The gig was of course Hot Chip & my accompanying crew were Madd, Doodles & her friend Hols.
As a general setup, the Guildhall was pretty good, it looks like an old cinema or theatre & had a good vibe about it. There were about 8 strobes & there plenty of studio lighting, rather than effects (a la Lemon Jelly) or anthing.
Here's their setlist:
One Pure Thought,
Bendable, Posable,
Shake a Fist,
I Was a Boy at School,
Hold On
*Alley Cats (New Song),
Over & Over,
Wrestlers,
*(New Song),
Ready for the Floor,
Made in the Dark,
Encore:
*(New Song),
My Piano.
No Fit State
Finale:
Nothing Compares (Cover)
The support act was terrible, so bad in fact, I'm not going to say anything about him! Hot Chip, however, were great - they really know how to rock the crowd & their set was packed with great tracks. Also their performance was really passionate & they worked really hard.
Overall I'd give it 4* (out of 5*), they lost one with that shocking support act!
