Dominic Angelella and Eric Slick have been friends for ten years, and in 2005 they formed Lithuania in a rehearsal room. Lithuania has played a handful of shows, toured twice and quietly released a five-song EP titled Heavy Hands. All of these activities were broken up by long periods of silence in which Eric and Dominic worked on other projects (Dr. Dog and DRGN King) and went to see movies and concerts together when they found each other in the same city.

The Zombies are an English rock band. Formed in 1961 in St Albans and led by Rod Argent on piano and Colin Blunstone on vocals, the band scored US hits in the mid- and late-1960s with “She’s Not There,&#8221; “Tell Her No&#8221; and “Time of the Season.&#8221; Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle, is ranked 80 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The scrappy New York outfit known as Hollis Brown was formed in 2009. Drawing from a bottomless well of classic influences yet firmly rooted in the present, the band’s output has steadily evolved from the raw immediacy of its early releases to the more expansive, adventurous approach that fuels its bracing new album, 3 Shots.
