Hot Hot Heat It's not hard to believe that Canadian New Wavers Hot Hot Heat have been around for over 10 years now.
I am not that familiar with 'Hot Hot Heat’ apart from their big hit and a couple of their other singles but what I have heard I really like so I am looking forward tonight’s entertainment.
Judging by the title and promo artwork that is circulating at the moment you could be excused for feeling a tad scared that this four-piece are going soft in their old age.
When they first broke big with Make Up The Breakdown in 2003 there were hardly any bands around who specialised in synth-led guitar heavy music that could be danced to.
Fifteen months on Hot Hot Heat still occupy roughly the same position - plying their synthy trade around the club circuit - while the Franz barely remember what it's like to play to fewer than 10000 people.
