Empty Pint and the Hot Shots

- Deutschland

Empty Pint and the Hot Shots are from Dresden. I mention this only because you wouldn’t know it from their sound.

It has a British-Jamaican sound and is somewhat reminiscent of a time when the music industry hadn’t yet started worrying about Auto-Tune and other sound-enhancing tricks.

The seven-piece band performs old ska, reggae and rocksteady classics with the fervour of late adolescence, but they’re also not above putting songs from other genres through the offbeat wringer.

A show to sway along to and smile at.
