Does anyone actually enjoy a 1st date? 

The alcohol really helped and we had a ball. 

did you just disagree with yourself in two sentences?

Will not be the first time I have done it ??

Usually 1st dates are not a very enjoyable experience. After turning up to this one half cut, we both had a ball ?

Watched 6music set and really missed Sarah. I met her in 2012 and thought she brought some ZING to the drums. Also it’s rather a sausage fest band without her. 

New bloke was OK but not enough character. Yet.

Another thought I had is that I all the old songs, each member seems to turn up the phaser / noise / wierd knob whenever they feel like it, thus occasionally removing more of the song than necessary - especially if they ALL do it in the same song. Slightly annoying for me as a long term fan and I wonder if a new fan thinks “what is going on here?”  

Cant wait to see them on The Park as that’s where I work, however I normally work the Saturday dusk till dawn shift when they’re on...... so I may just need to start smoking as ask for a 90 minute fag break!!!  Can you get addicted in 3 months?

The other end of this stick tho, is it can be a pain to those who travel for gigs. Currently I can go to a gig in Leeds or Liverpool and not have to take the afternoon off, that wouldn't be so if gigs were earlier. Also, spare a thought for the citizens of fair Huddersfield, Clitheroe, Wigan, Buxton, Lancaster, Skelmersdale, Burnley, Halifax, Todmorden, St Helen's, all those sorts of places where life is barely worth living, those cats gotta travel to see anything at all.

As a resident of Lancaster I can indeed vouch that getting back home from any gig anywhere is either an entirely sober venture or a total arse ache.

Setlist.fm has been updated to suggest one more new song was added to the setlist since the BBC set. Hope this didn't make anyone get to bed too late.

Just noticed the curfew for the Brighton show is now 11. When I got my ticket it was 10, so fairly glad to see this - potential for a longer set

Pete Fowler DJ set

Hearing that the first single (Hungry Child) is out tomorrow and the album in June (don’t know the date). Haven’t been following closely but I think this is news. 

[stuartbert two hats]

Not on until 9!

Could be - Shaun Keaveny has Hot Chip news at 1pm tomorrow 

[stuartbert two hats]

They were glorious.

Again.

As usual.

Ah yeah, makes sense. Was a music industry source who also played me the song. I’d imagine it’ll be true. So excited for this album and to see them at Glasto. Wish they’d play dancing in the dark though!

How long are they on for? 

[gibble]

That was a lot of fun. I really don’t know what to do if there’s a HC, JH and WTC clash...

I had a ball mate and it was great to meet you.

The new songs are ace. Can't wait for the album.

I wasn't looking at the time when I left.  About 2 hours I presume.

I doubt it for a 12-song set as the 6Music set was just over an hour. Guess you'd had a few ales!

[uscore]

setlist.fm says it was the same set as for Glasgow, which was one  song longer than the BBC set last week.  So it will have been about 66 minutes + the length of the new song.

They were on for about 90 minutes. I was home for just after 11.

[Odessa]

They played for an hour and a bit. Nowhere near 2 hours.

Brilliant set. I can't see them at Glasto but them on the Park is gonna be an incredible headline set. Buzzing to see them in Bilbao and will also be all over tickets for the main tour.
