Hot Chip

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hot Chip are a Grammy-nominated British electropop band. They have released four studio albums Coming on Strong, The Warning, Made in the Dark and One Life Stand. Hot Chip formed in 2000, though members Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard had previously worked together and had been at Elliott School in Putney, London since 1991. In an interview, Goddard jokingly compared early Hot Chip releases to sixth-form poetry with acoustic guitars, although an interest in dance music rhythms and electronic experimentation is present in even the early recordings and releases such as the 'Mexico EP'. The current line up was completed when occasional collaborators Owen Clarke, Felix Martin and later Al Doyle joined the band full time in 2003.
