In pursuit of gold Usain Bolt hit almost 45km per hour – Berlin 2009.

In pursuit of glory Lance Armstrong averaged over 40km per hour – Tour De France 2005.

With more balls than both Bolt and Armstrong combined, Hot Pursuit is the FASTEST, the BOLDEST, the most VIRILE band to grace the Illawarra.

Hot Pursuit is the FASTEST, the BOLDEST, the most VIRILE band in the Illawarra.

Hot Pursuit is the only band in Wollongong capable of reaching speeds above 45km per hour.

With a diverse set of original hits, featuring rap, scat, and premium disco funk, Hot Pursuit are making waves, real big waves, ever seen a tsunami live on stage?
Known as Wollongong’s biggest blowhard, Evan Batkin squirts his steamy sax melodies over each filthy funk number, and has been voted Wollongong’s number #1, thirty-two year old white rapper who mainly plays sax.

To his right, Oliver Lojek takes a tasteful tinkle on the kuitar, while his distinct vocal tones “weave a rich tapestry” (C, GPT 2023) that will be spoken of by generations to come.

Batkin and Lojek conceptualise Hot Pursuit as the first multifaceted, multimedia, multicultural band, who knows their multiplication tables, from Wollongong.

They first hit the stage as an acoustic duo with a refreshing beat-box friendly set.“MORE! MORE! MORE!” the people screamed. And thus, a band was formed, with the conscription of some of Wollongong’s most experienced and decorated music veterans, with backgrounds in jazz, musical theatre, and rock and roll, baby! We’re in Pursuit, now listen!
