(EMI) Hot Chip have spent much of the last 12 months compounding their status as one of the hardest working bands around. Apart from numerous musical side projects, remixing duties and running a record label, they have had sold-out tours in the UK, Europe and the US. Now the band are set to return to the US for a second tour this Fall. The dates include two shows each at the Wiltern in L.A., the Metro in Chicago, and Terminal 5 in NYC.In addition to the music making partnership of Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Owen Clarke, Al Doyle and Felix Martin, the band will be adding a live drummer on these dates. The drummer, Leo Taylor has played with the bands Zongamin and Gramme and is sure to add another dimension to their already pulsating, propulsive, and unequivocally fun live shows.
If the band aren't playing in your area, you can enjoy a slice of their live experience from their new EP entitled iTunes Live: Berlin Festival. Recorded at Radialsystem V in Berlin on May 8, the 6 track EP features: "Over and Over", "Out At The Pictures", "One Pure Thought", "Don't Dance", "No Fit State", and "Ready for the Floor". It is available now exclusively on iTunes.
This is the second tour this year in support of their massively acclaimed album Made in the Dark released earlier this year. Made In The Dark was informed by two years of touring, so the album was designed to be performed live
