Hot Freaks formed in Minneapolis in the early 2010s, releasing their self-titled debut LP in
2013—a collection of bright, danceable indie-pop tracks with a glossy disco sheen and
disarmingly vulnerable lyrics. Blending the emotional openness of of Montreal and Voxtrot with
flashes of MGMT’s playful charisma, the record captured the band’s tight-knit chemistry and
earned them a loyal following in the Minneapolis scene. Though they rarely toured beyond the
Midwest, the group—made up of longtime friends whose relationships stretched back over a
decade—became a beloved local staple before amicably disbanding in 2015 as members moved
on to new chapters.
Years later, the internet gave Hot Freaks a second life. During the pandemic, their 2013 single
“PUPPY PRINCESS” unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, introducing the band’s heartfelt,
humor-tinged indie pop to a new global audience. What began as nostalgia among friends
quickly turned into a full reunion as fans discovered the band’s earnest songwriting and
infectious energy. Now reconnecting with listeners around the world, Hot Freaks are stepping
back onto the stage with renewed momentum—releasing rare material, debuting new visuals, and
turning a handful of hometown reunion shows into the start of a much bigger return
