	Encyclopedia: Steve Bays
		Steve Aaron Bays (born May 2, 1978) is a Jewish-Canadian musician and the lead singer and keyboardist of the Victoria based band Hot Hot Heat.
		Bays had been in many different bands since about 1995 and met Paul Hawley (later Hot Hot Heat's drummer) in 1998.
		Bays took on vocals and keyboards a year and a half ago, joined by the group's first guitarist, DeCaro, and he brought along a poppier musical sensibility and a rhythmic, emphatic singing style.

	Hot Hot Heat
		Steve: We're from Victoria, BC a little island off of the western coast of Canada; also referred to as the city of the newly wed and nearly dead.
		Steve: Considering how little we have listened to the Cure, I would definitely say it is not intentional.
		Steve: I'd like to look back and be genuinely content with the records I made.

		Keyboardist-turned-vocalist Steve Bays lays his frenetic, scattershot prose over the top of the shifting rhythms, producing an effect not too dissimilar from running the wrong way up an escalator.
		Bays admits that the band’s eclectic sound isn’t for everyone, but that doesn’t seem to bother him, despite the added pressure of a major label deal.
		Steve Bays: We were meeting with different labels because we only had a one-record deal with Sub Pop.

		Bays is so encouraged by the band's progress that he already has seven or eight new songs on his hard drive at home.
		However, while Bays warmed to his role and grew increasingly confident in his abilities, the band's guitarist, Dante DeCaro, was slower to adjust.
		Bays -- who along with Hawley writes all the group's material -- admits that he's "over pink now" -- a color he uses to describe the buoyant, new wave anthems on Make Up and one the group frequently donned when playing live during that era.

	Profile: Steve Bays - Hot Hot Heat
		But lead singer Steve Bays' energized howl and anti-gloom lyrics set the band apart from any Joy Division or New Order comparisons, inspiring fits of jubilee, not depression.
		Luckily, vocalist Bays, guitarist Dante DeCaro, drummer Paul Hawley, and bassist Dustin Hawthorne of Hot Hot Heat believed in their party-hardy, emotional hyperbolics, and soon after the quartet formed in 1999, so did the rest of the world.
		There is a sense of frenzy inherent in the group's songs.

		Lead singer Steve Bays started off the show on a good - no, fantastic - note, with the unprecedented arrival of a pair of teeny panties at his feet.
		Bays' distinct yelp of a voice sounds exactly as it does on the band's albums, which is a very good thing.
		Bays alternated between singing and bopping around to singing and bopping around while playing his keyboard.

		Immediately, all attention is focused on Steve Bays, the wiry singer and keyboard player donning a sleek, fl leather jacket and an afro of mythic proportions.
		When I ask him about it later, Bays admits he usually plays to the people in the front of the crowd, mainly because they are the ones he’s actually able to see through the stage lighting.
		This record is a milestone, not just because it’s their major-label debut, but because Bays and his songwriting partner, drummer Paul Hawley, have set out to distinguish themselves from the angular haircut sporting, quasi-new wave brethren with which they have been pigeonholed.

	Species Focus - June 2003
		In a good year, millions of pounds of bays would be dredged from the waters of Peconic Bay, a rich, sprawling watershed of more than 200 square miles of countless bays and marshes.
		But 99.9 percent of the bay scallops sold in America these days are farmed in the waters of northeastern China, on the shores of the Yellow Sea.
		Because China bays are harvested after just one growing season, they are smaller than domestic bays, which have a longer growing cycle.

		The sound is cleaner cut, the songs are more consistent, and there's an overall feel of who Hot Hot Heat is. There is more focus on the guitar on this album (where their last album used guitar as a background to the main focus of keyboards) and Steve Bays' vocals over his keyboards.
		Singer/keyboardist/songwriter Steve Bays always wrote good songs, but it seems that he wrote some exceptional ones on this one, even if the final product isn't as great as some lesser-written HHH songs of the past.
		Bays' vocals, which have always been different than other singers' vocals, sound different than usual.

		It wasn't a conscious attempt by the band to claim some kind of hot title for themselves, or maybe even be considered hot boys of a sort, Bays adds, a tad nonplussed by the idea.
		Good musicians, all of 'em, and Steve has a great set of pipes." Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie later remixed six tracks on the album, encouraging the band to experiment with dirty compression and, say, rerecording guitar in the bathroom.
		Now fully immersed in his overheated career through the recording of their next album this summer, Bays says he's just trying to have fun to keep the neurosis at bay.

		Bays: We actually have been doing a lot of writing on the road whereas we took a long time off the road to write Elevator.
		Bays: He definitely had a big influence on it as far as the songs go - we already had the songs demo'd.

		Though the Unicorns were keyboard driven, Hot Hot Heat took it to another level, with frontman Steve Bays utterly blowing the audience away with an enthusiastic energy that left the first two rows drenched in his sweat.
		Bays and bassist Dustin Hawthorne had an obvious onstage rapport, which translated into childlike boisterous interaction between good friends, making the show more fun and intimate for an audience obviously happy to be a part of it.
		While Bays and Hawthorne were the obvious duo during the performance, Bays’ cousin, who maintained a place onstage throughout the show, had his own back-and-forth going with Hawley as the two laughed with each other in between songs.

		Steve Janulis (now the indisputable and world-renowned Father of Fish Products Day), a new employee witnessing for the first time the flood of Christmas-time sweets brought in by Process Systems Engineering personnel in B-150B, decides that he wants to bring in something non-sweet -- and something indigenous to his home state of Florida.
		Steve Janulis, in a pre-FPD-‘96 encyclical, bestows the official title of "Great Uncle of Fish Products Day" upon Ryan Schad and Jeff Smith, for their contributions in making Fish Products Day the grand celebration that it is today.
		Steve Janulis – the world-renowned Father of Fish Products Day himself – admits that, "in one of those cruel tricks of nature", he is allergic to crab and lobster.

		Bays says that the tricky part of juggling singing and playing keyboard during live performances is switching patches at the right time.

		The band is still earning the right to experiment, but Bays says that experimentation, in this and other bands, is what has informed their sound.
		Bays says Radio One told them that it was trying to be sensitive to its broad audience "The downside was that we had recorded a session for Top of the Pops, which didn’t air.
		The fact that they were even considered for the BBC ‘s legendary music program at all still floors Bays, who remembers seeing Nirvana on Top of the Pops.

		Bays then takes those ideas to the band during soundcheck, which doubles as a two-hour rehearsal.
		Bays said the new tunes are definitely taking on a different vibe than tracks on Elevator or Make Up the Breakdown, but it's too early to describe the sound exactly.
		Bays was reluctant to explain the lyrics, but the track seems to deal with relationship issues judging by lines such as, "And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change."

		Keyboards are mixed with synthesizer on the third track, "Have a Good Sleep." Steve Bays' voice makes him an ideal punk rock vocalist.
		His voice is brash, as it rises over the chaotic instrumentation, especially on "Touch You Touch You." Things slow down on the beginning of the disc's final track, "More for Show." The music eventually evolves back into their standard sound of rollicking indie rock.
		Bays adds keyboards, while Dante DeCaro performs on guitar, Paul Hawley on drums, and Dustin Hawthorne on bass.

		Singer and keyboardist Steve Bays has the now look, with his hip- hugging pants, Kewpie doll face and spiky Rod Stewart (Faces-era) rooster hair.
		The band’s tense pop hooks, agitated vocals and herky-jerky rhythms inspired the sizable crowd to handclap and, yes, dance along (if bouncing up and down can be called dancing).
		“This is one of the first dance songs we ever wrote,” Bays said, announcing “Five Times out of 100,” a rapid-fire song that recalled the acerbic-yet-danceable dissonance of art-punk forebears like the Au Pairs.

		As Elevator begins its ascent (yes, there is a vaguely conceptualized elevator theme throughout the album) with "Running Out of Time," it's evident that one major change seems to be a shift from propelling keyboards to chugging guitar rock.
		However, that does not hurt the track as it pushes forward on time-shifting rhythm and Steve Bays' herky-jerky, energetic vocals.
		Bays' lyrics, always a weaker point of the band, find themselves buried enough in the mix to avoid the spotlight.

		Steve Bays has a problem with his peers.
		Here, to Bays, is Scotland, where last week the band was wrapping up a handful of U.K. tour dates before beginning a stretch of U.S. shows on Monday (March 31) in Atlanta in support of their breakthrough album, Make up the Breakdown.
		The most striking facet of the multidimensional LP, which was recently given a major-label push by Warner Bros. after indie Sub Pop's initial release in October, is Bays' voice, which alternates between flitting atop a determined melody and creating one itself.

		The album's most exhilarating moment is the bridge in "Running Out of Time," a series of half-time breakdowns that ends with Bays mumbling in a rhythmic slur that's part sassy rock-dude rap and part 3 a.m.
		Bays' voice can be cloying, but it's hard to imagine a more laid-back singer handling these ostentatious pop songs.
		The combo of panache, sarcasm and uncertainty Bays works up on "Pickin' It Up" -- a heartfelt number set during the "forty-eighth hour of a two-day night" -- is a better encapsulation of hipster love affairs than even the Strokes' oversexed ennui.
