Last month, Hot Chip invited their MySpace friends to a Greco Roman wrestling party. Now, they've fast-forwarded through time to request your presence at a slew of modern-day-themed dance extravaganzas across Europe and North America. Togas and singlets may be inappropriate for the occasion, but spandex can be just as festive.
