The Hotrats – Turn Ons

By David M. Snyder • 01/11/2010

No, not a Frank Zappa tribute act. The backstory: In the latter part of 2007 Supergrass bassist Mick Quinn suffered two broken vertebrae and a broken heel while sleepwalking out of a first floor window in France. While waiting for Quinn to recuperate Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey did some work as a duo (what latterly fourth member of Supergrass Rob Coombes was up to then, I have no idea) and somewhere came up with the premise of a covers project. They roped in renowned knob twiddler Nigel Godrich as the third member of the band now named the Hotrats.
