In my previous post I mentioned the Hot Chip gig I was going to while
staying in Bournemouth. In fact the whole trip was based around seeing
them. The tickets were a birthday treat for Paul, who really liked
their previous album, Made in the Dark.
eccentric setting, stripped of all it’s seating and fitted with a
dance floor and three bars. Whenever the lights were on you could see
the white and gold décor, it had a great atmosphere. And despite being
the obviously poorer end of town, where as new visitors we felt slight
wary (not that I can comment living in a seaside town myself) the
crowd was there for some good music and dancing. Hot Chip released their new album, One Life Stand, at the beginning of
the month and what better to promote it than with a series of gigs.
With CasioKids (from Norway no less) providing the opening act, it
turned out to be a really good night out. Paul and I enjoy
electropop/dance and both bands were excellent live and played some
truly uplifting tracks. Playing tracks that I was unfamiliar with as
well as the ones I knew, they saved my favourite and probably their
most recognisable hit until last, Ready For The Floor. If you’ve not heard of Hot Chip, seriously, check them out on an
online music service like Spotify. Hot Chip’s new album One Life Stand is out now and highly recommended.
