So, what is Hot Liquid Sex, really? It's a band of feisty firecrackers from Brisbane, Australia, set to jack you full in the face with their quirky pop romps, moody mid-tempos and some of the best rock anthems this side of Karen O. More punchy power-pop girls than Powerpuff girls, their mission statement is: mix it up, have fun, and take a buzzsaw to the status quo like the clique-busting misfits they are - oh yeah, and make metrosexuals realize just how ridiculous their hair is.
But best of all, Hot Liquid Sex ain't just a band name - it's a concept. Hell, its whatever you want it to be! Originating from the fashion world, where two of the band members met, those three little words originally huddled together in a phrase to describe well, the indescribable. What was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? Hot liquid sex, of course.
So, there you have it. Together, Ocean, Ange and Ruth are Hot Liquid Sex, in all senses of the phrase. Normally, in the fashion world, by the time you've finished writing about what's 'now', it's then - but HLS are so 'now' they're almost next week. And they'll stay 'next week' until at least Tuesday. Guaranteed.

Here's what some right hotties have written about HLS so far:
"... vocalist and guitarist Ocean particularly oozes some incredible indie rock prowess. She seems an iconic frontwoman in the making." (Daniel Crichton-Rouse - Time Off) Read full review.
"... these ladies get better and better every time I see them, and tonight they pulled out a set of high-powered grrrl pop-punk and it was with obvious disappointment to the audience, that they were only allowed to do 'one more'" (Fasterlouder.com.au) Read full review
"Hot Liquid Sex put on a solid (if very un-sleazy) performance for the good sized audience at the Troubadour." (Fasterlouder.com.au) Read full review.
"... the all-girl band was polished and fun, and the punters appreciated their surf-pop" (Fasterlouder.com.au) Read full review.
"... more rock and roll than the pop that their cutesy appearance and all-female line-up may suggest" - (Justin Grey, Time Off magazine).
"... For a debut show with a brand new member, the trio performed admirably, even attempting a couple of new tunes, particularly their gutsy last song" - FasterLouder.com.au Read full review.
