a world of sophisticated pop confection. Side B: Murdergram: Songs of the Misfits. It’s an homage to the horror punk songwriting of Glenn Danzig with new arrangements inspired by the cinema of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and rumbling electric guitar pioneer, Link Wray. Holland’s first major musical project, The Peak Show, was signed to Atlantic Records. They had numerous licenses to major motion pictures, network & cable television, and continue to be heard and placed in those outlets today. Their debut album was produced by Mario Caldato, Jr. (Beastie Boys, Beck) & Front Row (Guadaloop, Mama Stud). It was mixed by 5 time Grammy Award winning mixer, Serban Ghenea. Holland has been a lead & featured vocalist in 2 widely seen and loved cartoons: Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire with “Getaway, Yeah”, and a Merrie Melody on The Looney Tunes Show “Yellow Bird”. Holland Greco also works as a background singer, side musician, and hired gun for bands such as The Stripminers, Anais Mitchell’s Hadestown, The Quick Hellos, Scrote, Roxy King, David Bowling, Casino Royale, and the Hearts & Stars band.
