After an hour and a half of waiting desperately in the static line and just seconds before we completely gave up ready to leave in angst, the organizers of the free Hot Chip show let us in. We were frostbitten by then. Hot Chip is a British Electro-pop band that recently released their new album One Life Stand. The show was sponsored by the myspace “secret show” and yes it was a secret to all but those with access to internet. So was it worth risking pneumonia? perhaps. I got a free poster, and pack of cool key chains. It was a good performance, although they do not make it to the list of my favorites. Hot Chip, I can attest, sounds better live than digitally. Their electronic sounds are upbeat and inspire movement of the body. My favorite number by them is Ready for the floor Watch them live, is what I would recommend.  
Hot Chip is performing at Terminal 5 on April 22/23
