In 2010, one half of Britain’s much loved pop rock combo Supergrass, Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey teamed up with world-renowned producer Nigel Godrich to bring you The Hotrats.
With the initial idea of simply throwing themselves together into the studio to see what would happen, Gaz and Danny created their own ‘Pin Ups’ style versions of classic songs celebrating some of pop and rock’s greatest contributors over the last 50 years.
With whispers of Syd Barrett, Roxy Music and The Sex Pistols floating up from the dark recesses of the studio, this Goffey/Coombes side project was a project born out of a true love and respect for their rock heroes.
This is not the first time the duo had worked in this capacity. Gaz and Danny took on the shady characters of Duke Diamond (AWOL) and Randy Hoo Ha (RIP) - AKA The Diamond Hoo Ha Men - when Supergrass bassist Mick Quinn suffered severe back injuries after a fall. The duo played songs from the 2008 Supergrass album ‘Diamond Hoo Ha’ to delighted young crowds in clubs across the country.
Fast forward ten years to 2020 and Coombes, Goffey and Godrich reconvene to record and release brand new track ‘Milkshake’. Recorded in the same spirit as the original ‘Turn Ons’ album, the group have given the classic Kelis track their signature spin.
