About Julia Haltigan & the Hooligans

>

Once upon a time in the beautiful kingdom of New York City, there was a little girl who refused to wear anything but dresses. She answered only to her full & proper name, Crystal Heart Diamond, and spent all her time kicking boys and playing with sparkles and ponies. Luckily for the rest of us, Crystal Heart Diamond grew into the mostly well-adjusted oddball charmer, Julia Haltigan. She found more interesting things to do than boss people around on the playground and has almost completely moved on from playing with sparkles and ponies. Haltigan found her sound when her cooler-than-Julia father introduced her to the sonically gruff and loopy, most notably in the form of Tom Waits and the Wizard of Oz soundtrack. From there her ear, and song-writing, has had a yen for the bizarre. Fascinated with faded magazine clippings, rusty farm tools, french perfume, and cheap plastic toys, Halitgan strives for a sound-collage of bygone-era American pop. As for her voice Haltigan's cigarette-tinged twang comes at you like the wind whipping the sand to storm. Ranging from a smooth Virginia Slim to an unfiltered Old Gold, she conjures a lover's ache, a friend's dirty trick, a tantrum at bath time. Picture Betty-Boop with a machine gun, or Crystal Heart Diamond at the racetracks with monopoly money to burn. Haltigan collected her band from some of her least favorite states in the country (namely New Jersey, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Westchester County). Lucky for her these states produce some topnotch musicians. Her first member was her pocket-watch collecting, motorcycle riding Daddy-o, Emmet Haltigan. Emmett plays the bluesiest blues harp you've ever heard an Irish boy from Long Island play. Her first non-related addition is Nathaniel Broekman a clever boy with a weeping guitar. Nat's lines match Julia's wit note for note, and the two at work make for a startling and seductive combo. Matt "Claws" was the band's next arrival. Kloss's giant instrument (his upright bass) compliments not only his classic face and style but also the swinging tempo that keeps the songs rolling. Rob Heath leads the band in a chain-gang march, keeping time like rust grows on a prison bar. The band's newest addition, Joey Ancowitz, blasts a bumble bee tremble on trumpet. This band did their homework and knows what makes a song something special. Reinventing the past and trucking towards a glorious future they will take you on a journey that we all know, with a few surprise sideshows along the way. With playful lyrics and catchy tunes they are surely something to keep your eye on.
