Electro-nerds Hot Chip are coming to Cardiff. They formed in 2000, though members Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard had previously worked together and had been in the same sixth form at Elliott School in Putney, London.

They have released three studio albums—Coming on Strong, The Warning, and Made in the Dark. The Warning was named Album of the Year by Mixmag and voted the fourth best album of 2006 by NME. They released their third studio album, Made in the Dark, in February 2008; Mixmag awarded it the title Album of the Month in their January 2008 issue.
