November 24th: Huarache Lights

Good evening all,

I still feel like trash, but when members of Hot Chip come to town to DJ and you bought tickets months ago, you go. They spun a variety, it was a truly odd set, but everyone seemed to be having fun. Sure, there was that dude who was cocky, yet self-conscious, of his dancing so he moved his partner to the wall to grind off-beat and ‘allude’ to intimacy and surprise, but what concert/set isn’t loaded with secondary, obvious visual entertainment?

What managed to not be obvious was that these two seemingly tertiary members of the band played details from their full band’s hit Huarache Lights, and then everything made more sense. It wasn’t a disappointing Hot Chip set and it wasn’t a disappointing DJ show. Sometimes preconceived labeling makes things unnecessarily confusing.

Everything Hot Chip does is grossly under-appreciated.

Enjoy!
