Portland’s The Out Crowd are actually very “in”! Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Matt Hollywood, the former co-songwriter and co-founder of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, fans of mid-’60s Kinks, Stones, and Byrds will fall in love with The Out Crowd’s edgy and infectious pop sound, heightened by Dandy Warhols’ producer Gregg Willliams’ immaculate production. The Big Takeover raves: “The Out Crowd makes music that reaches for the sky, going for those heavenly ideas just out of reach. Building off the great Psych foundations of LA pop, (Byrds, Love, Rain Parade,) one moment and a Stonesy Velvets base the next, they push themselves to the creative max, with a sound that is always clean and aggressive. But don’t think its urgent-style Punk, instead its Rock from a bunch who remain in control even as they go for broke… Seek out any CD these guys make and file it next to the Warlocks, Richmond Sluts, Snakes and the Volta Sound.”

Co-founder of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Matt Hollywood, has returned with his band, THE OUT CROWD. Comprised of Elliot Barnes, Dave “Boston” Hicks, Sara Jane, and Stuart Valentine (ex-Richmond Fontaine) the band completed their album, Then I Saw The Holy City, in Portland, OR with producer/mixer Brian Coates (Dandy Warhols). A collection of songs showcasing talent that made Hollywood a staple of the BJM for years, songs that are equally elevated by the cast of THE OUT CROWD. The album steals the low lit bar din of Portland as well as the raucous all night shows of their hometown.
Hollywood is the former co-songwriter/co-founder of Brian Jonestown Massacre. He recorded several albums during his seven years with the band. Stuart Valentine was a member of alt-country act Richmond Fontaine and played drums on their first two albums. Guitarist Elliott Barnes, who started The Out Crowd with Matt, is joined on bass by 'Boston' Dave Hicks, who is from Boston. Sarah Jane comes from a family of musical talent to play keyboards, guitar, and tambourine.
Press for THE OUT CROWD's debut EP…
"Chips from early Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground are all over this seven-track release, especially on the rock & roll-y "The Gospel." Why should you give a damn? Because this is psychedelic rock played the way it should be. The Out Crowd is definitely in." (ALL MUSIC GUIDE)
