But not in the same sense that Matt Damon played him. Our favorite nerdy laptop-stitched popsters did a version of “Ready For The Floor” from their much-rotated new one, Made In The Dark. As mentioned just a couple days ago, we missed their Highline Ballroom gig (and have video to prove it), so this could’ve just felt like more salt in the wound, but instead — it felt so right. Plus, we’ll see ‘em at Coachella, where hopefully we’ll raise our lighters to the dusky title track. For now, please admire Alexis Taylor’s hat/glasses/argyle pants combo.

Yup, he’s ready for the floor.

Made In The Dark is out via DFA/Astralwerks. Do it, do it, do it now.

    I may be mistaken, but I thought Alexis Taylor was the skinny vocalist and Joe Goddard was the bigger, hairier one.

    You are correct. Wrong Chip. Fixed.

    I think I hate this band and I don’t know why. I’m sure that’s a sign I read too many music blogs.

    That is the most immoble audience I have ever seen listening to Hot Chip.

    On this show they didn’t have Felix with them, he was probably holed up in his hotel room with the flu and stewing over not being able to perform on Jimmy Kimmel. I guess Hot Chip figured they could do one song without him that a few million people would see and not do an entire set without him that a few hundred would see.
