Video: Hot Chip: "Arrest Yourself"
Hot Chip? H0t Ch1p's more like it. In their latest video, for The Warning track "Arrest Yourself", the London crew visually answer the question, "What would Hot Chip look like in ASCII?"
Here, the band does its thing utilizing only zeros, ones, commas, apostrophes, and periods. The result is a flickering, fuzzy dance episode that gets an A for effort, even if our continually waning interest in the clip did force us to alt-tab over to our WOW game every once in a while.
Hot Chip will play Australia and New Zealand's 2007 Big Day Out festival. Since we last reported, they tacked on two performances to their January schedule.
Dates:
01-19 Auckland, New Zealand - Big Day Out
01-21 Gold Coast, Australia - Big Day Out
01-25 Sydney, Australia - Big Day Out
01-27 Sydney, Australia - Sydney Festival
01-28 Melbourne, Australia - Big Day Out
01-29 Melbourne, Australia - TBA
