Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville

Best Punks Ever (well, perhaps) Hot Snakes have called it quits after six years of rockin' good times. A note on the band's label's website, Swami, states: "So the rather sad news to report is that Hot Snakes will be packing it in after our current plans. It was a complete thrill to be part of and satisfied my insatiable hunger for sinister, throbbing action."
Hot Snakes released three albums and were the final band to record a Peel Session while the man himself was alive. The band will play outstanding shows in Australia, Norway and Sweden before possibly doing a few farewell shows, one of which might happen in London.

thats just typical ive been waiting for these guys to come up here for ages, and now they split. pah, some people would do anything to avoid this area.
but still they will be sorely missed amongst the greendays and my chemical romances. -

This is shit! Why is it the great bands who always split up before their time?-
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
What can say except 'Nooooooo!'
This is bad news. Audit in Progress is one of the best albums EVER.

The moral to this tale is:
DON'T BE LAME. GO AND SEE BANDS WHEN THEY TOUR.-
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
I guess... could have seen them in Newport, but it clashed with the Wales football game and the trains were rammed!

Fucking hell. One of the best bands around and definitely the best "punk" band now Fugazi are on permanent hiatus. So depressing. Also the best live band Ive seen in years. Fuck!

Terrible news. -

This is literally the worst day of my life, come back back to work after a nice holiday to loads of catastrophes and now this. At least I got to see them twice and maybe, just maybe, the spare time this will free up in Speedo's schedule will allow a little...RFTC reunion. -
Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
Yes, I'm crossing my fingers for a RFTC reunion too! As much as I like the Hot Snakes, I personally think they aren't a patch on RFTC. -

Hot Snakes were about ten times better than RFTC. I like RFTC but come on!-
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
And Sultans are twice as good as Hot Snakes.

RFTC own Hot Snakes. But still, I would've preferred to have both instead of one. Another band dead then... *sighs*-
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
sorry about the other thread. I pressed the wrong button -
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
It's pretty silly comparing them to be honest. I think I love both of them the same.....although my live RFTC experiences just pip Hot Snakes to the post...JUST.

This sucks. Although i have heard a rumour that this might mean that they tour some Drive like Jehu stuff. That would b amazingly amazing. Still tis just a rumour. -

Surely they'd need to dislodge Mark Trombino from his producer hole somewhere in the depths of a pop-punk band factory. Dude's gotta be raking it in producing all those major label geeks.
To be honest I don't think I'd go see it unless it WAS Drive Like Jehu. I'm saying that now, but if it happened I'd be down the front first chance like the hypocritical bastard I am. -
Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
Please do tour some Drive Like Jehu stuff!-
Re: Hot Snakes slither to Quitsville
Hot Snakes will be missed hugely. They show to all the half-arsed MTV2/NME bands what 'rockin' is all about. Their London show this year was mindblowing, and thats no exaggeration. John & Rick: don't let the partnership end, Reis & Froberg must continue!
