Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls, Violent Femmes, Nine Inch Nails) Talks Making Music with Badasses Who Just Happen to be Women

Holiday Mountain is an electronic music duo founded by Mexican-American songwriter/keyboardist Laura Patiño and drummer/producer Zander Kagle. The two met in Boston while attending Berklee College of Music and together found a genre-expanding sound, fusing together their affinity for pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. The result is a force so strong that when describing their sound, NPR exclaimed, &#8220;resistance is futile.&#8221;
