Hollis Steamwhistle

(noun – proper name)

Alleged founding member and self-proclaimed “Liaison to the Inaudible Realms” of the Post-Execution Steamcore movement.

First documented in a grainy VHS recording from 1997, where he appeared in a full boiler suit, antique pilot goggles, and one squeaky leather glove, delivering a spoken-word rant over a background of goat bleats and malfunctioning calliope music.

Known for introducing the “coat hanger solo” during the infamous First Public PESC Performance — an act that allegedly caused a polyphonic rupture audible only to those “properly out of phase.”

Trivia:

Hollis claims to have lived in an abandoned observatory for “tax purposes.”

Once described by a fan zine as “the man who looks like he smells like time travel.”

Believes the word “encore” is a government trigger phrase.

“Man, that set was wild — pure Hollis Steamwhistle energy.”
