Hot Club De Paris
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Biography:
The band formed in early 2004 after Matthew and Paul met in 03 working as temps at Chester racecourse. It’s members were involved in other bands in the Liverpool music scene including street punkers Down and Outs and new wave popsters Victor FME.
Further to their shared love of American punk rock bands (Minutemen, Firehose, SST Records bands etc) they became interested in math rock and experimental indie bands which influenced their sound considerably. They signed to Moshi Moshi Records in 2005, and have since toured extensively around the world in support of their debut record.
They have been featured on a number of music-based TV shows in the UK and their record enjoyed airplay on a number of radio stations including BBC Radio1, BBC 6 Music and XFM, whose DJ John Kennedy has championed the band. Kennedy claimed that their debut album is ‘one of the best of 2006′.
They have toured with a number of bands including Jamie T,Maxïmo Park and The Who.
They played at the 2007 SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. [1] and have toured in the UK, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, France, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, America, Holland and India.
They are currently recording their second album in Chicago with Brian Deck. Brian Deck has previously produced Iron and Wine and Modest Mouse.
