"Wildly infectious dance beats meet dark, hypnotic rock when Hot Chip and The xx took the stage for a night of live music, from the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C.
Both Hot Chip and The xx hail from London (with members who met at the city's Elliott School), but have decidedly different sounds. Hot Chip, which formed a decade ago, is known for its off-kilter, exuberant rhythms, and for its ability to mix danceable synth-pop and electronica with an assured cleverness and wry sense of humor. The xx, a trio of self-described introverts, is much moodier, with carefully paced rhythms, strange-but-spare atmospherics and incredibly simple guitar lines. But both The xx and Hot Chip share a curious artistry. Their thoughtfully crafted songs play with familiar forms — from disco to new wave, house and techno — but manage to crib from the past without sounding like a mindless regurgitation."-NPR
