The Kiss Offs, Motorama, The Breeders, Shepard's Herd, Jewws, Nirvana, Pee, Das Wanderlust, The Outsiders, The Jesus & Mary Chain. Anything fast, catchy and noisy.
Then along comes Hot Hands. Jeffrey (guitar and vocals) and Kristin (drums and vocals) are a gritty, blatant noisefest creating the perfect under two-minute loud pop song. Members of Courtneys, Jeanie and the Tits, the Hot Six. The band is recording seven songs at Homeless Studios with Nick Gardiakos. Four songs will be on their debut 7" on Kick Bright Records.
REVIEW: "Hailing straight from the garage down the block, Hot Hands strips it all down to the absolute bare essentials to grind out their two-minute (that's all it takes to get their point across) noise-pop tunes. Drums, guitar and screeching vocals meld into one pumping ball of energy that throws back to the days of Darby Crash and the Germs, minus the flying beer bottles. Probably." -- Orlando Weekly. 1/3/08.
LIVE REVIEW: "Closing was the hit-and-run garage-pop of Hot Hands. Comprised of drummer Kristin Messina and guitarist Jeffrey Howard (whose collective résumé includes Jeanie & the Tits, the Courtneys and the Sharp Objects), the girlfriend-boyfriend duo bashed out a set that was exactly like my first kiss: amateurishly sloppy but totally awesome. Besides enjoyable music, the ridiculous exchanges between the two made the performance virtually a comedy act." -- Orlando Weekly. 1/10/08.
