Peel Session

LAST PEEL SESSIONS EVER! On their first trip to the UK, Hot Snakes were asked by legendary disc jockey John Peel to come into the BBC studios at Maida Vale and record a session for his radio show. The band went in on Oct. 11 2004 and cut four songs live. The sound that was captured is a realistic snapshot of the Hot Snakes sound with rougher edges and spontaneous energy. Hot Snakes were to be his last guests, as John Peel died on a vacation in Peru a week later. The legacy of John Peel expands from the '60s to present day and surely beyond. His will to champion maverick music from the underground and to constantly stay abreast with new noise made him the antenna to a world of music that usually slips through the cracks. Hot Snakes are grateful to have hade the opportunity to be a speck in his massive scope of reference. Long live Peel!
