Hot Freaks at The Burl

Hot Freaks are a five-piece alternative rock band from Minneapolis. Their style pulls equally from the hooky jangle-pop groups of the 1960s and shiny alternative groups from the late '00s, like MGMT and Elephant 6 veterans of Montreal. In 2013, they released their only full-length album before splitting in 2015. They reunited in 2020 after frontman Leo Vondracek noticed a significant bump in their Spotify numbers due to their song Puppy Princess gaining traction on TikTok.
