WHO WE ARE:

Sixties garage rock fury meets post-punk minimalism, with an explosive, almost chaotic live show. Think: early Who meets Stooges meets Strokes meets Les Savy Fav…at a pool party.

RESUME:

Two amazing videos:
Flash or Confess
Ghost Bear
More

A bunch of great recordings, some with all-star producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel.

Song placement on the CBS TV show CSI.

Strong web presance:
Facebook
Twitter
Website
YouTube
MySpace
Blog

Good press.

Shows roughly once per month, mostly in NY and NJ, but looking to expand a little.

REQUIREMENTS:

Learn existing material quickly, write new material with us, practice twice per week, play shows, record, be awesome. Backing vocals a plus. Owning transportation also a plus, especially if your transportation is a fleet of helicopters. We’ve always wanted to arrive at a show in separate helicopters like Dethklok, or Thom Yorke.

Get in touch if you’re interested, and we’ll talk details and give you our full sales pitch!

What should we cover next?!

As many of you know we recorded some new songs with all-star producer Eric “Roscoe” Amble. The songs sound AMAZING, and can be streamed on our website, Facebook page, MySpace page, Last.fm page, SoundCloud page…ok, you get the idea.

Starting this week, the songs will also be available on our latest promo CD, which in an obvious throwback to the days of summer camps and mixed tapes, we’ve somewhat jokingly decided to call “Summer 2010″. The CD will be available at all upcoming shows.

Here’s the cover, designed by the fabulously talented Anthony Dines:

We’d like to thank Roscoe, Tim and Mario at Cowboy Technical Services for putting together an amazing 2-day session! We’d also like to thank Mark (hope that’s his name) at Main Drag for the rush job fixing Jameson’s guitar, which mysteriously broke on the way to the studio on day 1. (We still don’t understand how that happened.)

Finally, we’d like to thank our friends and family for their continued support and encouragement. Jameson would like to extend a special thank you to his patient wife for putting up with repeated, late-night rehearsals of the new material. Christina, you are a saint.

The tracks will soon be available for download on iTunes as well. We’re working on setting that up. Sit tight.

In other news, we’re working on another music video, directed once again by camera genius Steven Spencer. Stay tuned for details!

“I Am The Heat not only were the heat, but brang it. I instantly fell in love with the singers’ voice. I began to imagine picnics with the voice, what the voice and my babies would look like, etc. The music was very energetic and reminded me of Wolf Parade. These guys were so much fun and their set was one of the highlights of the night. Once I Am The Heat came on I noticed that there were projections all over the room of characters from Alice in Wonderland, I saw my friend Norm Francoer and he told me he was responsible. As the night wore on my notes became jumbled from exhaustion, thanks the day job or inebriation thanks bartender Scott Anderson. So I will tell you that as of 11:45 on Thursday I Am The Heat were WONDERFULL, very psychedelica, super MOD, Incense and Peppermint meets the Hold Steady. Does that make sense? Synthesized syncopathic Mania and this Jam referenced Adderall.”
