Holiday Man, released through Trauma Records on August 25, 1998, is the Flys' big swing at the alternative mainstream, and for one song they connected. The Hollywood band was built around brothers Adam and Josh Paskowitz, sons of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz of surfing's best-known family, and they deal in loud, glossy alternative rock with a sunburned swagger.
"Got You (Where I Want You)", produced by Chris Goss, is the hit: it went to number five on the Modern Rock chart, rode along on the soundtrack of the 1998 film Disturbing Behavior, and put that film's stars, Katie Holmes and James Marsden, in its video. "She's So Huge" followed it onto the Modern Rock chart, peaking at 32, and later turned up in Sugar & Spice and on The Crow: Salvation soundtrack. The album itself topped out at 109 on Billboard.
