More about Holelive.com

Holelive.com was created in late Summer of 2004. The idea had sprung up way before that. Eryn, Stephanie, and Jenny all met around the same time, around the beginning of 2001. They met at the Trading Post of what was then Hole.com. They bonded over their interest in Hole, Courtney, music, and live recordings. After building up all of their collections of rare Hole recordings, they began great friendships with each other. The idea was brought about because of their admiration of great trading sites like Livenirvana.com and several Smashing Pumpkins trading communities. These communities had extensive rules on their recordings. These rules made it difficult for a bad copy to circulate and difficult for people to get ripped off. This was exactly what the Trading Post at Hole.com needed.

The Hole trading world had its work cut out for them. The problems it faced included: MP3 sourced discs, discs with errors, bad sound qualities, incomplete setlists, and a strand of people who were notorious for ripping others off. They let the idea simmer for a while, and Jenny made a 'prototype' holelive.com. This site was located at www.toxicated.net/hole (which is no longer available). The site included an incomplete liveguide, concert reviews, and a small database of people willing to trade their Hole recordings.

The girls finally got all together and went on vacation to Seattle, WA for the 10th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's passing in April of 2004. Once all together, plans really started coming together. Planning on Holelive.com began in May of 2004 and construction began on the actual site in August of 2004. By September 1, the girls were ready to reveal their site.

Since then, we have had more than 200 members agree to our guidelines and have had many successful new circulations of new shows and better quality shows. Unfortunately, the host of Holelive.com had a server crash in July of 2005. The files are still trying to be recovered and a new website had to be started from scratch.

Welcome to Holelive.com!

Let me be the first to welcome you to holelive.com. Holelive.com was created by three people, Jenny, Eryn, and Stephanie, who enjoy the music of Hole and its members and are particularly passionate about the unique experience of Hole concerts. We noticed that there was not a well-defined trading community or guide to the live experience of Hole, so we worked to catalog the most detailed information available about existing recordings along with fan photos and reviews in our live guide. We have also created a message board to facilitate discussion about Hole, Hole fans' common interests, and for live recording trading. Please note that holelive.com will not tolerate the selling of bootlegs. We are a trade-only site because it is our belief that only the artist should profit from their art and that trading is a fair way for fans to enjoy and spread the word about the music of a favorite band without harming the artist. Please also be aware that holelive.com is a fan site, which is not affiliated with the band Hole, the artists Courtney Love or Melissa Auf Der Maur or with any other fan sites.

Our community of friendly, passionate music fans has been growing since September 1, 2004. Please join us in our appreciation of the live music of Hole.
