Hot Blooded Animals are one of Coughlan's favourite cover bands. A real good time classic rock group with years of experience of playing both nationally and internationally and are armed with a jukebox sized catalogue of tunes that are all performed with plenty of gusto. The Animals feature blistering guitar work, large slabs of bass grooves and the type of wild drumming keith moon died for. Even though they are a band of trumped-up Culchies , the Hot Blooded Animals play the kind of Rock n' Roll cover songs we can all relate to.
