Hot Club Sandwich is a Wellington based trio featuring founder members Andrew London (guitar) and Terry Crayford (bass) with the addition of saxophonist James Tait Jameson.

Hot Club Sandwich present a repertoire of original songs about life in New Zealand from the point if view of the average middle class, middle aged, back yard bloke. Themes include coffee culture, TV evangelists, rugby fans, fashion victims, consumerism, youth culture and Wellington night life, lifestyle farmers, incomprehensible computer technology and appliance shopping. There are laughs a plenty with some satirical and provocative edges.
