Hot Freaks get freaky in Orlnado Credit: Courtesy photo
At this point, the internet can be blamed for just about all that’s wrong with modern life. Once in a while, though, its dark magic does result in a crumb of virtuous justice, however incidental.

One such example is Minneapolis indie-pop band Hot Freaks, who were rescued from retirement when their decade-old single “Puppy Princess” went viral on TikTok. Now, their irresistible and infectious melodies are finally getting the spot- light they deserved in the first place.

Sharing the bill are excellent Santa Barbara band Dante Elephante, whose breezy, buttery blend of indie, pop and soul produces the kind of jams that make everything just glide.
