Formed in late 2004, the Detroit based band Hotness has been meticulously fine-tuning their sound and live show much akin to a classic car buff that restores their 70s Mustang. Influenced by those that came before such as The Faces, Humble Pie, T-Rex, Zeppelin and Queen, they long not to reinvent the wheel, but to simply put some kick ass rims on it. Aimed at keeping Detroit ball of trend-setting ingenuity in motion they released their first EP
We're Taking Over in the summer of '05.
Noteworthy achievements to date include: being featured on PBS in an episode of
Rock and Roll Safari in January 2007. The show, produced by Can You Hear Me TV, is a documentary featuring live concert footage and interviews with some of the local scene's top independent talent (Rachel May - The Detroit Free Press, 1/5/07). Hotness also wrote a track specifically for
The Sweet Sounds of Detroit Volume One compilation, which has also been featured on PBS and was nominated for a 2007 Detroit Music Award.
