Hello, my name's Kelly Holliday, also known as Adam Hyde.
Kelly Holliday's here, guys. Hey, Kelly. G'day, g'day. Thanks for having me. You're welcome. Thanks for getting up early.
Who is Keli Holiday and what personas does he maintain?
Have you powered through the weekend? It's been quite the celebration.
It has been quite the celebration.
Did you get caught up in the gay world? I got caught up in the gay world last night and the night before and the night before that. It's always a three-dayer with the gays.
It seems to be so, but I've been well behaved.
The national tour kicks off this Friday. Will you be recovered from the festivities of the weekend? Are you going to pull yourself together? I might just have to keep on going through.
But all the shows have sold out for the tour except for Friday. There's a few tickets left. One of them has your name on it if you wish to come.
I'm there front and centre.
Yeah, the Metro Sydney is going to pop. Oh, that'll be kicking. Yeah.
What have you got planned for everyone? What's the itinerary?
So I want to make it a little bit theatre in a way. Not too theatre because I don't enjoy cabaret that much. Some piano moments, some spotlight moments, some dance moments, some nudity, some sweat. Some nudity? Yeah, I think nudity is a fun part of a good rock and roll show.
Are you talking from behind or full frontal?
What is this? Behind and full frontal. Oh, my God. All angles. All angles.
A side angle nude's always good, don't you think?
Yeah, side boobs, side boobs.
You get that Gonzo vibe going on. So, yeah, I was talking to Marsha. You know, I do the Australian Idol show with Marsha. Yeah, Icon. Marsha was telling me that her first, when she was 16 and she was in Australia, she'd had Denny and Denny was under the stage in a bassinet while she was nude on stage doing the musical Hair. And I asked her, did you have hair?
What can we expect from Keli's upcoming tour and new music?
Yeah. And she said, of course, that was the era. Everyone had hair. Yeah, the bush. But now, the women have no hair. It's coming back, doggie. No, no, not in my world, it's not. Oh, really? Not for them? Maybe in the world of the great unwashed, but in my life, nah.
What about if it's a well-maintained?
No. I mean, once it's been lasered off, how can it come back? I don't want to have sex with someone that reminds me of my mother in the shower in the 70s.
That's fair enough. I mean, look, I totally get that.
What themes are explored in Keli's music and performances?
Trauma. Childhood trauma. You don't want that.
But each to their own. Whatever anyone wants, whatever a woman wants to, however she wants to present herself, I'm good with that.
Who are we to... Well, I mean, you know, you can also say what you like and what you don't like. I think that's fine. So I get it. Yeah. I think if you're not into the bush, you've got to say it.
Respect. Yeah, but not when you first see the bush. You don't recoil. Yeah. There's no recoiling. You've got to be a gentleman. Yeah. You're a party guy, but also known as a sweetie pie.
Yeah.
How have you combined the two together? I really like that, Party Guy, Sweetie Pie.
It's true. I mean, I've kind of just been painted with the brush of the Sweetie Pie and the Party Guy. I think we all enjoy a party. Oh, yeah, right. And I think we all enjoy, I mean, I'm a big fan of love, you know. So am I. I think we all are. And I don't know. I've kind of fallen into the role of the party guy, Sweetie Pie, which I should call my next album Party Guy Sweetie Pie. That's a great name.
And you can have it for free. I'm not going to wet my beak on that name.
There'll be no lawsuits. You can feature on it. I'll give you some. We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out. Just a little shout out would be lovely. Who doesn't love a shout out on an album?
Yeah, no, I think the best people that do know how to party are the people with a good heart on them. And I'd like to think that, you know, I'm by no means the perfect man at all. I've never said that I am. We all make mistakes.
But you appear, from the outside looking in, that you have, let's say, you've got your shit together professionally, romantically.
