We'd also like to thank everyone who supported us during our "Final Show Series." We played five different venues in the area and were overwhelmed by the love and support that we were shown. Our final show at Duffy's Tavern, on December 3rd, was truly one of our best nights as a band so far. We were all blown away by the tremendous amount of love and encouragement we were shown. It was a night to remember. For our encore we played a medley of "We Will Rock You" (Queen) and "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen). You can watch a video of the performance HERE!

HOT MESS has exploded onto the scene with an undeniable pop appeal whose mettle rests entirely on spellbinding, striking vocals; the craft of infectious songwriting; and premium, distinctive musicianship. Expertly balancing the line between party and pro, rock and pop, HOT MESS lives up to the duality of its name without ... foregoing its musical integrity or relying on gimmicks and shock value.
HOT MESS’s diverse indie-pop-rock sound maintains a widespread accessibility that could easily be found in a program rotation next to Adele, The White Stripes, or Lady Gaga--titillating listeners, label execs, and station programmers across the globe. Comprised of vocal powerhouse Storey Condos, who is reminiscent of a female Freddie Mercury; the extraordinary, whisper-to-a-roar lap steel guitar of Marc Anderson; expertly expressive electric guitarist Ryan Maker; consummate, CAMMIE (Chico Area Music Awards) award-winning bassist, Hypatia Runcie; keyboard and synthesizer soundscapeextraordinaire Daniel Nelson; and impeccable indie-pop/rock drummer Tom Myers, their eclectic instrumentation and mesmerizing original lyrics evoke a visceral fan reaction that multiplies and grows, play after play, show after show.
After developing a fan base spanning over 50 countries across the world, HOT MESS released their debut album, Learn To Sleep With The Light On, in the spring of 2011.
