Hot Tuna's LP, 'The Phosphorescent Rat' was released on January 3rd, 1974. Initially Hot Tuna was a side project for a few band mates from Jefferson Airplane.
Former members of Jefferson Airplane emerge in 1969 with a strong line-up and the birth of 'Hot Tuna' becomes music to our ears. Eventually through personnel changes the band evolved into a more heavier sound, but let's go back prior to that.
