Hot Face perform at Burdall's Yard, Bath, for Independent Venue Week 2026. Supports TBA

Hot Face are a garage-punk three-piece hailing from South London. Initially born out of a series of bedroom demos by guitarist/vocalist James Bates, joined by bassist George Cannell and drummer/vocalist Sam Catchpole, Hot Face released their debut single 'dura dura' via Speedy Wunderground in 2023 - followed by their sophomore single '17 Day Migraine' in 2024. During this period Hot Face toured the UK and Europe, having appearances at several showcase festivals such as Down The Rabbit Hole, Manchester Psych Fest and Left Of The Dial. In November 2024 Hot Face were invited by Dan Carey to record a live album at Abbey Road, a one-day event that unfolded in front of an audience and was recorded direct to tape. Hot Face will release their single 'Pink Liquor' on November 13th, with the full live album to follow thereafter.
