Hot Club de Paris is a band of two brothers and a mutual friend. Alasdair Smith, Matthew Smith and Paul Rafferty signed to Moshi Moshi Records in 2005 and have since released a string of 7" singles and two critically acclaimed albums (Drop It 'til It Pops, 2006, Live at Dead Lake, 2008). They toured both albums extensively, playing hundreds of shows across the UK & Europe, Scandinavia, the US and even India. They are proud to have played alongside the likes of Joan of Arc, Battles, Jamie T and The Who. They're besotted with mid-era Don Cabellero, old Billy Bragg and any period of their hero Mike Watt's back catalogue.
