HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD LP GETS A FLAMBOSTIC REVIEW FROM TRASH MAGAZINE

"Shot from the arm of Chuck Berry, Johnny Thunders, and Don Covay, the trashed out street vibe, low rider soul, and rock n roll verities of this record are old world charm enacted, the end result of a man fascinated with the denizens of a society hellbent on squeezing out all the fun, all the flash, all the pizzazz, in favor of an imagined security the new world order insists upon giving us. The stories are familiar- down and outers, boozers, losers, cheats, liars, strippers, crazies- all told from the perspective of a passive pimp, a weary passenger on the electric ride of life. Cody Chesnutt or Van Hunt may be considered contemporaries, but neither have Savoir Faire's ramshackle rocker outlook, fashioning much slicker product, more in synch with genre placement than the mutant, grindhouse exploitation that litters the bulk of Hooray For Hollywood."
- FRANKIE DELMANE, TRASH
