Hot Little Rocket are one of the longest running and most beloved bands ever to emerge from the Western Canadian rock and roll scene. For almost ten years, their unforgettable songs and jarring live performances have stuck in the ears and hearts of indie rockers all across the country. In February 2006, Hot Little Rocket spent a week in Chicago with legendary recording engineer Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana, Stooges) and came out of it with easily their strongest album to date, How To Lose Everything, which was released nationwide on June 26th, 2007.
A two week tour of Alberta and British Columbia was quick to follow – each performance to a packed house. Highlights included performing alongside Spoon at the Sled Island music festival, rocking 34,000 music fans at the three-day sellout of Wakefest in Kelowna, and a sold out all ages album release party with special guest Julie Doiron. Next up - Hot Little Rocket takes on Regina and Winnipeg before heading out east for Pop Montreal and non-stop touring throughout September.
03 Aug. ‘07: REGINA, SK @ O’HANLONS (with Hot Blood Bombers)
04 Aug. ‘07: WINNIPEG, MB @ THE PARK THEATRE (with Paper Moon & All Of Your Friends)

Hot Little Rocket have just completed filming their first video — “Like Killers,” the first single from How To Lose Everything — this past weekend. It was a great experience and they are grateful to all of the actors, dancers, crew and support staff that helped in seeing this project through. They would like to especially thank Mike Peterson for putting the perfect group together and having an idea strong enough that all of us could agree on. There will be a special screening party once it has gone through the editing process and is fully ready for public consumption. In other news, HLR will be heading East for a weekend tour: Regina on August 3rd at O’Hanlons with the Hot Blood Bombers and Winnipeg on August 4th at the Park Theatre with Papermoon and All of your Friends. Stay tuned for details on HLR’s Big Eastern Tour in Sept/Oct.
