You guys kick some major ass - the show sold out in advance! It's been a really crazy end of 2009, and having you sing your lungs out reminds us where home really is. We played at Jammin Java back as a coffee house and to have grown with it to being a full blown concert venue is really something special. They really care about the music - and that along with you all is why we keep playing there.

It was also a blast getting to hang out with everyone and meet some new people at Chipotle afterwards. I actually was really busy and didn't even get to eat a burrito (which never happens for me while in Chipotle) but I wanted to make the most of seeing everyone while we were there, plus had some cake and baked goods which were delicious!

There have already been a bunch of photos + videos tagged on facebook from last night and you should make sure to add yours. Thanks again for the amazing experience and we'll be back in the area soon :)

We are proud to announce that we've been selected by Taco Bell's Feed the Beat program as one of the top bands in the country, along with All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Forever the Sickest Kids, We The Kings, Owl City, Atreyu, and many other national acts!  Taco Bell will be providing a delicious fourthmeal for us when we're hungry out on the road, so we are going to be eating a lot of Cheesy Double Beef Burritos, Cheesy Gordita Crunches, and Caramel Apple Empanadas!!  Thanks Taco Bell!  Taco Bell's Feed the Beat program also provides marketing support for all of the selected bands.

Let us know if you want to go hit a Taco Bell after the show when you see us on tour.. we'll probably be down!

See the official press release here!

You people really like free music!  So much that you managed to download over 15,000 songs in ONE FREAKIN DAY!  Way to go!  We're really excited about all the new people listening to our music. 

So now you've got to COME SEE US LIVE!  See you out on the road.

Our new friend Annie Reuter recently caught a set we played at Webster Hall.  She had great things to say about us!  Check out what she wrote here:

Thanks Annie! 

We did it! And it's all thanks to you! The incredible rallying of support by all of our amazing fans, family and friends was truly something to behold. We can not begin to explain how deeply we are moved by your love and support! To reduce your lives to becoming clicking zombies literally around the clock just to help us succeed and further our careers truly validates all of our hard work and suffering.

We are so fired up for the coming months and the next few tours. We have seen a tremendous growth in just this past week let a lone that last few months of people surrounding the band and fans coming to shows. Let's continue to take this band straight to the top. We promise that we will remember every one of you and that there is a special place in Hotspur world for everyone who has ever helped us through these trying times!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We promise we will never turn you into zombie clickers again (at least not for a little while!!)

Here's a little re-cap of the competition:

Day One: Voting polls open with a frenzy of activity. Chino and Hotspur come out sprinting. However, Hotspur is in NYC playing a show and does not have internet access for an entire day. Fans hold it down with little or no encouragement. Chino takes the lead.
Day Two: Hotspur has the internet! Rallies fan support and votes. Dave does not sleep for at least 36 hours. Gap narrows significantly. Chino still in the lead. People suspect cheating.
Day Three: Intense rallying around Hotspur. 100s of people voting around the clock slaving to the click, click, click, click, click, click, click....Hotspur and Chino neck and neck. Hours of voting non-stop produce no change in score. Brutal.
Day Four: Hotspur takes the lead over night. Obviously our fans are completely insane and incredibly dedicated. Minds turn to mush, behinds get sore, fingers stop working, eyes become crosseyed. Yet still they click, click, click, click. At this point everyone I know, scores and scores of fans and random ass family notify that they have been voting literally non-stop for days! Hotspur takes a commanding lead.
Day Five: Hotspur has a huge lead in the final hours of the contest yet people continue to vote out of sheer determination to ensure that this ends in our favor. Victory announced, tears flow, vomiting ensues, sleep deprivation is so bad that people can't even go to sleep (they've forgotten how!). Hotspur plays a private party and then has they're own private party! Sleep...............

What a weird week! We look to the future with hope and optimism. You all have really made us happy and we can't wait to give it back to you! We are making our entire catalog of music downloadable for free for one day as a token of our gratitude. We'll keep you posted as to when that will be.

See you on the road!


LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Hotspur
