Hunnypot Live isn't some fun sized Halloween treat. We're the king-sized candy bar of live entertainment.
Boy, was show #403 a night of mischief.
Hot Tub Johnnie started the night with some awesome musical tricks to lift the spirits. Legendary DJ/VJ/Music Historian, Matt Pinfield, jumped in to regale us with his origin story, sweet tunes and haunting stories of fame. John Cate exercised rock n roll demons (with a little help from our own Jeff Gray), Tillie rattled her "hot rock" chains with spooky good hooks and riffs, The Pumpkin Spice Girls....err, Old_Sport, sang like they'd always be there for us, Hot Sauce Holiday returned for another cabaret to erect even the dead and Hot Tub closed our coven convention with a cauldron of groovy ghoulish dance party jams. 10/29/2018

tiLLie
After catching the ear of Machine Gun Kelly + Kevin Lyman (creator of Warped Tour) during a sold out acoustic performance in Los Angeles in December of 2016, the upward spiral of multi- instrumentalist and songwriter tiLLie cannot be stopped. Her infectious songs might seep into your head but this self-proclaimed “anti-pop star” transcends the predisposed boundaries + limits of the genre with her diy + hands-all-over approach. With her collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly amassing over 250k plays, a run on Vans Warped Tour summer 2016 + a song on KUNGS’ (UMG) debut record, tiLLie’s takeover is only just beginning. The third single of a three part series, “Good Song”, is out now.
