Another in a long line of boy/girl musical duos (we think there's a conveyor belt somewhere), Andy and Lena Hot Beds met through the internet to "manufacture anthems dedicated to the frenzied paranoid claustrophobia of living in London". The pair say they have an "anytime/anywhere" attitude towards gigging with the band and have played all over the UK. Their infectious single, 'Frantic' occupied the Music Unleashed Chart for 7 weeks earlier this year and made number one on Alien Acid Radio's tracks of 2008. A scuzzy slice of eighties synth, reminiscent of Kate Bush mixed with Gary Numan, it's no surprise the song's been such a hit. Watch out Ting Tings there's a new couple in town. - London Tourdates

Bio
Andy and Lena met through the internet to manufacture anthems dedicated to the frenzied paranoid claustrophobia of living in London. With an anytime/anywhere attitude to touring Hot Beds have played across the UK and had airplay on various radio stations.
The thunderous "Leave Everything" hit number 1 on the Tourdates Unsigned Chart in August 2009 and remained there for 5 weeks. The melancholic follow-up, "Christmas Started in October", took the top slot on the 20th of December, making it Tourdates' official Christmas No.1.
