The Hotrats
The Hotrats were a cover band formed by Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey as a side-project from their main band Supergrass. The band were named after Frank Zappa's album Hot Rats. The duo recorded a set of covers with producer Nigel Godrich for an album entitled Turn Ons in the vein of David Bowie's Pin Ups which was released in early 2010. They performed a short UK tour which included the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Since Supergrass announced they were to split, The Hotrats have joined with Air to perform The [Virgin Suicides (score)|The Virgin Suicides] live for the first time, over several concert dates. So far this has included an appearance at the Théâtre de la Passerelle in Saint-Brieuc, as part of Festival Art Rock 2010.
They also recorded a cover of "Under My Thumb" for the Scott [Pilgrim vs. the World] movie, but this currently remains unreleased.
