This month I’ll be mostly eating Hot Chip(s) / 4th Feb '10

hotchip

The weird and wacky, but exceptionally wonderful Hot Chip return to the UK this February with a new album and tour to boot.

The five piece band released their fourth studio album titled ‘One Life Stand’ on Monday 1st Feb and their UK tour will kick off on 12th Feb at o2 Academy, Glasgow.

I am a huge fan of this band. Collectively, they look like a loveable bunch of misfits, but their live events are raw, uplifting, and quite electrifying. The band has just announced on Twitter that they’ll be playing at this year’s Bestival. Hurrah!

To date, all three Hot Chip albums have produced both eclectic and chart-topping tracks, all firmly stamped with the trademark Hot Chip sound. Guardian.co.uk said they were “blown away” by the fourth album whilst dance site Datatransmission said it was an “absolute cracker.”

I cannot wait to hear the new album performed live, so I’ll be heading to the Leeds leg of their tour on 16th Feb. I’m Ready For The Floor – are you?!
