[edit] History
In 1976, high-school friends Warren Kinsella, Alan McDonald and Pierre Schenk decided to form a punk rock band called the Social Blemishes.[1] In 1977, they changed their name to the Hot Nasties.
In 1980, they released their first 7" EP, the Invasion of the Tribbles EP on Kinsella's own Social Blemish Records.[2]. Later that year, they produced an album length collection of their songs on cassette, now almost unfindable.[citation needed]
The band split in 1981, but were featured on the 1994 "Smash the State" Volume 1 compilation released by Frank Manley, who also released a Canadian punk rock discography book bearing the same name.[3]
Back to his punk rock roots in 2005, Warren Kinsella formed the band Shit From Hell and released a self-titled album which featured two Hot Nasties covers: Barney Rubble (is my double) and Happy Song.
In 2005, The Evaporators also covered Barney Rubble is My Double on their Ripple Rock album.
