The Hot Grits in the Media

PUBE host, Peter Urlich of George FM, chats to Martin and Barnie of NZ soul/afrobeat group, The Hot Grits, about their upcoming debut album release.

It's a big ol' 12-man soul, funk and Afrobeat party when the Championship Sounds of the Hot Grits are playing in some seedy bar you may have just rolled in to. You can't help but dance, and shake your thang. Get on up? Yes you will, because that's what they came here to do.

Since 2002 The Hot Grits have been making a name for themselves in Auckland and parts of the lower North Island as fine purveyors of the psychedelic afro-beat, big band sound. Always focusing on the rougher side of soul/funk music, The Hot Grits were recently recognised as finalists in the MTV Kickstart competition, surely a sign of bigger and better things to come.
