We will be in Toronto at The Horseshoe Tavern on Saturday November, 28th at 10pm!! Do come, you lovely sexy people, and be the first to see the new axe! We'll be trying out some new tunes too so should be interesting!!
Also if you are in the Guelph area on Dec 3rd we're playing a free show at the Jimmy Jazz with the incomparable Mercy Now and their unique brand of dance your faces off rock'n roll. Also, there may just be some well loved, and international special guests playing with us that night so come early and stay all night.
Dec 4th we're playing with Whale Tooth at The Montreal House. Hopefully there will be no falling out of windows this time! A good round of winter sidewalk extension cord skip rope wouldn't be bad though. Oh the P-borough!

August 21, 2009 .:. Vinyl Release Parties a smash!
HK would officially like to thank everyone who came out and rocked this weekend. We would especially like thank Kyle for her lil' performance on the stripper pole in the back room of the Bovine on Saturday night. You would think this would be a regular occurrence at a venue with "sex club" in its name, but apparently not. It took a courageous young woman, in a strange city - far from her home in Chicago - to make this happen. Keep up the good work Kyle!
Well, just goes to show you never know what to expect....
Thanks rockers. See ya soon,
HK

Summer lovin' rockers,
We survived another NXNE weekend! Thanks for comin' out and rockin' it. Just finished replacing the side view mirror on Goldie, found it smashed on Queen street 'round 4 am after the show. None worse for the wear.
In other news, THE VINYL HAS ARRIVED! That's right friends, it's here. You can get your very own copy of Someday Somehow directly from us for now. Select record shops and online availability soon to come. Stay tuned for more summertime mayhem.

May 1st, 2009 .:. New Record + Tour
Goldie's got her summer tires back on and just had an oil change. You know what that means folks. HotKid is hittin' the road, this time with troubadour rocker Andrew DeVillers. Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, can't wait to see you again!
Someday Somehow will be available as a FREE download on Zunior.com come Tuesday May 5th. That's right free, and with perks and extras and all kinds of fun stuff. The record will be available on 12" vinyl but you'll have to wait for that. Apparently it takes a long time for vinyl to get from the Czech Republic to Canada. Who knew? Good things come to those who wait though, right? Right!
See below for tour dates. If we're in your town we want to party with you. You know, use extension chords as skipping ropes and wear strange hats, jump off buildings etc. etc.
LOVE,
HK

March 24th, 2009 .:. Mr. Finlin x HotKid || BURNING DAYLIGHT
Rockers,
take a gander over here. HotKid and Matt Finlin have been up to some pretty trippy stuff this past little while. Mr. Finlin was kind enough to offer his expertise in the video directing and editing side of things and the result is a brand new video for HotKid's "Burning Daylight," a track off their soon to be released LP Someday Somehow.
Also, keep an eye out for east coast tour dates in May. It's gonna be a ripper!!
Carry on rockers,
HK
January 21st, 2009 .:. P-boro, the Hometown + the Big Smoke ...
Greetings Rockers,
Been busy in the basement with T-shirts and screening ink in hand, and everywhere else for that matter.
Had a blast in Hamilton and Peterborough earlier in the month. Upon finishing our set in Peterborough last week we were handed an envelope, inside was a Christmas card featuring a dog wearing a Santa hat. Inside the card was a cryptic inscription, something about "vibes moving through the floor" and two cigarettes. Can't say we've ever gotten anything quite like that before. Thank you random Peterborough rocker!
We certainly are looking forward to rockin' the hometown, good ol' Cambridge on Jan 30th at Cafe 13. The next night we will be in T.O. at Rancho Relaxo, wicked times at that place! Come friends, come one, come all!

December 16th, 2008 .:. Oh, the weather outside is frightful ...
The past few weeks have been wild! B.A Johnston tunes and C'mon riffs dance like sugar plums in our heads. Our northern jaunt to Sudbury and North Bay with B.A. was an absolute blast!
Thanks to all the wild folks who braved the Alberta Clipper to party with us. Playing with C'mon and Drunkula at The Horseshoe and Call The Office was pure rock show all the way. We know C'mon will blow minds on their European tour. Stay tuned for our "Burning Daylight" video in the works now. Thanks to Matt Finlin who has generously donated his time and knowhow.
"Burning Daylight" is off the new LP which is mixed mastered and lookin' to move out on it's own. We will keep you posted.
Happy Holidays and we'll see ya in the new year.

June 23rd, 2008 .:. NXNE, Mr. Blurton and The Cost gets reviewed
Friends,
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the Neutral Lounge to rock with us! NXNE was a blast! Monotonix blew our minds at Sneaky's on Sat. Be sure to check 'em out, monotonix.com.
A few weeks ago HK was lucky enough to work with the super cool and totally awesome Sir Ian Blurton. We recorded the bed tracks at Chemical Sound in T.O.; never seen so many awesome mics before! Overdubs were recorded at a cool house studio that had pinball machines. Evil Knievel rules! Some brand new tunes come'n yer way folks. Don't worry, we will keep you posted.
The Cost EP is getting some real nice reviews thanks to the fine folks at Herohill.com and Wolveshawksandkites.com. Geeez, thanks friends!
For a few shots of our NXNE show, and recording sesh with Mr. Blurton, visit our Media section.
Well that's all for now rockers.
Keep rock'n,

About .:. HotKid
HotKid is:
Shiloh Harrison - guitar, vocals
Peter McIntosh - drums, back-up vocals
Someday Somehow is the latest effort from Cambridge, Ontario's gritty rock duo HotKid. The album was produced by Ian Blurton, C'mon front-man and Weakerthan's producer. Rick White of Eric's Trip and Elevator mixed and mastered the album, and along with Blurton, performs on the record. HotKid's Shiloh Harrison and Peter McIntosh dig deep and hit hard, bridging the gap between dirty rock and melodic twang. Someday Somehow showcases HotKid's diversity in a sound that crosses boundaries between riff driven rock and tender melody driven song-writing. 12" coloured vinyl available in stores and on-line at hotkid.ca, digital download available at zunior.com.
Someday Somehow is just what you'd expect from the band; buzz saw guitars, screeching female vocals and crashing drums. (Herohill.com)
HotKid find clear definition for some terrific new songs. Often resembling some combination of Bleach-era Nirvana fronted by Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker. (Exclaim!)
