Hot Hot Heat

[Law of Loud]

Of the bands that I've been listening to lately, one that has caught my eye for a rather special sound is Hot Hot Heat. They have a rather unique sound, defined by Steve Bay's often frenetic vocals, their use of the hammond organ, and a keen ear for rhythm and melody. Songs like "Talk to Me, Dance with Me" exhibit this strong sense of melody and direction, with tight harmonies and a fantastic, danceable rhythm. On my word, as soon as I get whiff of Hot Hot Heat coming home for a gig in the Seattle area, as they live up here as well, I will have to go see them. Unfortunately, as Dante (their guitarist) left the band, this might be a little bit, but hopefully we will see them continue in the future.

Hot Hot Heat definately finds their own niche in the world of music. Anybody else here enjoy them? Probably my favorites numbers lately were "Talk to Me, Dance with Me", "In Cairo", and "Bandages".

Anybody else around here into Hot Hot Heat? I intend to see if I can post some short blurbs on a number of other bands, maybe to give them a touch of exposure and such things, to bands that I find unique and refreshing in the world of music. Nothing for the big bands that I'm sure you've all heard about, but smaller, lesser-known bands such as Hot Hot Heat.

As an artist, I would definately appreciate somebody throwing this sort of support my way, so if I see another artist worthy of notice, I'm going to give it to them.
