The Hot Seats are Special Ed & The Shortbus; they were Special Ed And The Shortbus, now they are the Hot Seats. The seemingly self evident motives behind this change – to shed an offensive name, make more fans, gain more respect – were not primary in the band’s decision making. Six years ago (January of 2002), the Hot Seats (nee Special Ed . . .) were formed in Richmond, VA as a good-time band between new friends, many of whom were exploring a genre unknown to them on equally novel instruments. It started with weekly gig, rapidly followed by trips out of town, festival appearances, longer tours, new music, new influences, competition-winning performances (both individually and as an ensemble), a loss of three members, a critically acclaimed trip to the UK, and four albums.
