Clear your holiday playlists: Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey of Supergrass have teamed up with producer extraordinaire Nigel Godrich to bring you the must-have party record of 2010 (and beyond) with Turn Ons, their debut as THE HOT RATS, scheduled for release January 19 on Fat Possum.What began as Gaz and Danny taking a little time out from their Supergrass commitments for a studio lark has now resulted in a modern day psychedelic punk descendant of Bowie s Pin Ups: often irreverent and sometimes initially unrecognizable but always loving and respectful re-imaginings of 12 classics spanning 40 years of rock, punk and even hip hop. Icons receiving the celebratory HOT RATS treatment range from the Kinks, Velvet Underground and Pink Floyd to the Sex Pistols, Beastie Boys and more.Having whipped festival crowds into rock and roll frenzies across the UK this summer, THE HOT RATS have now targeted the lovely weather of the U.S. in January for their first ever stateside shows.Quote from the Gang Of Four on Hotrats version of Damaged Goods "HotRats has recorded a classy acoustic version of our tune which has an immediate nervousness that reminds me, I don't know why, of nights in CBGB's and that, maybe, one final beer will sort the world out"TOUR DATES:Tour Dates:Tue-Jan-12 Brooklyn NY Music Hall of WilliamsburgThu-Jan-14 New York NY Bowery BallroomTue-Jan-19 Los Angeles CA SpacelandThu-Jan-21 Los Angeles CA Troubadour
