Embury Cocktails caught up with scrappy Liverpool rockers The Hot Melts just before their first U.S. show opening for The Courteeners at Mercury Lounge. Later that night they (presumably) got on a plane bound for Austin, where they were to play several shows at South by Southwest. Clearly, endurance is not a problem for these guys who radiate good vibes and rock out with utter sincerity on stage. They know a thing or two about drinking as well, and were kind enough to share some of their insights into the art of what (and how much) to drink before performing, where to drink in Liverpool, and how best to spend a hungover day (awesome detail: it involves watching "The NeverEnding Story").
