Hot Chip & Friends: Supporting @crisis_uk
We are very proud to announce that on the 18th December Hot Chip & Friends will go âStraight To The Morningâ with one long B2B DJ set in support of @crisis_uk, the national charity for people who are homeless. https://t.co/cHWtCtpKoT pic.twitter.com/mCp9sc38Z7— Hot Chip (@Hot_Chip) December 8, 2020
“Weâre glad to be able to support the essential work that Crisis is doing with the homeless community at this time of year when so many factors combine to make life extremely difficult for vulnerable people on the streets or in temporary accommodation,” commented the band.
Earlier this month, Hot Chip were announced as one of the supports for New Order‘s homecoming Manchester show next year. Taking place at Manchesterâs Heaton Park on September 10, 2021, Working Menâs Club will also perform.
Hot Chip shared latest single ‘Straight to the Morning’, featuring Cocker, back in October. The band’s last studio album was 2019âs âA Bath Full of Ecstasyâ.
In a four-star review, NME declared the record Hot Chipâs strongest in years, calling it âan album about being suffocated by the world around you and trying to find moments of joy within that world, however small, in order to surviveâ.
