As a final gift to all their
fans that have been so loyal, the gang has made a last minute
decision to play one final show. And what better occasion
to end it all but a Christmas party. That's right, on
FRIDAY DECEMBER 11TH you are all invited to THE HOTS' CHRISTMAS
EXTRAVAGANZA BIG BASH TO END IT ALL. A friend of the
band (a scholar and a gentleman) Bo, has opened up his loft
space to host the party. Bo lives at 225 Sterling Road
- Unit 1 near Landsdown and Bloor (see google maps link below.
Double true!) It's going to be another classic party
as the gang will do their favorite originals for one last
time, with some Christmas spice thrown in for good measure.
If you are planning on doing E that night, don't. There
is a very high risk of sensory overload with possible bouts
of feeling 10 feet tall.
As usual the band will have some friends coming to pound out
some pagan beats and electronic noise (as my senile grandfather
likes to put it). An amazing band "The Eatons" will
be kicking the night off. Oh man, you don't want to
miss these guys. My gramps is their biggest fan.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This party is a BYOB event. There will
be plenty of mix and lots of cooling devices. Please
everyone, if you're drinking, don't drive. Please, please,
please.

February 17, 2009 Correlate this! and other
Mod Club Stories Here's a little example of correlation.
The Hots formed roughly three years ago. Since that
time we've seen awesomeness in North America reach
an all time high, douche bags being called out left, right
and centre, the green-car revolution, Sex In The City cancelled,
the White Sox break an 88 year losing streak, a black president
take office in America and a man walk on the moon.
Now I'm not saying that all these things were caused by
the uncompromising indi-rock coming from The Hots,
but you have to admit, it is a little suspicious.
There's no reason not to believe that The Hots weren't unresponsible
for all these things. It also may not be a coincidence
that every time they play the Mod Club I lose a little bit
of my brain, from my mind being blown like a dime store didgeridoo.
So this coming Saturday February 21st parting
with a little more of my grey matter as the band takes the
Mod Club stage another token must see show.
One of the truly great parts about this night is that
it's FREE. All you have to do is let us know that
you're coming and show up before 10:30pm. Those seem
like very simple tasks. The catch: if you come after
The Hots have started their set the guest list will not
be in effect and you will pay $15, which is never a good
price when free was an option. Two things, tell
us and get there before 10:30, which is when The Hots plan
on hitting the stage. So do it already. Coincidentally,
did you know that that was the original pitch for Nike's
"Just Do It" campaign? It was given by two Italian
guys from Queens.
Alright. So let's sum up. It hasn't been proven
that The Hots are responsible for everything good that has
happened in the last 3 years, but it also hasn't been proven
that they aren't. So really, what do you have to lose.
For instance, there's no reason not to believe that everyone
will leave the show with a puppy (or mammal based pet of
their choosing), and puppies rock. ~Scoop
December 5, 2008 Christmas with The
Hots Loft Party!
You know what I love about Christmas? David Bowie.
When he sings that duet with Bing Crosby he kind of seems
human (almost, anyway) and it gives me hope for mankind.
It's a Christmas miracle. You know what else I like
about Christmas? Parties. Which brings us to The
Hots Christmas Party. More

October 27, 2008 The Hots Launch New
Website!
I have a confession to make. I used to know nothing
about computers. I mean nothing. I thought Macs were
a regular sized McDonald's hamburgers before they got, you
know, big. I wasn't sure what a hard drive was but it
sounded intimidating and a kind of disturbing, when my imagination
dwelled on it too long. I would often wonder what cyber-space
was; could you rent it? Is it affordable? Will
I be able to park my Datsun there for the winter? I
was hopeless. Then MJ came to me and asked if I could
possibly write something to launch The Hots website.
I smiled and said "Of course", but secretly I wondered
what the H she was talking about. After using several
search engines, visiting many different blogs and combing
through wikipedia, I discovered that a 'website' has something
to do with 'the internet'. I panicked. How was
I supposed to write about a topic I know nothing about?
Well, they say that necessity is the milf of invention, so
I decided to join the 21st century and took a course on computers.
I'm not going to lie to you, three of my instructors died
in freak suicide accidents and sited my ineptitude at computering
as the sole reason. But I wasn't going to let a few
dead nerds stop me from achieving my goal. No matter
how many computer science graduates that weren't good enough
to get IT jobs and were teaching night school at community
college it took, I was going to learn about computerisers.
The Hots and their NEW WEBSITE. Have a look around.
You can listen to music, look at photos and see where and
when the next show will be. Dom has told me that there
are lots of big multi-media and interactive plans for the
site, which is exciting, if you believe anything a bass player
says. Also, if you check in regularly you'll be able
to monitor my decent into e-holism that will be festering
just below the surface of all my band updates. You'll
hear from me soon and often.
SYOTFS, ~Scoop
