\nThree of us were involved from the beginning:
\nOla Humlefors (72 years), electric bass
\nJonny L\u00f6nnstr\u00f6m (68 years) drums
\nLennart Berg (73 years) guitar<\/p>\n
\nThe band was formed in 2002 and then had Kristinehamn in V\u00e4rmland as our home. Nowadays we have Lidk\u00f6ping as domicile because we use to practice there.
\nAfter a gig at Hedefors Caf\u00e9 in front of the members of Spotnicks’ fan club, a journalist wanted to know the name of our band.
\nWe then had nothing but had to come up with one during the 25 miles on the way home during the night. It then became a strange translation of the landscape V\u00e4rmland = HOTLANDERS\u00ae.
\nThe band then consisted of four members. In total, there have been ten people who have been involved.<\/p>\n
\nWhen Kenneth turned out to play many Spotnicks songs with bravura, we dropped the idea.<\/p>\n
\nLennart had G\u00f6ran Hol\u00e9n to rebuild the Fender with active mics and he uses an echo\/reverb made by the same man. The Fender super sonic 22 that is transferred out in PA gives the final sound.
\nKenneth uses Fender guitars, Lexicon MPX G2 effects and Fender Super 60 amplifiers.
\nOla plays at Fender and Arvidsson basses.
\nJonny’s drums are made by Remo.<\/p>\n
\nWith a few exceptions for a few melodies, we have not played anything other than Shadows and Spotnicks as we started in 2002 because we had it with us in our luggage from the 60’s.
\nFavorite songs for Lennart’s are: Moonshot, Havah Nagila, Ghostriders In the Sky, Last Date, Amapola, Johnny Guitar, Karelia, I Remember You, Just Listen To My Heart, Hang On, Ol\u00b4 Man River and La Rosita. The last three when Kenneth is in the lead.
\nOla prefers the Shadows songs from the older recordings. Jonny wants to play the ”classic” Spotnicks and Shadows.
\nKenneth likes to play old Shadows and Spotnicks songs and a little Cliff Richard.<\/p>\n
