The Hotcakes

jessicachu:

On Wednesday night I FINALLY got to see The Hotcakes live. I’ve been planning on seeing them since earlier this month but reasons to which I actually don’t remember didn’t let me to see their earlier show. Anyways, I found out about them through my favorite Small Girls and started listening to their music while being productive at work. Not even kidding, I have their website up on my Mac and just leave their music to play on repeat. So imagine my excitement that I would actually be able to rage out to them?

I met up with Bianca and Mallory at Spot Dessert Bar—to which I’ll be making a completely separate post about—and we headed over to Arlene’s Grocery for what was sure to be a great night! (Sidenote: what else do you expect from starting your night off with cupcakes?) While there, I met other awesome people including Tumblr intern Annie who is all sorts of awesome. (PS: did I shout “chug chug chug” for you to finish your beer when we were about to leave? Yeah, that sorority girl in me doesn’t leave…)

Back to the music. It’s pretty simple: they’re awesome. I’m pretty freaking picky when it comes to finding music that’s chill/eclectic, yet energetic and pumps you up. Honestly, I wanted to just dance, prance around, and flail about. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the main singer Erin Marsz is actually legit gorgeous… like, “Hi, I just want to be your friend…” gorgeous and has an amazing sex-kitten killer voice.

My favorite songs are Gonna Go Out, I’ll Be Alright, Lucky Girl and Round & Round… uhm yeah, their entire EP.

Stream their music for free on TheHotCakes.com or on Bandcamp.com (where you can also buy their Gonna Go Out EP for $4). They’re also on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook… my type of band.

The Hot Cake’s next show is on Nov. 23 at Mercury Lounge (10PM) and their EP release show is on Dec. 11 at Arlene’s Grovery (11PM) where you bet your ass I’ll be there!

Seriously guys, give them a listen and let me know what you think! Shoot me an email jesksa@gmail.com, comment below and maybe we can hit up their release show together?!
