We are kicking off 2012 with a headlining spot on a killer bill at Bottom of the Hill with Lite Brite and Leather Feather, who are both good rocking bands… it will be a fog soaked kick in the face to be sure.  See the Details on Facebook.

In support of the show, just last night, we did an interview for the “Baghdad by the Bay” show on Radio Valencia – check out the Archive and listen! We actually managed not to sound as much like drunken morons as we are certainly capable of.

All Hail Downstroke

Time passes, entropy entropies, and shit changes – that’s the cold hard facts, jack. Fortunately, Hot Fog doesn’t really ever have to worry about that thanks to our really awesome deal with the devil. Nutmeat (may he rest in peace) was a great fucking bass player and one hell of a pimp, but the time has come for a new man, and Lars is that man. (Nutmeat’s not dead – he’s in the East Bay). Tentative nickname: Downstroke.  You tell us if you got something better.  Downstroke brings years of experience, a new flying V bass, and unfortunately, a taste for micro-brews (NOT COOL).  The hazing hasn’t been easy on Lars or our livers, but he’s come shining through, and we’ll be busting his ripe, red cherry at our next show,  May 10th @  The Knockout.  Check out show on Facebook too.

Sailing towards your face at a Hot Fog show near you

These just in… Hot Fog Shredmaster guitar picks.  These are made from the teeth of a tiger shark that was caught by hand by some crazy Hot Fog fans in Indonesia… we then, of course,  had our insignia emblazened on them.  They are .88 mm thick… a size that Tommi Kazi, Nutmeat, AND The Drake have all determined to achieve maximum shredability.  How might you acquire some of these awesome instruments of power? Come to our shows, and we will be generously flicking them into the crowd when we require a fresh implement.  If you get hit in the eye, think of it as the guitar gods smiling upon you and don’t sue us.

I don’t even remember seeing a bottle of whiskey…. Btw, we have our own YouTube channel now – - check it out! Hot Fog’s Hot Tube
