Hot Chip, Growing
Hot Chip has to be one of the most all-around likable bands in the
dance music universe--geeky, whimsical, and, three largely successfully
albums later, still self-effacing. The U.K. group also has to be one of
the most band bands making dance music--as in, this is five dudes with
real live instruments crafting deft, often bubbling songs that draw on
just about every thread of pop-music DNA in the canon: funk, soul,
rock, techno, for starters. Populism and geektitude have seldom found
such comfortable marriage. We also have to love that Hot Chip has
Growing tagging along on this tour. While far from "difficult," the
duo's peculiar style of guitar-based drone experimentation might not
have ever graced a venue like Rams Head Live otherwise.
