Now that
Gaz Coombes and
Danny Goffey have outright killed the other members of
Supergrass in a violent coup, the two unrepentant murderers have decided to carry on alone with their new cover band,
The Hot Rats. Their debut album holds forth on tracks by
The Kinks (a faithful reading of
The Big Sky),
Squeeze (a somber
Up the Junction),
The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed (a spirited take on
I Can't Stand It) and even the
Beastie Boys (supplying
[You Gotta] Fight for Your Right [to Party] with a
Who-esque melody it doesn't actually possess). A follow-up LP will be recorded as soon as Coombes and Goffey have paid their debt to society.
