The Hot Grits
On Tour

THG kicked off in May of 2002 as a one-off gig for a party at the infamous Kings of ParnHell Mansion. The product of three rehearsals, good old enthusiasm and no small amount of alcohol, THG’s first gig was a massive success. The response of the packed room that night was such that any notions of THG being a once-only proposition were quickly banished.
In the year since that first gig, The Hot Grits have grown into a powerhouse funk and afrobeat outfit, capable of creating havoc on any dancefloor. When THG hit their stride, no-one in the room is immune from the power and sheer soulful funkiness of their groove, and band and audience become one in a giant, convulsing testament to the power of good funk music.
THG have packed out Auckland’s best venues, including Galatos, Cardiac, the Wintergarden Theatre and Rakinos. Highlights have included headlining ‘Popcorn’ and ‘Knees Up’ club nights in the Galatos main venue, playing to several thousand people at 95bfm’s Summer Series concert in Albert Park, bringing the house down at the Wintergarden theatre during the AK03 festival and rocking Myers Park at Funk Superbowl 2005. Monthly slots at Galatos, Safari Lounge and Rakinos have further built THG’s reputation as an unmissable live act.
