The Troubador

Her Space Holiday is the brainchild of Audio Information Phenomena label owner Marc Bianchi. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Marc started his musical career playing in well known hard core bands (Indian Summer, Mohinder and Calm). After a couple years of enduring the unfulfilling “band life”, Marc decided to trade in the smoky club atmosphere for an intimate home recording environment and has since been writing and recording music under the alias of Her Space Holiday.

After releasing a handful of EP’s on a slew of underground labels, Her Space Holiday signed to the New York based Tiger Style Records in 2000. Which in turn lead to a licensing deal in Europe with Wichita Recordings (also home to Bright Eyes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, My Morning Jacket and Ruby). HSH has toured both nationally and internationally with such bands as Bright Eyes, Bob Mould, Pinback, American Analog Set, Arab Strap, etc, and has continuously remixed work for artists such as REM, Bright Eyes, Elastica, The Faint, etc.. The release of 2003’s “ The Young Machines” reached # 2 on CMJ’s top 200 and garnered critical success in the music industry.

CMJ describes HSH’s upcoming full length The Past Presents The Future “As a hopeful sci-fi soundtrack, comprising equal parts of Star Trek and Kanye West. “ The record will be released on September 27th and Marc will be bringing his live show to the Troubadour on September 18th at 10pm, along with the U.K. band The Rakes for a KCRW-sponsored show. Interesting band fact--The 2004 Polish Idol Winner Monika Brodka covered Her Space Holiday’s “ My Boy Friend’s Girlfriend” earning her the Polish equivalent to a Grammy for the “ Debut single of the year.”
