Hot Chip

Hot Chip
Date: 28.02.08
Venue: Corn Exchange, Brighton



After only seeing Hot Chip performing an in store at (the now sadly defunct) Fopp in Brighton just under two years ago, I was mega excited to finally see them play their electronic music in a proper venue. Opening with Shake A Fist off their recently released Made In The Dark album, and playing maybe a slightly too shorter set of just an hour they played a mix of old and new, and not surprisingly it was Over and Over off The Warning LP that got the crowd dancing.

Alexis Taylor's high pitched melodic vocals swept across the Corn Exchange to the sound of the rest of the bands Casio based bleeps. It was refreshing to see music being played so intelligently and passionately as the boys did last night. Rumoured to be playing Summercase in Spain this year, I really fucking hope they do as would love to see them again.
