Having steadily built up a hugely popular and well-deserved reputation over the last four years, Hot Chip will be rolling intoNew York City as bonafide headline material. Inventive and genre-spanning, the 'Chip were ludicrously chucked in a box with the likes of Klaxons and Hadouken! at the dawn of nu-Rave - a sacrilege that belied their classy, modern take on soul, pop music and all-out funk. Latest album 'Made in the Dark' should have removed any lingering doubt of the band's bigger credentials - as pop maestros ably taking on the mantle of Prince for the Noughties. The songs take on a further dimension performed live, and as recent Bestival-goers will testify, if anyone can lift a mood and get a dance on, it's Hot Chip.
