When your pedigree comes from iconic last names in the industry like Follesse, Overstreet, and Keaggy - and you’re currently recording a new cd for famed former Chairman/C.E.O. of Sony Music Group Don Ienner, you MUST be making some great music right?  Right.

The truth is, with the success of fathers Keith, Paul, and Phil respectively, one might think that the Nashville based HotChelleRae would in fact be a standout country band.  Wrong.

HotChelleRae ROCK!  And not in your typical, “we’re going to start a band and play” kind-of way.  More in a “Guns-N-Roses were 14 years ago and we’re going to kick it up a couple notches”.  Not to compare HotChelleRae to GNR’s music, they aren’t the same - it’s the attitude.  You only have to listen to the confidence in the vocals to hear how the attitude is ‘rock star’ all the way.  These guys are set to hit HUGE - and on a national level.

The music is good old fashion rock-n-roll with almost a dance style backbeat.  Maybe even disco in ways - but the two songs on their myspace are more anthems than something to be danced to.  Confused you yet?  Yeah, that’s because it’s kind-of hard to classify this type of rock-n-roll.  There’s a TON of influences you can hear in the music, but the bottom line always comes back to one thing - these guys ROCK!

Fortunately, if you want to hear them live they’re going to be playing a show at 12th & Porter July 12th at 9pm  with some other Nashville rock stars Luna Halo - who fuse their own brand of pop and rock together to create some VERY catchy music.

There are supposed to be some other special surprises in store for you at the show as well.  You don’t want to miss this show.
