The Hot Place

The Hot Place is a four-piece dark psychedelic rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. The band was formed by Lisa King (vocals, bass, keyboards) and Jeff Calder (lead guitar) in 2008. Jeff Calder is a founding member of the well known new-wave act, The Swimming Pool Q's. Joined by Mike Lynn (Betty's Not A Vitamin) and Robert Schmid (The Swimming Pool Q's) in 2011, the band recorded their first LP, "The Language of Birds" at the legendary Atlanta analog studio Southern Tracks Recording. (Clients include Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Matthew Sweet, and Bob Dylan.) Guest guitarist Richard Lloyd, formerly of the proto-punk band Television, played on two album tracks, "Saturn Moved" and "Petals of Ruin (reprise)." After a selection of live shows in 2014-2015, the band is now recording their second LP at Electron Gardens Studio, with engineer Tim Delaney. The Hot Place has recently played a series of live living room shows in 2016, as opening tour support for gothic/post-punk artist David J, (founding member of Bauhaus/Love and Rockets.) They continue to support David J on a Southeast leg of his "Vagabond Songs" tour, in June of 2017.
