WE HAVE NEWS!!! AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!!

First off :

Let's give a warm, 1200 degrees Fahrenheit-style welcome to the newest  (and definitely tallest) member of The Hot Showers: Frank-Phil! 

A man with such shredding power that he has two first names because one would not be enough to capture his sheer face-melting intensity! Frank-Phil will join us on guitar, and possible even some bass. Maybe both at the same time!

Rock on!

SECONDLY!

Now - as you can see, we posted up some new songs. Superstar, Bad Scars & Past Lovers, and Blue Midnight were all recently recorded for demo form (there's still a multitude of percussion and keyboard, and whatever else we can find that might sound cool to be recorded later on). These are not final mixes, however, we hope you enjoy 'em, y'all.

On that note - lookout for more recordings to be posted in the next few months. On our side, 2009 will be the year where you'll see us doing more shows than ever before, so if you live in Montreal, we'll be coming to a town near you!!

On that note, keep on rockin' - hope you like the songs!

HELLO!

HOPE YOU LIKE THE NEW SONG!

SO HERE'S THE STORY BEHIND THE 3 SONGS WE HAVE POSTED UP SO FAR:

"GOLF SHOES" - A 2006 DEMO VERSION. FEATURED BRAE ON GUITAR AS WELL FOR THIS ONE. THERE WILL BE A NEW VERSION POSTED SOON, ALL NEWLY-RECORDED.

"MESSERSCHMITT" - HOME RECORDED. DRUMS ARE DONE BY COMPUTER (I GIVE MYSELF TWO THUMBS UP FOR THAT ONE). THERE WILL BE A NEW, NON-ROBOTIC, NON-COMPUTER VERSION OF THIS SONG POSTED SOON AS WELL.

"DISTRACTIONS" - BRAND NEW. DRUMS WERE STUDIO RECORDED. VOCALS, GUITAR AND BASS WERE HOME RECORDED. AS THIS IS A DEMO, NOTHING IS PROPERLY MIXED, BUT THIS IS JUST A TASTE OF WHAT'S TO COME!

AS WE GO ALONG, WE'LL HAVE NEW SONGS POSTED UP HERE, EVENTUALLY SOME THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD, WITH BETTER RECORDINGS, BETTER SOUND QUALITY, AND MUCHO RAW POWER.

KEEP IT REAL! WHATEVER THE HELL THAT MEANS!

The band that brings you an explosive (but not really explosive because then we'd be dead)  musical extravaganza every time has some really good news.

We're recording an album! Will be done by year's end!

I LOVE MYSPACE'S NEW FONT FEATURES THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE WE LOOK HUGE RIGHT NOW!!! MICKEY LOOK AT THIS, DUDE!!

The drums are already recorded! They sound absolutely amazing and very, very loud (this is good by a drummer's standards...) so thanks to Red Rhino Studios for kicking serious ass!

We'll have 12 songs on it! They will all rock! Except for the ballads!

All done in Do-It-Yourself fashion! We're taking our time with recording to have our first done well, and by the standards we choose! Not that we have a choice! But we're not complaining at all!

     RAW POWER.    

We like to jam! So come see us randomly at the Crobar, on Crescent street (right next and above Brutobia)!

We'll let you know when we're going as soon as we know!

So keep checkin' back this page!

...Because also, as the recording process goes on, we're gonna post stuff as it's being developped! Hope you like it rough! Also, I'm gonna learn to mess around more with this new blog design thing! This is so cool!!

Now lay your weary heads to sleep, for The Hot Showers' time is drawing near.......(Imagine King Diamond narrating that last line, it'll sound much more impressive...and that's how I mean it.)

Your Blogger With A Cause,

Hello people!!

So here's a rundown of a generally awesomely awesome night, which we had the Pub Jacques Cartier! First off, and quite importantly,we had lots of free beer! We want to thank those responsible for providing us with this! It worked!!

Now, as for the show itself, we played a brief 40 minute set in support of fellow Montreal rockers, Shyna, and it was a really, really fun set. Actually, we were able to get a pretty decent recording of it, so once I finish reading the owner's manual and figure out how to do this, I'll transfer that over and post it in herre (spelled like that Nelly song, but then with more grit and less bandaid-on-cheek).

There'll be more news soon, more shows, you know, stuff that a band does and all that, coming shortly. Stay tuned for those live songs, they'll be up shortly!

Here is the setlist in order:

MESSERSCHMITT

SUPERSTAR

GOLF SHOES

BLUE MIDNIGHT

BAD SCARS

I'M THE WIND

DANCING IN A DARK ROOM

VIVA FOREVER (SPICE GIRLS COVER)

Thanks to everyone that showed up!!

Cheers!!!!!

Screams!!!

Demonic Laughter From Beyond!!

Your ever loving poet of a blogger,

Shawn

Hello you magnificent ones!

So as you can see, hear and experience (unless you have no speakers, or your sound is off, or they're just broken) a brand spankin' new song has been put up: Messerschmitt!!!

Yes indeed, keep looking back, this is just a taster. It will be reworked in the next week, and in the next few weeks, more fantastic future Grammy winners will be up!

Please leave comments, reviews (even if they're about a completely different band), spam (underrated), and thoughts! We wanna know what you think! That's right mom!

We hope you love it all! We love you! More than you love yourselves!!

Until next time!!

Your favorite blog-rebel,

Shawn

Oh also!!! We have a show!! Pub Jacques Cartier, April 26 2008! Details on main page!

Yesterday marked our very first show in 3 years, and though we can't literally tear the roof off because we're not that muscular, this was a very cool show.

Thanks to everyone who came down, hope you liked it as much as we did...as a reminder, here was the setlist:

(FIRST SET)

WHY DON'T YOU
SUPERSTAR
SIMI
BAD SCARS
1000 ANGELS
BLUE MIDNIGHT
LOVE GUN (KISS)
MESSERSCHMITT
DOO WOP
GOLF SHOES
I'M THE WIND
VIVA FOREVER (SPICE GIRLS)

(SECOND SET)

CHILI
CORAZON
LISBON
BACKSTREETS (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN)
DOWN BY THE RIVER (NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE)
WHAT A WASTER (THE LIBERTINES)
DANCING IN A DARK ROOM
ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (NEIL YOUNG) (WE LIKE NEIL YOUNG)

And so was a funtastic free extravaganza brought to you by yours truly!

Lastly and not leastly, we wish to thank the bands Danny Rebel and Igloo Arsenal who helped to make this a night that will be remembered as Live Aid's Bastard Cousin. There was really no good cause we were fighting for, in fact we weren't fighting for anything at all, and instead of stories of David Bowie entering dressing rooms and no one remembering what hapened afterwards, we have Chris who is absolutely sure that we played Nostalgia as well last night. Myself, I don't remember such song being played, though I remember everything else. So Chris, don't give up hope, you may be right, but I'm the one writing the blogs, and until then, the setlist is what my memory says it is. If my memory tells me that I stripped completely to perform an acapella version of The Power Of Love by Celine Dion, than I did.

Rock on!!!
