http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40330&rws=%2Fhot-hot-heat%2Fdiscography.rssHot Hot Heat formed in 1999 around keyboardist/vocalist Steve Bays, starting out as a synth punk outfit in Victoria, British Columbia. Drummer Paul Hawley and bassist Dustin Hawthorne formed the group's backbone through this period (the fruits of which can be heard on <I>Scenes One Through Thirteen</I>), but things changed for Hot Hot Heat when guitarist Dante DeCaro joined in early 2001, at which point they dropped the synths and moved towards a more stripped down rock 'n' roll -- if persistently pop -- sound. "We've basically brought together four categories of influences: classic Beatles and Stones; punk-rock; the whole singer/songwriter era, and anything contemporary worth listening to," explains Bays. This change of direction was followed by the release of debut EP <I>Knock Knock Knock</I> on Sub Pop in 2002 and, later the same year, LP <I>Make Up The Breakdown</I>, produced by Jack Endino (the knob-twiddler on Nirvana's <I>Bleach</I>). Shortly after the album's release, the band signed with Warner Music. In 2004, having completed the recording of their second album proper, <I>Elevator</I>, DeCaro left Hot Hot Heat to be replaced by Luke Paquina, formerly of San Francisco's the Stradlers. The band went on to release <i>Happiness LTD.</i> in 2007. - Jamie DollingIndie/Alternativeen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:22:34 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40330&rws=%2Fhot-hot-heat%2Fdiscography.rss Hot Hot Heat formed in 1999 around keyboardist/vocalist Steve Bays, starting out as a synth punk outfit in Victoria, British Columbia.
