Hot Shot Kixxx

Hot Shot Kixxx is a three-piece Alternative Rock band from El Paso, Texas with a groove that sounds as though it was brewed in a witches’ cauldron full of Metal, Funk and Grunge. El Paso, Texas is the largest city on the US/Mexican border. Its culture is shaped equally by both nations and the desert between them. The Hot Shot Kixxx sound is born of that spirit. Their debut full-length album “Devils at it Again” stirs up a psychedelic and demonic stew just in time for Halloween or El Dia De Los Muertos… whichever you prefer.


[...] The record opens with a gigantic Rock & Roll kick to the gut. “Broken Demons” explodes from the speakers with a White Zombie style low and heavy groove [...] “Endless Nightmares” marries Alice in Chains inspired vocals with Primus-worthy Funk/Metal guitar and bass interplay. That mix of power, groove and expert musicianship define the Hot Shot Kixxx sound on tracks like “Falter Ego,” “Where We Belong” and the Red Hot Chili Peppers inspired “Endless Nightmares.”


Elsewhere on the record the band dips into Nirvana-esque grunge (“Witchcraft”) on all other variations of the Seattle sound [...] There is plenty of wildly creative instrumentation throughout, including a healthy dose of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) inspired avant-garde Alt Metal (“Intimidation”).


[...] It is fun, funky, dark and beautiful.
