Marc Bianchi began the electronic-based space pop project
Her Space Holiday mostly as a bedroom endeavor in 1996, after departing the hardcore scene. (He'd played in bands like Indian Summer and Calm.) Releases during that formative period included the
Audio Astronomy 12",
Astronauts Are Sleeping, and the
Something Blue EP. Then
Her Space Holiday moved to Tiger Style for the 2000 full-length
Home Is Where You Hang Yourself, and the well-received effort led to touring and remix offers. After a 2001 move from San Francisco to Austin, TX,
Bianchi and his girlfriend/collaborator Keely issued the
Manic Expressive LP, and followed that with 2003's
Young Machines (Mush). The
Young Machines remix project appeared soon after, with work from notables like
Matmos,
Super Furry Animals, and
Stereolab. Two new discs were in the works for 2005; the
Let's Get Quiet, Vol. 1 EP emerged in May, and a full-length album,
Past Presents the Future, followed a few months later. The second
Let's Get Quiet EP arrived in 2007. Released in 2008,
XOXO, Panda and the New Kid Revival featured more live instrumentation and hooky pop songs. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
