ABOUT THIS BAND

Bursting beyond DIY origins in the bedroom of lead vocalist Ashley Abbedeen - hotgirl have quickly established themselves as one of the most buzzed about acts on Dublin’s music scene. Bolstered by the angular lead guitar lines of Sophie Boxwell, the booming breakbeats of Nick Stanley and the low-end thump of Jake Hurley (Local Boy) - the quartet’s idiosyncratic take on alternative rock has seen them play at sold out events in venues such as Dublin’s Olympia Theatre and Brixton’s Windmill, earning them co-signs from veterans (The Libertines) and contemporaries (Sprints, Pillow Queens) alike. Their raucous live energy and on record charm has captured the imagination of publications such as District Magazine, The GOO and Hot Press as well as praise from Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE.

Having spent 2024 honing new material in Southampton with producer Neil Kennedy (Milk Teeth, Creeper) and playing festivals at home and internationally; hotgirl are gearing up for the release of their sophomore EP - bringing the handicam charm of their earlier productions to a HD scale whilst preserving the eccentricities that set the band aside from their peers.
