Hotel Wrecking City Traders (HWCT) have been dislodging earwax, busting strings and sticks and blowing minds since 2007. HWCT are an instrumental noise rock duo with a heavy focus on improvisation and a love of loud volume and the psychedelic. The band has to date released an EP (2007) a full length album ‘Black Yolk’ (2008) and a 7 Inch ‘Somer/Wantok’ (2009), all through Bro Fidelity Records (Australia). HWCT’s latest is a collaborative effort – featuring Gary Arce (Yawning Man/Ten East). An offer from Gary that eventuated from HWCT supporting Ten East on tour in Australia in 2009. This will be a strictly limited vinyl pressing (300 copies) which was released in June, 2011 and distributed by Cobraside Distribution in the USA. With a constant touring regime forever in place the band’s presence has grown both in Australia and overseas which has seen them play shows with the likes of: Russian Circles (USA), Thrones (USA), Ten East (USA), Earthless (USA), Om (USA), Black Cobra (USA), Monarch (Fr), Grey Daturas (Aust), Winnebago Deal (UK), The Hard-Ons (Aust), to name but a few…
Ben Wrecker also joined Winnebago Deal (UK) on drums as a last minute stand-in on their debut tour of Australia in 2008 . Ben Wrecker was also personally invited to play drums by Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age) in his Mondo Generator project in 2010 for a US tour. Hotel Wrecking City Traders are looking into a US tour (Featuring Gary Arce playing 2nd guitar) tentatively for mid 2012 and will take in shows with Yawning Man and Fatso Jetson. A recording session is due to take place in California during the tour with legendary producer Scott Reeder (Kyuss, Goatsnake, The Obsessed).
