"They [Hot IQs] have a seranading art rock voice to match their subtle but frenzied guitar hooks...carry a charm that just enraptures." - URB Magazine
"Denver trio Hot IQs boast witty lyrics, shake-your-knee hooks, a hot female drummer and songs that make you want to dance through an avalanche." - SPIN
"The IQs’ strongest asset, however, might be vocalist Eli Mishkin. His theatrical, baritone swagger carries every song to unexpected melodic heights..."
CMJ.COM
"Insanely catchy and incredibly fun" - GorillavsBear
"Tight, bright and more hook-laden than a pirate ship, this attitude-heavy indie trio defies logic with songs that sound both instantly familiar and refreshingly weird." - The Denver Post

It breaks my heart that I cannot make either of your last shows... I was there for the 1st one, and I was there when you guys decided to do this 'band' thing so many years ago. But Life goes on and people must go their separate ways. You will always be in my top 5 favorite local bands (you were #1 for a very long time...even though I promoted other bands)... Good luck to you all. I wish you the best. Let the good times roll!
I had such a good time at your show at the Bluebird! Now I am really sad that you will be no more. We will still have the CDs and memories to live off of! Good luck with all of your future endeavors.
Thanks likewise for the inspiration and the honor of giving me a night I won't ever forget.
If I may ask, do you have plans to release any more of the songs off of what was eventually going to be "Follow The Architecture?" I found "Hungry Hungry Hypo" through Westword's web site, and it's wonderful. And is there any way to digitally purchase the songs off of Houndstooth?
I love you guys and I will truly miss your musical presence in this town. Last night's show was literally -The Best Concert- I have ever experienced in my life, and I can't thank you enough for that. <3
Don’t miss THE LEMONHEADS tomorrow 6/16 @ The Larimer Lounge!!! Make sure to buy your tickets today @ bigmarkstickets.com and check out their music video “Mrs. Robinson”!!!! The Lemonheads take the stage @ 11pm and the price is dirt cheap @ only 20$
i don't like what i've been hearing and i don't like that the farewell show is a day before the matt & kim show im going to im boston. good luck. see you in august.

Thanks for rocking. Makes me sad you guys are almost done. You guys were the band that really made me wanna start playing music. You're probably my favorite local band, and i've always thought we were lucky that you weren't too big or pretentious to stick around for fans. Thank you. -cody, TPS
