Why this name?
That's easy...It's the lead singers name
Do you play live?
Yes, mostly coffee houses and clubs geared towards the artsy end of things. No bars if we can help it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think if an artist is driven enough and talented enough in all aspects of the industry (singing, playing an instument, recording, mixing, promoting) they can practically make it without all the politics and butt kissing. They can at least get a major buzz going that gives the industry gurus no choice but to take notice.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes

Natalia grew up in Louisville, KY and after meeting August discovered that she had a deep passion for music as well. She picked up the keyboards and drums at lightning speed and sings on backing vocals as well.

Anything else...?
August Holden is also very much into the artistic end of music and the whole creative process. We represent the true artist....someone with orginal vision. Today the world is full of so many clones and sounds you've seen and heard before. Our goal is to stay as far away from the "norm" as possible
in every way. In other words we won't be trying out for "American Idol" any time soon...
