Holly Golightly At Cafe Nine In New Haven Dec. 8If not for "Devil Do," the four-song EP she and Lawyer Dave, the sole member of her latest backing band, the Brokeoffs, released in October, Holly Golightly would have gone an entire year without putting out new music. That would have been a first for the British singer, guitarist and songwriter, a punk-turned-country songstress who, in the 10-plus years since breaking with the all-girl garage group the Headcoatees, has released more than a dozen albums of her own. Formed in Medway, England, the Headcoatees were one of the countless bands led by the eccentric, comically prolific punk icon Billy Childish. While Golightly credits her mentor with influencing her recording habits, she says her prodigious release schedule has more to do with the do-it-yourself spirit of her hometown. "It's about believing you can, more than anything. That's something that was really encouraged where I came from," Golightly says by phone, days into a tour that stops Tuesday in New Haven. - complete Htfd Courant article
