THE HOT TODDIES formed in 2004 while relaxing on a beach in Mexico, heavily under the influence of Tecate and tequila. Heidi and Erin began writing songs, and Jessica and Sylvia joined the band in the fall of 2005. Blending 60's pop, doo-wop, and beautiful harmonies, they are a fun loving group of four girls from Oakland who play drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards and sing charmingly about being bad.

THE HOT TODDIES released their self-titled EP in the summer of 2006, followed by the release of their debut album “Smell the Mitten” on Asian Man Records in September 2007. They are currently working on a second full-length release for June 2009.

THE HOT TODDIES have played with bands like the Lawrence Arms, Northern State, Dear Nora, Street to Nowhere, The Octopus Project, Division Day, Minipop, the Morning Benders, Port O’Brien, and Audrye Sessions. In June 2009, they will be touring the US with label-mates The Queers.
