Bio
On the 14th February, 2005 Hotpants Romance formed two hours before their first gig, with a vow to play once a year on Valentines Day, after a storming two and a half song set the audience wanted more. The original plan to just play an annual gig was dropped in favour of playing anywhere and everywhere that anyone would have them. Hotpants became a compulsory uniform by the third show and soon Hotpants Romance became the talk of the Manchester music scene. After a year or two of playing gigs in bedrooms they found themselves on the Megabus taking their own brand of pop music the length and bredth of the country. In 2007 Nightingale Robert Lloyd released the first Hotpants Romance album on his Big Print label. It’s a Heatwave‚ crashed into the world, catching the attention of music press and radio stations to great critical acclaim. 2008 saw them tour the USA twice. Since then they have toured with Cars Can Be Blue, Christy and Emily,The Lovely Eggs, Vivian Girls and The Ting Tings and been played on radio stations around the world, including a recent live session at BBC 6 Music on Marc Riley's show.
The new album 'The International Hotpants Romance' will be released on 08/11/2010 on Cherryade Records in the UK and HHBTM in the USA.
