I came to Saturday night’s Hot Chip concert at Highline Ballroom expecting 2 things—a sea of hipsters wearing brightly-colored American Apparel unitards, and a good time, despite the hipsters. It was undoubtedly a good time. They may have looked like a bunch of geeks, but from the moment the UK electro-pop quintet opened with “Shake a Fist,” they kept the crowd moving with the steady flow of the best tracks off their 2 most recent albums. Songs from new album, Made in the Dark, fit alongside older fan favorites perfectly, and the crowd seemed to already know all the songs, even though the record won’t be released in stores until tomorrow.Singer Alexis Taylor was sporting a championship wrestling belt and he and the band earned that title when they knocked out the crowd with a perfectly fun and danceable version of crowd-pleaser “Over and Over.” After ruling the stage again with new single “Ready For The Floor,” the guys left the stage, only to return to the stage with a phenomenal encore featuring noisy version of ballad “Made In The Dark” and “No Fit State.”

Ironically, the crowd was not exactly what I expected. There were no unitards and the young audience had its fair share of frat boy-looking guys, and girls with shiny clothing and high-heels. With $4 cans of hipster beer-water (Pabst) in their hands, they threw up their arms and shook their hips, which has become a rarity at NYC indie shows.

If you’re looking to have a good time, Hot Chip will be back in New York to play Terminal 5 on April 12.
