Hot Dolphin - Hotter Dolphiner

Our buds in Hot Dolphin have just released a tape of 4 cuts, and they are currently on tour to promote it. We Richmonders can get our grubby paws on the clear hot pink beauties on 4/14 @ Banditos with Faux Ferocious and Nervous Ticks. 

Heavy distortion fills these tracks, and the garage rock gets bawdy and unapologetic.  Striking syncopated drumbeats (Tim Falen) provide a great canvas for Lindsey Spurrier’s processed noise vocals on “Animal.”  From the count-off on “In Between,” the track is heavy and Ramones-y.  The guitar solo (Robert Barrow) is sloppy, bent, and perfect while the bass-line (Alison Hancock, married to Barrow) is an ever-present beacon.
