they've been around for ages

but then the DFA signed them, so they have EMI money.

I'm not sure about their new single, its a bit louge-y, but I like them as a whole.

this is just like when

my flatmate said 'i really like snow patrol's first album' talking about the one they released two years ago, despite them having about 54857 previous albums.

well, not JUST like... but pretty similar. yeah.

yep

i saw them over 2 years ago and they seemed to be drumming up lots of interest even then but it's only recently that things seem to have kicked off.

yeah

I think it's the combination of EMI-ness and Over and Over being played in just about every indie club ever, for like, EVER.

i saw them

few years back when coming on strong came out. but am really looking forward to seeing them later this moth because over and over is a club anthem BLUP BLUP.

new single is laid back but like all the songs on new album ,its catchy.

Really?

It's a good song!

I remember 'Playboy' and 'Down with Prince' on 120 Minutes...

being played constantly from about 2003.

I personally think they've suddenly become rather wonderful.

I first saw them supporting

athlete (ghey) and thought there were well weird, but not that good.

So... anyone know any other bands like hot chip?

I'm thinking in terms of being witty and relaxing to listen to.

JezCC | 4 May '06, 15:00 | Send note | Report this | Reply

good but in a non-outsanding way.

Looking forward to the album but i really wanna see them live. Missed Luminaire tickets and king's college. they playing any festivals?

Hot Chip are ace

If you are a fan of the newer stuff, but don't own the first album, go download 'You Ride We Ride In My Ride'

The live version of 'Boy From School' is way better than the single version. Somebody posted it up here a while back. PM me if you want it

Can't wait for the new album. Can't fookin wait

Hot Chip

Are disco fucking sex.

They're like Kraftwerk X Hofmeister Bear.

And that, kids, is cooler than AIDS in a gun.

they are a lot of fun live

I saw them at a benefit at the Scala at Kings Cross with Cock Albarn DJ. They made me grin and dance. They stood in a line with their keyboards at the front of the stage, just like Kraftwerk.
