Hot Hot Heat At 12:17 PM by: Nana |
I went to a concert on Thursday night. Hot Hot Heat were playing. The opening acts were Louis XIV, and The Futureheads. It was an awesome concert.
Louis XIV: I didn't get to see their set, because I was late for the show. But I "have" their album, and I like their sound. The songs are full of sexual energy and cockyness. They have a music player on their site, so if you're interested take a listen to Louis XIV.
The Futureheads: I heard one of their songs on The OC ("Decent Days and Nights" is the name of the song), but apart from that I had never heard any material. I love these guys now. They have so much energy and stage presence, and the band seems to have a sort of wild chemistry. There are some downloads on their site, so take a look around.
Hot Hot Heat: The headliners of the show. They didn't disappoint. I wanted to dance to their awesome hit "Talk to Me, Dance With Me", so I moved up to the front of the crowd. BIG MISTAKE. As soon as the song started, everyone's arms went up, and the smells came out. I made my way to the back of the crowd again in a drunken stupour (yes, drunk on noxious smells!).
Hot Hot Heat played all of the songs that I loved from their EP and from their previous album (except for "Cairo"... bastards). Their light show was amazing, and really set the mood for the set. My friend Mark rightly commented that they were 70% Hot Hot Heat, 30% light show.
The lead singer, Steve Bays, has this enormous growth on his head that is supposedly his hair. It is larger than life in person, and adds to the notion that he is a diva, along with the band's scarves and ultra tight pants. I make fun, but these guys are cool. Also, their drummer is 11 feet tall and wore a mustard yellow shirt with a black tie. I imagine that he clothes himself with a crane of some sort.
