MERRY CHRISTMAS… STILL

thehotshowers — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:43:05 +0000

Well, Facebook and Myspace got the drop on you old site, but all is well! All our dear page-readers will soon get the news.

As a sort of belated christmas gift, you can now enjoy a brand new christmas song complete with christmas cheers, jeers and Shakespeares (King Lear’s?). Entitled Merry Christmas, it is currently streaming on our myspace or you can download it from the immensely popular site MEGAUPLOAD at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4C494GSN.

So, once more from the merry bunch: Have a merry merry, happy happy, drunky drunky time this holiday season and may the new year bless you with more Hot Showers crap (like shows and albums…. hourray for self-promotion!).

New News!

Hello there!
Though we haven’t posted many updates, we’ve been keeping busy!
We currently are working on over 15 new songs for a new EP, followed by the 2nd album, which we’re hoping for a Spring 2012 release. We’ll soon be doing some pre-production on them, and are looking into which studio to record in. It’ll be a completely different process than with Memories Of Melodies, and we’re really looking forward to it.

If you haven’t heard yet, our 2nd annual Movember show is announced. It will take place Saturday December 3 at Pub St-Ciboire in Montreal, with The Ravens joining us. The day before, on dec. 2nd, we’ll be playing with The Midnite Lovers in Trois-Riviere for the new EP release party. Should be a very healthy weekend.

Oh, and we’re buying a shooter to the 3 people with the most awesome Mo’s on December 3, so make sure you let that beautiful ‘stache grow for a good cause and some potential free booze!

Another project worth mentioning is a few months ago, one of our shows was filmed and recorded live for an upcoming Music 4 Cancer DVD. It should hit the shelves also around Spring 2012, and we’re really looking forward to it!

It’s been a hell of a year for us, and we’re looking forward to ending it on a high note, with a lot coming up in the next year.

Cheers to you, and see ya at the show!!!!
The Hot Showers

PS: Checked out our drummer Shawn’s website yet? www.thembluemidnights.com Lots of cool interviews and contests of awesome bands playing in our fair city.

End of Movember

NEW NEWS AND OLD NEWS

Well, well.

If you guys didn’t know already, we are now a 3-piece. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT WE HAVE 25% LESS INSPIRATION!!! What? Nobody thought it did? Anyway. We are arguably working on the greatest string of future releases that mankind will ever see:

- First up, “Songs for a Musical”.
Our talented friends Alex Rose (see pic)

Alex

and Louis Lazaris (check out his video clip for our friends from Tyger Tyger) are currently working on a short film for the CBC, that they are writing and directing. Said movie, turns out to be a musical, for which yours truly is musically directing-ing, and for which the band as just recorded 3 songs at Studio 8. Huzzah!

- Secondly, we are planning the recording and subsequent release of a new EP that will showcase a more playful aspect of the band (I also don’t know what that means). Will probably see the light this fall, maybe sooner.

- And finally, we are currently culling tracks for our new album. So far, only our “Rihanna’s What’s my Name” cover has made the cut.

Oh, and for some thing or other, expect vinyl. Goodbye!

FROM SOREL WITH LOVE

thehotshowers — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:23:40 +0000

Ah…. the giblotte! If I knew what you were I’d be even more exited for tonight.

Yes ladies and gents, we’re playing Sorel tonight with The Brains for the first night of the Giblotte fest.

So come on down to O’Callaghan’s Irish Pub and rock out with your socks out (in the event that you walking around in socks results in them being soaked with booze, we shall not be held responsable)!

QUOTH THE RAVEN, “NEVERMORE.”

The Hot Showers & The Ravens at Monte Cristo

Forging ahead out of the dark, the Raven came upon a clearing. A warm spring blossoming at it’s center invited him to rest upon it’s bosom… Or something.

The Hot Showers are proud to once agin’ rock the epicentre of cool: Ste-Therese’s Monte Christo ! Life-affirming and hopefully “Poe-quote-loving” the Ravens will come down the mountain of greatness and let us nibble at their feet…

(btw, the inviting clearing is the Monte Christo, we’re the warm spring and the Ravens are the Raven… talk about poetry!)

See ya there!
