Here is the flyer for the 3RD ANNUAL ASIAN MAN RECORDS TOY DRIVE featuring THE HOT TODDIES, KEPI GHOULIE, DAN P. AND THE BRICKS, and GNARBOOTS! It’s all going down on December 2nd at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. It’s $6 and starts at 9 PM (doors at 8:30 PM).
Bring an unwrapped toy for a donation to the homeless, and you will get a free CD!
We’ll see you there!
THE HOT TODDIES are recording a new EP!
We’re very excited for Jessica, our lovely and talented keyboardist, to be heading off to Thailand in January for the adventure of a lifetime! She’s not sure exactly when she’ll be back so tours and shows will be on hiatus until mid-2012 or maybe longer. But to keep you occupied until then, we’ll be recording and releasing 3 new songs before the end of the year.
Their last two shows are on Sat. Oct 29th @ Rickshaw Stop (tickets) and Fri. Dec 2nd @ Bottom of the Hill (tickets — This is the 3rd Annual Asian Man Records Toy Drive. KEPI GHOULIE, DAN P AND THE BRICKS, and GNARBOOTS are also playing. More details to come).
Keep up to date with THE HOT TODDIES on Facebook and look out for the announcement when the new EP goes up on Bandcamp and iTunes.
Here is the current list of bands that have confirmed so far…
MU330, SLOW GHERKIN, THE QUEERS, THE APERS, SHINOBU, THE HOT TODDIES, THE WILD, MONKEY, SHORT ROUND, KEVIN SECONDS, BUCK-O-NINE, UNSTEADY, GRANT OLNEY, READY THE JET, MIKE HALE, CLASSICS OF LOVE, THE SAINTE CATHERINES, O PIONEERS!!!, PTERADON, HARD GIRLS, DAN POTTHAST, BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!, LAURA STEVENSON, MIKEY ERG, BAGHEERA, BRENDAN KELLY, TOYS THAT KILL, FOR.THE.WIN., THE CHINKEES, ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD, THE LAWRENCE ARMS, SUNDOWNER, SLAPSTICK, KEPI GHOULIE, SPRAYNARD, RATASUCIA

THE QUEERS, THE APERS, SHINOBU, THE HOT TODDIES, THE WILD, and MONKEY will be joining MU330 and SLOW GHERKIN this June!
Apologies for the late updates. More bands to be announced…
Since Best Coast is shaping up to be the Animal Collective of 2010, expect more attention for bands that bring that brand of beach blanket beat. Oakland’s Hot Toddies are four California Gurls tough enough to be on Asian Man Records, but with no compunction about rhyming “Seattle” with “skedaddle” (as they did on their 2007 debut, Smell the Mitten). Fans of Asian Man alumni Alkaline Trio will appreciate Get Your Heart On‘s nod on “Matt Skiba Sandwich”, and the gluten-intolerant should enjoy “Celiac Love Song”. The sweet sing-alongs, with delightfully rudimentary arrangements and lyrics about boys n’ beers, have an endearing “Hey kids, let’s put on a show!” kind of quality. It’s as if Darla and the other girls on The Little Rascals grew up, moved to Malibu and developed an enthusiastic taste for guitars and Guinness. Thank goodness for global warming, because now you’ve got the perfect delayed-summer jams.
