REVIEWS
"Now, a band with a different flavour, a mental sort of jazzy punk funk - they're called Hot Head Show and I absolutely love it." - Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music"Nimble,
racing music with moments of Nick Cave passion and Beefheart blues
contortion - they offer the complex pleasure of shaking your head in
three directions at once." - Clive Bell, The Wire
"Maddeningly engaging … Hot Head Show are perfect for anyone who likes their bands weird and wild." - Kerrang Magazine _______________________________________________________
ABOUT
HOT HEAD SHOW are London's undisputed champions of Maximalist Avant-Bang. They are three young men singing whilst playing guitars and drums. In
2010 they released an AA 7-inch and toured Europe and then North America
with Les Claypool. In 2011 they released their debut album and two
banging music videos, toured Europe with Primus, and started appearing
on proper radio playlists. Then they recorded album number two, and
will now return to the road for two bursts of UK dates in April and
June, and extended European adventures in May and September.

MORE REVIEWS:
"Hot Head Show are inherently sexy … It seems they have a lot to say, but don't want to take too much time to say it." - Notion Magazine
"The
trio are experimental certainly, but that's like simply saying the sun
is quite warm. They are sweetly melodic one moment and hugely
unsettling the next, willfully sludgy then aggressively staccato, both
confrontational and conciliatory. By rights, it should make for one
unholy and uncoordinated shit storm, but "by rights" doesn't apply here
(few of the standard reference points do) and debut album The Lemon
LP is as unique and inventive as anything we've heard for a long
time." - The Mad Mackerel blog
"Remarkably
cool … Eleven extremely witty ditties played with fierce precision -
well-crafted songs that stick in your head, flatly refusing to budge.
Schizo jazzy sections crossed with big riffage give you the impression
this is going to be awesome live and indeed they are. Hot Head
Show have developed a sound entirely their own and it's damn good. These
guys deserve to be huge." - Bearded Magazine
"Any
band set to support Primus on a tour next month would be forgiven for
experiencing the pre-show jitters. Yet frontman Jordan Bennett is far
from quaking in his boots, instead both on and off stage he does appear
(dare I say it…?) kind of bad-ass. The band’s musical style is hard to
define … the melodies are layered with dynamic tempo changes and
syncopated arrangements with each song producing an unconventional and
brilliantly chaotic sound … The next London date for Hot Head Show will be to a sold out Brixton Acadamy and there is no doubt they will be well received … you can't help but admire Hot Head Show, even if their wardrobe choices are not to your liking." - London Music Blog
"They
pack more music into each of their songs than most bands manage in a
whole album … I can't say it out loud but there was talk of them
blowing Primus off the stage." - Flush the Fashion
"A real crowd-pleaser - it's got Pow. You need their album in your life. I'm serious." - Never Enough Notes blog
"I've
never heard anything quite like this before and I really can't compare
it directly with any one band … in truth there's not a day goes by
that I don't listen to it at least a couple of times. Almost beyond
description." - Sonic Abyss blog TICKETS£7 / £5 (conc)
