Hot Hot Heat, the Sun, the Erotics
Valentine's,
April 9
With tense pop hooks, agitated vocals and herky-jerky rhythms,
Hot Hot Heat inspired the audience to handclap and dance along
to their twitchy new-wave hits. The Sun were a pleasant surprise
of '60s garage and spastic punk rock, while the Erotics blasted
out their entertaining anthems of sleaze.
