This time last week my brother, my husband, and I were gearing up to go see Hot Chip. We caught them when they came through town in April of 2007, but they are a band you can see live multiple times without losing interest.
Hot Chip did not disappoint. They are so much fun! Their new record, Made in the Dark, sounds even better live. I didn't feel like carrying my camera around that night, so here's someone else's video from the show. And, yes, we danced. Hot Chip has a way of loosening the inhibitions. So our bobbing heads may be in there somewhere, as we were standing in the same area as the filmer. That could even be my "wwooooo" at the end.
I'm tellin' you, concert-going is a love/hate relationship. But some bands are worth submitting yourself to all the drunk idiots for. I'm just glad I'm not one of those drunk idiots ... I can remember the show, I didn't spill a beverage on any strangers, I didn't vomit on myself or anyone around me, and I have more cash in my wallet.
