Hot Pants is one of the numerous groups involving the French/Latin singer-songwriter Manu Chao (Mano Negra)and his cousin, drummer Santi. As with all of Chao's music, the group had many influences, most notably The Clash, which contributed to their rockabilly sound. The group sang in English and Spanish. The group released a demo tape in 1984 entitles "Mala Vida," and in 1985 they released a 45 with the single "So many nites" (and B-side "Lover Alone"). They released a full length album entitled Loco Mosquito in 1986, which was rereleased in 2000.
