Hotpants Romance - The International Hotpants Romance

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 was dropped in favor of playing anywhere and everywhere that anyone would have them. Following a terrible second gig hotpants became compulsory and Hotpants Romance soon 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 2008 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 visit the USA twice. First the east coast to tour with the Nightingales and Christy and Emily. To coincide with the US release of It's A Heatwave on the Happy Happy Birthday To Me label they returned in August for a tour of the Southern States with labelmates Cars Can Be Blue. Since then they have toured with The Lovely Eggs, Vivian Girls and The Ting Tings, been played on radio stations around the world, recently including a live session at BBC 6 Music on Marc Riley's show. Their long-awaited sophomore album, ‘The International Hotpants Romance’, offers even more gloriously unashamed shambolic thrills than their debut  and features 12 of the most essential pop songs you will hear all year. The band will be embarking on a UK and European tour in support of the album
