“By the time darkness fell, the crowd was sufficiently antsy. Their thirst for rich sound was quenched by Hot Chip‘s arrival, opening with ‘And I Was a Boy From School’ from their second album. The humid New York night blew through all their albums, playing crowd favorites like ‘One Life Stand’ and ‘Over and Over.’ The night was an eveloping blanket of musk, causing the band and the crowd to shed layers of clothing as they raged on.

One of the band members, Joe Goddard, was unable to be there because he was with his wife, expecting their first child. The other members made sure to pay due tribute to their beloved bandmate, closing the night with a gloriously extended version of ‘Ready for the Floor’ that made the entire island of Manhattan rumble.” [Ology]

While Spoon was warming up the sold out Madison Square Garden crowd last night, Hot Chip shared a bill with Hercules & Love Affair and Holy Ghost! at Central Park Summerstage.

Coming up, Hot Chip have dates scheduled with LCD Soundsystem. More pictures from Summerstage below…
