They were formed in 2004 and consist of two brothers (Alasdair Smith who plays the drums and sings; Matthew Smith who plays guitars and sings) and a mutual friend (Paul Rafferty who plays bass, baritone guitar and sings).
Though quite unknown, they are quite a successful band, touring extensively and playing in places such as: India, Scandinavia, Europe, The United Kingdom and The United States.
They have also played alongside and supported artists of a similar genre such as:
Joan of Arc, Battles, Jamie T and The Who.
Since 2004, they have released two albums (Drop It 'til It pops, 2006 and Live at Dead Lake, 2008), released a string of 7" singles (with the song 'My Little Haunting' that we're making a music video for being one of them) and in 2010 alone released two six song EP's called 'With Days Like This As Cheap As Chewing Gum, Why Would Anyone Want To Work?' and 'The Rise And Inevitable Fall Of The High School Suicide Cluster Band' which were later combined -among other songs- to make an album called 'Free the Pterodactyl Three' and released in late 2010 in Europe and North America.
Though Hot Club De Paris are unknown to mainstream music listeners, as an indie band they have had great success and worked among lots of other good artists, making many good songs long the way.
