The press release claims The Hot Damn! are effervescent, and that seems to be a very accurate description of a band that is the musical equivalent of a well-shaken bottle of pop primed to explode. With a string of ultra-catchy tunes delivered with infectious enthusiasm, fine playing and spot-on vocal harmonies, their debut album ‘Dancing on the Milky Way’, set for Friday 27th September 2024, via Fat Earth Records, should be on your musical radar. The Hot Damn! also have a new deal in place with global booking agency Echelon Talent so 2024 looks like being a busy year. To coincide with the headline tour announcement (full details below), check out an acoustic take on fan favourite ‘Loud and Clear’.
Hi-octane neon-clad sensations The Hot Damn! have recently partnered with Echelon Talent and now are ready to blast their way around the UK with a headline tour this November. The tour kicks off in Cardiff on 1st November before whizzing by Nottingham, London, Newcastle, Whitby, Glasgow, winding up in Manchester on 10th November.
“PERMISSION TO LAND?? Time for an invasion of The Hot Damn! kind. We are thrilled to be touring the UK in November and would be even thrilled-er if you lovely bunch came along for the ride!! Coming to a town near youuuuuu, make sure you are down to party with us this November!! **Guaranteed to blow your mind, batteries not included **”
“We are over the moon to be partnering with Echelon Talent Agency to help spread our special blend of good-time rock to the far corners of the universe! Our mission is to make rock fun again..... so expect glitter curtains, confetti cannons, high kicks, beach balls, good times and sweet vibes, with a cherry on top! If we’re squishing the 4 of us into a Travelodge room every night we’re gunna make damn sure it’s worth it! Our album will be out by then too so no excuse for not singing along to every word!”
“Welcome to The Hot Damn! Unplugged. Join us for an intimate, stripped-down rendition of our fan-favourite, ‘Loud and Clear’. If you love the jangle of 90s guitar, this one’s for you. Imagine the musical offspring of Eddie Vedder and Alanis Morissette - this track captures that unique sound and takes you to that good place.”
The acoustic version of the song features as a bonus track on the standard CD edition of the album and is available to pre-order now in multiple formats (including cosmic splatter vinyl and holographic deluxe CD) via www.thehotdamn.com
Based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, The Hot Damn! burst on to the UK circuit in 2021. Formed from ashes of bands The Amorettes and Tequila Mockingbyrd, the band boasts the talents of Gill Montgomery (The Amorettes), Josie O'Toole (Tequila Mockingbyrd), Laurie Buchanan (Aaron Buchanan and the Cult Classics) and Lzi Hayes (New Device/Sophie Lloyd band).
The Hot Damn! have completed multiple UK tours supporting the likes of Fozzy and Hayseed Dixie as well as appearing at Steelhouse, Maid of Stone, Planet Rockstock and Stonedead festivals and are set to make their European debut in September.
Riding high on the airwaves, their catchy choruses are to be found on A-list rotation on stations such as Planet Rock, Kerrang! and Primordial radio in the UK and Radio BOB in Germany. Latest single 'Jukebox on the Radio' scored a coveted Classic Rock 'Track of The Week' nomination as well as being selected by the legendary Johnnie Walker for inclusion on his BBC Radio 2 Rock Show.
