Artist: Hottub

Hottub @ the Starlight Ballroom, Philadelphia (3/19/09) Hottub are a raunchy and over-the-top female trio from Oakland who rap about Cleveland Steamers and such. Their music is so much more awesome than you would expect... for example, rhyming words like "man-bitch" with "sandwich" is pure genius. It made me a bit self-conscious when none of them tried to hump my head or stick their ass in my face; however, I was glad that the medium sized one didn't try riding on my back through the crowd. Seriously, head over to [...]

One of the most powerful creatures on this earth is a woman. Don't believe me? Three fierce ones took the stage Monday night and absolutely splattered my brains on the wall. They go by the names of Co-Co Machete, Loli Pop and Ambr33zy but use the alias Hottub to define the entirety of the group - along with DJs Jay-Sonic and Funky Finger who keep the beats spinning. They were dirty, boisterous, sexy, intimidating and more importantly... their hip-hop-daft-punk sound was phenomenal. Their outfits consisted of an old prom dress, dirty t-shirts, cheetah print tights, massive glasses and an [...]

Obviously The Ting Tings liked HOTTUB since that shout out on Perez Hilton. Now the duo is showing the mutual love & asked the 3 girls from Oakland, CA to tour with them through their entire N.

Joining the Ting Tings on their entire upcoming US tour is Oakland-based Hottub . Check out what Ting Tings' guitarist/vocalist Katie White has to say about Hottub: They're three really outrageous girls, kind of like Beth Ditto characters with spandex and disco balls on their heads. They sound like the Beastie Boys but with pop songs. It's really bizarre, but they're great performers. [...]

I'm kind of picky about what I'll be attending this week. It looks as though Subtle at the Independent has my attention so far. However seeing Audrye Sessions and Cold War Kids would be nice. Too bad I have this full time job I have to keep up with. Anyway, if you're going to the KITS LIVE 105's NSSN 08 or the Pre-Party show (click the picture for tickets), try to make the local band showcase and check out Picture Atlantic and Dizzy Balloon at the ol' Cafe du Nord.

Hot tubs are the sort of thing that are hard not to love. There is a unifying quality about a hot tub and The Whip certainly has a strong emotional reaction to them. The Whip : Hot Tubbing . One of the best things about going home to Canada to visit my family is that my mother has become a "hot tub enthusiast." What this means is that a few years ago she moved into a new house that had not only an outdoor but [...]
