Is this a late entry into the Most Ridiculous Video of the Year sweepstakes? Hot Chip's 'Don't Deny Your Heart' clip starts off normal enough, with Alexis Taylor and the band sitting in the back of a tour bus, facing off in a video game taking place on the football pitch (football as in what we call soccer, not the American kind). Pretty soon two opposing players start fighting and get swept through a vortex into "the dimension of dance." There, they cut rugs while surrounded by dozens of gold dancing men, only to return to the football pitch, where pretty soon all the players start making out as the sky rains soccer balls.
Hot Chip recently wrapped up the first leg of a two-part U.S. summer tour with a gig on Wednesday in New York City, which put them in the perfect position to stop by Big Apple-based 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' for a performance with house band the Roots. Not surprisingly, the British dance rockers killed it.
A wise man once said that age doesn’t matter unless you’re a cheese -- or a London dance rock group. We didn’t know what to think about Hot Chip when they burrowed into our ears with ‘Ready for the Floor’ back in 2006: the question hanging in the air was: Are these pasty dudes for real?
Now on their fifth studio album, Hot Chip know how to make a thoroughly enjoyable strand of dance music: ‘In Our Heads’ is unapologetically fun while also addressing the most adult of themes -- becoming an adult.
BBC Radio 1 host Zane Lowe has been known to preside over some interesting covers on his show -- and during Hot Chip's recent visit to promote their upcoming album, they did not disappoint, serving up a live-in-the-studio rendition of the Prince classic 'If I Was Your Girlfriend.'
Indie dance outfit Hot Chip have taken the covers off their latest video for single 'Night and Day.' The spacey clip features dancing monks, flying spaceships, an egg-shaped god and more.
Electro indie veterans Hot Chip will release their fifth studio album, 'In Our Heads,' next month, and the group recently performed 'Night and Day' from the record on British late night music show 'Later... with Jools Holland.'
Last week, the guys in Hot Chip treated us to the first single and video from their upcoming 'In Our Heads' album, due June 12. But they aren't finished getting fans excited for new music -- in fact, they've been quietly lining up an extensive series of tour dates that will put them on the road throughout the summer and into the fall.
Hot Chip's next album, 'In Our Heads,' isn't scheduled to be released until June, but the band is kicking the promotional machine into gear early with the release of the leadoff single and video, 'Flutes.'
