Artist Blog: Hot Little Rocket

So this is the deal.... you read it here first or maybe on facebook or the HLR website cause I'm just going to repost this the same way. This is the official word or press release or whatever you want to refer to it as. Yes... Hot Little Rocket will be releasing a new album this summer/fall. We recorded 12 new songs with 2 of our favourite people, Lorrie Matheson and Dave Alcock. The tentative release date will more than likely be our 11th anniversary in September because we took way too long to finalize the details. And yes, the plan is for the band to split up, sell the house, disrupt the kid's lives and move to opposite sides of the island. In reality it really just frees up some evenings so we can move on with other projects that are in the works. Oh yah, another good reason why we are breaking up is because we have officially run out of things to talk about in the van... So this is going to be the way it rolls out.... Aaron will continue on with "Heat-Ray" who have a new record out this summer, Matt will release his solo venture this summer as "extra happy ghost!!!" I will continue playing with "Key to the City" and yes, we also have a new record coming out this summer.... that's right one band tied to 4 new records and all this summer....FYI, Andrew is also in the process of gathering some crazed individuals to rock some roll (name and lineup not released at press time)... so you really want to know why we are breaking up, because breakups mean much more hard feelings, anger and depression....and anger and depression leads to more creativity, and more creativity leads to more records. So more records will be made by Hot Little Rocket... maybe not in this form but in many many other mutations.... and aren't mutants just way cooler... Wolverine kicked some serious ass! To summarize, we are breaking up and we are also releasing a new record... That's it... I said it. Done. It's out there! We will have a few shows coming up to pay back some favours, and also to have some serious fun. We will be at Sledisland this summer and will also be playing an outdoor show for CJSW's Olympic Plaza Concert Series. The last Hot Little Rocket show ever/ CD release party / Mega Merch sell off will be announced soon. We really love you guys!
