BIOGRAPHY Hoover’s Red Dress was a short-lived project between Craig Conte and Mike Donohue after Self Storage broke up. The duo never formerly recorded a studio CD, but they did record two acoustic songs on a 4-Track at their practice studio. These songs, Charlie Don’t Surf and War Love, were used on a demo tape that they used for booking gigs. In 1997 through 1998 Hoover’s Red Dress played the local clubs and coffee houses. The band dissolved shortly thereafter, but Conte and Donohue continued to play music with one another in other musical projects. The name of the band is derived from the life of J. Edgar Hoover, the former leader of the F.B.I. It is rumored in the biography, The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover, that Hoover was a homosexual, and that he used to dress up in women’s clothes; hence, the name, Hoover’s Red Dress.
