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.
