Hot Hot Heat - Waterloo Records, Austin TX - August 27, 2010
[from Victoria, British Columbia] this band is a
longtime source of conflict between Rockboy and me – I came to them through the
song “Fashion Fight Pause” which I really really liked but Rockboy would play
the album he had by them and it was so disappointingly different that I would
insist it wasn’t the same band – 2-3 years later, they’re coming to Waterloo
and we did a little more research – I’m still not totally straight on how it
happened but through various line-ups and odd EP releases, they began as a
synth punk band compared to The Screamers (only!!! the inspirations for my
favorite band since 2005: Lost Sounds) but then became a indie rock/post-punk:
booooorrring – so that’s what their show was – I cannot deny that they are
talented and high-quality but the ‘new’ sound is not for me – when I called out
my song, they looked surprised, bemused,… and said it wasn’t programmed into
the keyboard… ba duh dum (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnhouvcl25E)
