The Flys (American band)


The Flys were an American post-grunge group, formed in Hollywood in 1994 and on indefinite hiatus since 2012. They had success with the 1998 alternative top five hit "Got You ", produced by David J. Holman, the video for which featured actors Katie Holmes and James Marsden. "Got You " was featured on their second album Holiday Man in 1998 and also appeared on the soundtrack for the 1998 MGM film Disturbing Behavior, which starred Holmes. Their music is also featured in soundtrack, with the track "What You Want". "She's So Huge" was featured in the 2001 film Sugar & Spice. The band has shared the stage and also toured with many other well known acts and rock bands since the beginning in the mid-1990s when Adam and Josh first put the band together.
Two members of the band, Adam Paskowitz and Josh Paskowitz, are members of the Doc Paskowitz family, described by the New York Times as the "First Family of Surfing."
With the single "Got You " reaching No. 5 on the Modern Rock Charts and featured in Disturbing Behavior, the Flys' 1998 album Holiday Man album reached No. 109 on the Billboard charts. A second single, "She's So Huge", peaked at No. 32 on Modern Rock Charts. In 2000, The Flys released their third album, Outta My Way. The album contained the single "Losin' It", as well as two samples from two songs by the Beach Boys from their Pet Sounds album, "Here Today" and "Caroline, No".
The Flys toured many times during the band's lifespan, opening for other well known groups. After their last tour, the band went on hiatus. Soon after, the band found actor/musician Jordan Lawson to play bass, Rob Jones to play drums, and George Castells to play guitar. In 2008 they announced on their MySpace page that they had returned with an iTunes single along with a remake of their biggest hit, entitled "Got You Where I Want You 2008".
