- From the Holpaw Website: "depending on when you ask us holopaw is or has been or will be somewhere on the continuum of nothing-comic adaptation-songwriting duo-play a sometime show duo-long distance recordathon-actual record-recording rock band-actual touring rock band with shows in different towns that people come to and everything....right now we’re around the actual recording touring rock band end of that spectrum....well maybe not touring but we’re working on getting back to that...."
