If you're biding your time, waiting for the next Supergrass album, you might be happy, nay, delighted to know that Gaz and Danny are creating a pleasant ruckus in the meantime with a side project aptly named, The Hot Rats.
Teaming up with world-renowned producer Nigel Godrich, The Hot Rats got cooking in the studio creating Pin Up style covers of a variety of pop and rock classics. With influences such as Syd Barrett, Roxy Music and The Sex Pistols, the chance for disappointment is incredibly low.
The Hot Rats will be hitting festivals across the UK this summer, so be sure to add them on all the relevant social networking sites to keep up on any tour dates and details on The Hot Rats debut album out in Autumn. A couple of tracks are already up for your listening pleasure.
