Updated: Tickets are still available to see Hot Chip, and there is a “Shut Up” discount offer through the Shut Up and Play the Hits documentary. The password is playhits.—Ed.
Face it, it is hard going to bed on Sunday knowing that the repetitive drone of yet another work day is right around the corner, and this feeling is only amplified during the summer months. Luckily, TVD is here to help you make the most of your weekend before you go back to the week’s routine.
London electronica group Hot Chip is touring in support of their new album In Our Heads and bringing their addictive dance beats to the Merriweather Post Pavilion this Sunday, July 22nd. We are giving away a pair of tickets to the show just because we love you.
While it seems like many electronic groups today are trying to savagely bass-pound you to death, Hot Chip‘s hypnotic sound invokes an ambiance of subtle sophistication. Their gentle and melodic vocals, playful percussion, and infectious bass shocks your body into movement while a gaping smile spreads across your face. The best kind of happy pill.
Along for the ride is Sleigh Bells—Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller’s experimental pop machine. The New York-based duo released their sophomore album Reign of Terror earlier this year. And for those who were lucky enough to see Shut Up and Play the Hits last night and can’t get enough, dance maestro James Murphy will be DJing.
In honor of our 24-hour giveaway, we want to know which song you would pick to if you were forced to listen to one on repeat for 24 hours.
I’m going with “Moonage Daydream” by Bowie. Tell us your answer in the comment box below, and you could win.
The winner will be selected tomorrow (7/20) at noon and must confirm the tickets via email by 3pm.
