Look! Out There!

Dear Hot Fog Fans,

Cancled Tour?

We aren’t used to failure or even anything closely resembling not being awesome and ruling, but recently, we encountered a minor set-back when we had to cancel a short tour with our bros, Glitter Wizard. The reasons aren’t important, but let’s just say that there is a reason why human beings evolved from monkeys and got out of the goddamned trees. We apologize to our many fans in the greater Los Angeles and San Diego areas, and mark our words – we WILL return and kick ass.

Big Show This Saturday, 10/8!

For those of you lucky enough to be in San Francisco this saturday, well, you are in for a treat… not like a rice crispy treat or fucking kettle corn or something – i mean like a huge METAL IN YOUR FACE treat.  Hot Fog and Glitter Wizard WILL grace the stage of Benders Bar and Grill and rocktober the shit out of Van Ness and the surrounding area. For details, please see our Facebook Invite or the calendar page of Hot Fog’s Hot Blog. We will go on at around 11, and we are going to bring it like that dude on that show who totally brought it.

News and Stuff

In case you forgot, we still have vinyl for sale of our genre-change debut EP: “Wyvern and Children First”. You can buy it from us directly at our Bandcamp site, or, for a limited time, get it from All That is Heavy, a kick-ass online record store “dedicated to stoner rock, doom, psychedelic, sludge and desert rock”. We are working on a new full length album that we will record on top of Mount Everest with Rick Rubin.  It will be out in 2012 after the word has ended. That is all.

Back in May of 2009, Noel Gallagher from Oasis had a premonition…. well, actually, he didn’t cuz we were already rocking as Hot Fog… maybe he “felt” our metal through the force or something. Here was the excerpt from his blog post:

Strange weather today. It’s about 80* and foggy!? Hot-fog! Mad as custard. Hang on a minute..hot-fog? That sounds like a name for an early 70s prog band. And if isn’t then it should be. In fact, I hereby  copyright the name HOT-FOG for future use – y’know, if I ever start a dance troupe, or summat. HOT-FOG! It’s fuckin’ genius and you heard it here first.

He is right about one thing… it is genius, but he’s sadly wrong about this copyright business.  Now, we like Oasis… they aren’t metal or brutal in any way, but they are proper rock ‘n rollers who drink and cuss and get kicked out of places – - so we are willing to let this slide — BUT – Noel and Liam and whomever else – just be warned – do NOT fuck with us – Nutmeat will kill you in the face, and he’ll do it real slow-like if he’s mad.

Cry in the Dojo, Shred on the Battlefield

So, you are probably asking yourself a few questions right now… Is that a Custom San Dimas Charvel? Is that a Floyd Rose floating tremolo? Is that Tommi Kazi of Hot Fog brandishing his new axe? Is that rising sun graphic the coolest fucking thing you’ve seen in a long time? The answers is ‘Yes’.  I have added another lady to the harum, and she is totally shredtastic.  As some of you know, Mike, the lead guitar player for Hot Fog ALSO brandishes a kick-ass Charvel from time to time, and this new acquisition will allow some “All San Dimas Guitarmonies”, which is awesome considering that their high school football team rules.  And yeah… i will whip it out this Sunday at Bottom of the Hill, so fucking be there.  Charvel/ Jackson guitar company — we are open to sponsorship discussions, but don’t fucking try and lowball us.

As many of you know, Hot Fog’s normally mild mannered bass player, Mr. Allan Moon, has a hard-charging, take-no-shit, alter ego: Nutmeat. Nutmeat is not to be trifled with or underestimated. Here is just a taste of what Nutmeat can bring if you start “slippin’”.



Last night, as per usual, Hot Fog was honing its chops, getting rad, and staying bros.  Matt Pike, leader of the greatest Metal band of our modern era (High on Fire), learned of our radness while at a Sleep rehearsal with our good buddy lars, from Ezee Tiger and the Sound Guys, and this was his response.

Get rad with this, assholes.

Its totally cool, Matt – we can all get rad and get huge air in our own ways.  You rule.
