Hot Dolphin, yes it is a Venture Brothers reference, formed in the fall of 2011 and quickly played their first show in February of 2012. The band came together because Robert wanted to play loud, Tim wanted to play sitting down, Alison wanted to play bass and Lindsey wanted to sing. Hot Dolphin started out trying to emulate a proto-punk sound; adding a little surf and psych into the mix for good measure. Their debut 7”, released as a part of the Negative Fun Singles Club, shows the sort of controlled, yet primal, blown-out grind that so many have to work so hard to find, but Hot Dolphin just make it all sound so effortlessly cool.
