The Out Crowd
US musical group
The Out Crowd was a U.S. indie rock band featuring bass guitarist Matt Hollywood, a former member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. He formed the group in late 2001 in Portland, Oregon with drummer Stuart Valentine, guitarist Elliott Barnes, bassist Joe Patterson and tambourine player Sarah Jane.
Go on, Give a Damn was produced by Gregg Williams (The Dandy Warhols) and released in early 2003 on Elephant Stone Records. The band toured on the American West Coast in 2003. Then I Saw The Holy City was produced by Brian Coates, engineer/producer for The Dandy Warhols, and released in the fall of 2004 on The Kora Records. The Out Crowd supported fellow neo-psychedelic bands Dead Meadow and The Warlocks nationally in 2004 as well as The Dandy Warhols on their 2005 North American tour. Matt Hollywood has confirmed that the band broke up in 2006 [link removed].
Since the demise of the band, Matt Hollywood has been recording songs and playing shows for his new project The Rebel Drones, Sarah Jane joined Portland band The Upsidedown and Stuart Valentine has been releasing solo material. In 2009, Matt Hollywood rejoined the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Scotch Recordings re-released their second album on limited edition vinyl in 2016.

Why this record matters
The phrase “uS musical group” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7755624. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
