They are being billed as Freakout/Release shows, tbf...

Yeah I know, but went with partner who has not really listened to them before. Its always a harder sell when you go to a gig with some one who is not familar with the artist and they play a lot of new stuff that they will certainly not know. Despite "not knowing" their stuff she recognised Over & Over, Boy from School and obviously the Madonna cover. She never recognised any of the newer stuff and to be fair the other older stuff they playedand so was not really won over by them. Dont think she will want to see them again. 

Its always a strange situation when many of the real fans want new material, deep cuts etc but the casual fans andthose not familar with them want the greatest hits set. it reminds me of something Midge Ure said at one of his gigs I went to. "Half the audience are here because they like me, but also half are here because their other half dragged them. The ones who have been dragged might like the big hits ifI play them but they will hate it if I only play the tracks they have never heard before.

As the band mentioned great fun for 20 odd quid.

I was hoping my partner would love Hot Chip, Oh well the next gig we are going to where she does not really know them is Fields of the Nephilim. I can guarantee she will not recognise anything that night 😊other then maybe the Harmonica Man intro.

As it's a year since the Park gig, it seemed appropriate to post this up and share its story. I was lucky enough to get the setlist at the end, which really put the cherry on top of what was alre

Basically, Hot Chip should be headlining the Pyramid and anyone who doesn't like that should be put on some sort of register and looked upon unfavourably come next T Day.  It'll be for the best.

It was Hot Chip doing Hot Chip… they are so consistently good.

 

Think its 7 times I've seen them and they are the most consistent band I've seen. They were even better than LCD when they did their joint headline tour. Do prefer their festival sets over their standalone gigs though. As for covers, 'Dancing in the Dark' is probably my favourite cover going.

Probably pushing 10 times for me… from 2008.

festivals are usually a joyous occasion anyway and Hot Chip are a perfect feel good fit for me.. but their standalone gigs always get an enthusiastic following.

I am with you that Dancing in the Dark was genius… my daughter loves ‘Sabotage’ after we saw them perform it in the tiny Village Underground in Hoxton.. it was pretty epic.

I would love to see them top the big pointy one but appreciate it’s not going to happen… Park headlines are enough of  party though

The thing you must remember is that Hot Chip did give us a Warning.

The Warning.

I'll spell it out for you..

Snap off your head,

Break your legs.

They don't play this much any-more.

One of the reasons I (and many others) love Brixton o2 so much as well!

yeh for sure

was at the primal scream show at alexandra park with the same setup, and can confirm the view was good from most places. the sound could have been better but we got up pretty close to make up for it

      2027 Stage Predictions

      Elastica posted last night teasing a return, wonder where they would play if they reformed?

      I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining

      All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.

      Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.

      Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
