Business Weekly
"Don't miss Michael Holland & Karen Mack's newest
extravaganza! Ferociously talented and completely
irreverent, these kids are the hottest thing in show
business since Sonny met Cher and Kiki kidnapped Herb!
AN ABSOLUTE MUST-SEE!" - Next Magazine
"Everything they do is fresh and funny... A good time is a
foregone conclusion!
- The Village Voice
"No series called Gashole could take itself too seriously,
and that’s part of the appeal of Karen Mack and Michael
Holland’s gleefully goofy, shamelessly entertaining
neolounge act. For five years, Mack and Holland have been
resurrecting the lost art of the medley, with an emphasis
on pop hits from the ’70 and ’80s; the summer-themed
opening number of their latest show, Blend-O-Matic,
includes bits of songs by acts as varied as Sly and the
Family Stone, Genesis, Eddie Cochran and Richard Marx. The
inventive Holland supplies the musical connective tissue on
piano or guitar, as he and the supple-voiced Mack blend
their vocals into surprising counterpoints and ornate,
often lovely harmonies. And have I mentioned the gong and
the fog machine? Everybody had fun; everybody Wang
Chunged!"

comments and patter. This award-winning duo has created a
new style in cabaret and found a place in the hearts of a
growing list of fans!" - Cabaret Hotline
"As a musical duo, Mack & Holland are a phenomenon: hip
and funny enough to be a downtown must see at a club like
Joe's Pub or FEZ, and musically accomplished enough to play
the Cafe Carlyle or Feinsteins!" - Show Business Weekly
"It's also for people who thought they'd never be caught
dead at cabaret... engaging and talent rich... one of the
most entertaining evenings in town!" - LGNY
"Karen Mack & Michael Holland have created a veritable
franchise with their very popular series of shows,
garnering awards and accolades and selling out nearly every
appearance... total entertainment, light and frothy!" -
