Hot Club De Paris - With Days Like This As Cheap As Chewing Gum, Why Would Anyone Want To Work?

Hot Club de Paris mark their eagerly-awaited return in 2010 with a brand-new 6 song EP entitled “With Days Like This As Cheap As Chewing Gum, Why Would Anyone Want To Work?” (A phrase generously loaned by acclaimed British poet Matthew Welton). Still operating with their usual punk-rock ethic and still proudly flying the flag for British Hot Club de Paris

DIY, Hot Club are now self producing and recording themselves in their Liverpool rehearsal space. Moshi Moshi will be taking care of the release which is available on both download and a super-limited hand-numbered 10” vinyl.

Paul, Matthew and Alasdair first entered our musical consciousness with their debut album ‘Drop It ‘til It Pops’ in October 2006. This was followed by ‘Live at Dead Lake’ in June 2008. Their skewiff art-punk début was bursting with a feverish energy and, combined with near constant touring, won them a healthy fan base. This gruelling schedule led straight up to recording their second album with Chicago producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine, Ugly Cassanova, Sea and Cake, Chin Up Chin Up). The results were equally as engaging as their début efforts and steered the band’s art-punk sound into a calmer, more melancholic direction, garnering further critical acclaim

They now have two 6 song EPs to release through Moshi Moshi. The first one will drop in early February to coincide with their first full UK tour of 2010. ‘With Days Like This…’ combines both fun and sadness with their usual unmistakable British brand of eccentricity.

The second EP (“The Rise and Inevitable Fall of the High School Suicide Cluster Band”) should see the light of day sometime around the early summer in advance of what the band hopes to be a super-busy festival season. And let’s not forget just how special the Hot Club live experience is; bursts of time signature-laden art punk and banter that puts even the most seasoned heckler in their place.
