Hot Hot Heat's new Canadian Home

03.16.10 | posted by: Jordan

Last week we confirmed the rumours and announced that Hot Hot Heat is now part of the Dine Alone Records family! We are still very excited about this, especially after the amazing CMW show they played at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern as part of the ChartAttack showcase.
More exciting is the positive feedback about the band, new material, and their new Canadian label

CMW 2010 - A Blast!

03.15.10 | posted by: Jordan

Canadian Music Week is always a week to remember! CMW 2010 was no different! Over the course of 4 days, 350 bands took over the city of Toronto, playing in venues across the city. In the eye of the storm was Dine Alone Records (which coincidentally was also named Best Independent Label). This accolade wasn’t the only one awarded to the Label; Arkells were named Favourite Live Artist of the Year.

New signings Parlovr, Children Collide and Hot Hot Heat played shows to packed houses as proud new additions to the roster and Moneen performed to a packed house where they performed favourites from their catalogue.

If you were one of the unfortunate show-goers who got stuck waiting outside the venues in the cold/rain and missed seeing the above mentioned acts; our condolences. The good news? There is much more to come from these bands in the near future, including shows in Toronto.
Stay connected to Dine Alone records to find out the who, when, where and why?
