Hot Pants Road Club

The Hot Pants Road Club has been around for 34 years now. Even after all this time, the band is not tired of continuing their mission in funk and soul.
The initial spark for the formation of the band was a concert clip of James Brown on the ORF show "Ohne Maulkorb," which left a lasting impression on the Roitinger brothers Christian, Franz, and Andreas, as well as saxophonist Thomas Wimmer. The master's instrumental title "Hot Pants Road" consequently became the band's namesake.
Over the past thirty years, the HPRC has developed an unparalleled sound based on a groovy rhythm section, funky-jazzy horn arrangements, and soulful solo vocals. The band continues on their path consistently and without detours, discovering more facets of the soul-funk cosmos along the way.
Currently, the band is working on new song material, and there will be regular releases in the coming months.
“Dance and have a good time” is and remains the band's message of the hour. “We came to please you” is not an empty promise and is also the title of one of the new songs.
