ABOUT US

From deep in the narcissistic heap 

 

of eccentricity and tribute city toxicity

The L.A. modern music Mecca ....

where mediocrity can be mistaken for magnificence ....

And celebrated!

.....emerges an assemblage of a “who’s who?” 

 

Who’s motus of musical mastery is to “do what’s common, uncommonly well!”

Forlorn any attempts on our part to try to be-dazzle you with a musical lineage

Of course we’ve played with “this band” and “that band”

Who cares? Right?

Been there done that. That’s old hat.

Try to conceive instead thousands of hours in the making ...each musical part, every ingredient

crafted in back rooms, studios and stages

across oceans, continents, time 

 

....and the ages

Will art ever be perfect? No!
But it’s our obsession
 
BTW don’t try any of this at home without proper supervision. We are well trained pros

So what is  Hot Damn Tamale?

Perhaps she’s a fine dish from the barrios of East L.A.

Or Mom’s “must have” accompaniment for Christmas dinner(gee! there's something new)

Maybe

The right spice at the right time to make the right reaction to your senses

Perhaps...

It was also the King of Rock N Roll cussing

in a studio somewhere in Hollywood ‘61 after his 8th (unsuccessful)and alternate take of “Can’t Help Falling In Love”

Above all

Hot Damn Tamale is America’s Favorite Variety Band

Playing an electric and eclectic mix of hits from the 70’s to now

All Live! Before your naked steaming eyes

Dance friendly rhythms with a wit and will to put a glide in your slide and a dip in your hip

Give it a try.

For sure Hot Damn Tamale is the best choice for any occasion you can dream of

Weddings, casinos, concerts, bar mitzvahs
Baptisms, holiday parties, private parties.... You name it...we love ‘em!

We will make you laugh, dance, and definitely smile!

And who doesn’t want to do that?

One thing’s for sure.

We don’t suck. At least not usually.

Give us the opportunity and we’ll do everything we can to sing, dance and play our way into your hearts every chance we get.

And if you invite us for a spell afterwards some of us may not leave...that’s a warning...especially if you have a piano.

So there’s YOUR invite

And your GUARANTEE

Already got you smiling?

It’s Hot Damn Tamale time
