So here's the scoop. Hot Damn Scandal has been
traveling across the country playing music for 5 years. In that time, 20 or
more musicians have played in the band (and this is a conservative estimate).
Stinky Pete Irving, the only constant member in that time, has written
somewhere between 75 and 100 songs, from outlaw ballads to dirty jazz, gypsy
blues, circus freakouts, ragtime sea shanties, string band funk, lonesome heart
breakers, and the occasional tender love song.
Since the early days of sleeping under bridges and
in vans, drinking too much, and finding a way into every dingy bar in the
country the band has gone through quite a lot. Having earned enough
street-cred, park-bench cred, and whiskey-brawl cred to fill a lifetime of
songs, Hot Damn Scandal re-formed in Bellingham, a lovely town in northwestern
Washington, with a new group of mujicians and a desire to take these songs to
the next level. Or the next several levels. In fact, why stop there? We're
going to go all the way to the moon! Seriously though. We like to make
good music, and play it for people.
