Westword - Best Indie Pop Band - 2008
We are honored and thrilled to be named (two years in a row!) Westword's Best Indie Pop Band 2008.
Thanks for all who voted! As we said in our "acceptance speech":
This band started in a warehouse. Don't forget about the bands that are working hard and aren't always covered in the press, talked about at parties, and on blogs. Get out there and see some new unheard-of bands. You'll be pleasantly surprised and the music scene thrives.
xo,
Hot IQs

Vote Your Heart Out, Denver
Hey Kids...it's been a while since we blathered on. How are you? Did you get the letter we sent?
Anywho, we've been nominated (again!) in Westword 2008: Best Indie Pop Band in Denver
While there are more important elections afoot, it would be awfully nice if you took a minute to vote us in.

Ah, the new year: Jan 2, 2008
We have much to be thankful for and much to look forward to. New songs are coming along nicely. And judging from the pencil marks on our kitchen wall, we've grown about an inch taller since last year.

bluebird theater show Dec. 22
We are very excited for our upcoming Holiday show. We've been slightly jealous of bands like Arcade Fire and Of Montreal, what with their 10-member ensembles. Accordingly, we have 7 extra musicians to play throughout our set. If you haven't been to a Hot IQs show in the recent past this is the one to attend! Plus, you and your pals can go for free: FREE TICKETS

recording update
Many have called the release of our second full length the "Chinese Deomocracy of Indie Rock." Well, maybe it's because we've had a title for the release for a while (Officially: Follow the Architecture)...or they say that because Bryan loves to slim into some tight black leather pants. Either way, work on Follow the Architecture has commenced. We are about half done. We're thrilled with the new songs. Come see us live for a pretty hefty preview. Uneven Studio

Monolith festival
Watching a Flaming Lips show from any angle is a treat. Red Rocks is icing on the cake. But wathcing it from backstage where grown adults in furry costumes dance until they pass out is bliss. Oh yeah, we played this thing too! Our set was jam packed. Thanks to those that came out to support. This will no doubt be the start of something grand for Monolith and all Colorado music!
