Touring hot on the heels of their new album <em>Some Like It Hot,</em> bar italia is an exhibitionist and muscular five-piece &ndash; equally comfortable at festival mosh-pit incitement and moments of pin-drop intimacy. <em>Some Like It Hot</em> is the much anticipated follow up to bar italia&rsquo;s two critically acclaimed albums on Matador, the poised <em>Tracey Denim&nbsp;</em>and the grand <em>The Twits</em>, which were released months apart. Since then, the band has traversed the globe with headline performances from Istanbul to Tokyo, sold-out multi-night stints in New York and Los Angeles, and festival slots from Glastonbury to Coachella.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Some Like It Hot&nbsp;</em>is a 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon about a group of rogue musicians on the adventure path. It is funny, sexy, rambunctious and evergreen &ndash; a showcase of a triple-threat cast at full-throttle. <em>Some Like It Hot</em> is also the new album by bar italia, and certain parallels are perhaps not accidental. It pulses with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture over lustful rockers, spellbinding folk pop, punch-drunk ballads and undefinable moments that sneak upon you like a burst of 5pm sunshine. The record is the culmination of the joint inner world of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton &ndash; three singer-songwriters who have transcended their underground roots to embrace a bold, widescreen horizon.</p>
