The Hot Toddies formed in 2004 while relaxing on a beach in Mexico, heavily under the influence of Tecate and tequila. Heidi and Erin began writing songs, and Jessica and Sylvia joined the band in the fall of 2005. Blending 60's pop, doo-wop, and beautiful harmonies, they are a fun loving group of four girls from Oakland who play drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards and sing charmingly about being bad. Check out their debut album, Smell the Mitten out now on Asian Man Records. "Oakland girl band The Hot Toddies mix 1950's beach movie pop with soft indie rock, hard whiskey and a dry sense of humor. The song "HTML" is neo-retro code-romantic." --M. Myers, KEXP "Four cute girls singing about being bad and horny. Could there be anything better? With the impending release of their debut album, Smell the Mitten (via Asian Man 9/11), the quartet from Oakland replace the cuteness with the raunchy. Casio tone keys, barbershop-style harmonies and retro-surf pop guitars soften the edge a bit, but once you decipher the silly lyrics, you'll be the hot one." --theOwlMag.com "The band’s debut full length album, titled Smell the
Mitten, meets the expectations set by the EP and singificantly one-ups
it. The same great elements are there–the vocal melodies,
tight songwriting, and funny and sweet lyrics–but they’re
joined by a more full production sound and some instrument experimentation.
As a result, Smell the Mitten is really terrific, an exciting album
that should bring The Hot Toddies further well-deserved attention."
