Yes, it’s sold out, but The Stranger suggests you do what it
takes to get into this show—hit up a scalper, walk in the
front door backward, pretend you’re the dude from Free Blood,
whatever. Hot Chip’s latest, Made in the Dark, isn’t their
strongest, but it’s spiked with some of the best songs in their deep
party repertoire. Their live shows are out of control, adding
live percussive shake to their nasty thump. And don’t miss !!!
exes Free Blood, who were an unexpected highlight at this year’s SXSW.
