Even though it was the band's first visit to the Tiny Desk, Hot Chip's performance felt like a homecoming - a sweet return to some of the instruments the group first created its signature, playful sound with. Hot Chip's "tiny instruments," as lead vocalist Alexis Taylor called them, fit right into the space.
The members of Hot Chip arrived at NPR HQ each dressed in a different colored top, their bright and brilliant looks matching the music's classic electro-pop vibe. The band, joined by Jonny Lam on pedal steel guitar (who played a Tiny Desk previously with Sinkane) began the set with two tracks from its 2006 album The Warning, including "Over and Over" and "Boy From School." The latter of the two, Taylor explained, was written on the Casio keyboard that both Taylor and guitarist Rob Smoughton play in this set. Then the band slows it down a bit with "Look At Where We Are," before ending with the classic "Ready For The Floor."
And speaking of bringing the perfect look, after the show, Taylor got out an on-theme top: an NPR branded sweatshirt that he asked us all to sign. It was a rare, tender and probably once-in-a-lifetime moment, when one of your favorite bands is asking you to sign merch.

Thanks for having us 🧡
Thanks for the entertainment ❤ that was blissful
Thanks for coming :)
So good!!!!! ❤❤
Great set, here since "the warning". And cool Rembrandt pullover Alexis!🎉
One of my all time favorite bands and what an amazing performance!
Hot Chip, out of nowhere. Thanks NPR
Always out of nowhere. Forevermore.
this is the most 'cool uncle' energy ever assembled in one place
thumbs up for me!
Yes, “cool uncle” energy is the greatest description.
Hot uncle 😅
The uncle you visit and ask; What are all the instruments for? Uncle; I'm in a band.
Ok, whatever you say uncle.
I was not expecting to start watching and see they have all aged the same as me!
Criminally underrated.
Did you guys know that Hot Chip will break your legs, snap off your head & Hot Chip will put you down under the ground?
I wish they played the old stuff more.
Whoever does the mixing for tiny desk is the real MVP.
get teary-eyed everytime i listen to : boy from school ... hot chip soundtracks my youth in the happiest times
Relatable
Same here, reminds me of my early 20s; being bored and broke and falling in love with heart breakers. Tears For Fears did a really beautiful cover of it
Same but was in my late teens. So nostalgic
Amazing voice
first time hear "boy from school" in 2010 when i' was near 50
and from that time feel near heart ache every time i hear it

king of kings, thanks
Hot Chip!? What did we do to deserve this Tiny Desk performance!? Just superb. So much fun.
I have to add: that steel guitar was such a great addition! I couldn’t have imagined it before it happened but it’s like it was meant to be in the arrangement.
One of the things I absolutely love about Hot Chip is how they have so many arrangements and takes on all their songs. Every time I hear them live, it feels like every track is fresh and perfectly arranged for the situation. Boy From School is a great example and I can think of at least three versions (album, this, 2013 live version in Sydney on the Moshcam channel). They are all bangers and perfect in their own ways.
The 2015 Glastonbury version is excellent as well
@@andrewfritz3673 I'll check it out, thanks
Vibey
you might enjoy their version of the song from "bluedot 2019", also on youtube. it starts at 37:00. it's CRAZY good and might be my favourite version.
@@andrewfritz3673 That Glastonbury set was unreal
HOT CHIP ❤ been listening for like 15 years and still listen now 🎉 so good!
There is nothing like a Hot chip concert. I have been to two and it was absolutely wonderful. Come back to the US. I have loved you since 2004.
I subconsciously called out to the universe in need of this and NPR delivered
Huge hit of nostalgia with a fresh arrangement. So much love for the cool dads of electro pop
Look At Where We Are is me and my wife's wedding song. This live version is incredible, thank you!
Wife here! It was perfect 😍
❤ I see where you two are ! 👍
no way! same here!
Lol same!
Bro, these is the kind of things that I want for my life ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
One of my favorite bands to see live, over and over again.
Over and over and over and over?
Saw them live the last time in something like 2010? They have been totally off the radar for me so this was really fun to see pop up in YT this morning!
Tiny Desk never ceases to amaze me!!
They never cease to amaze us with their talent and creativity!❤
Loving that pink Rembrandt sweater 🔥
The drip across the board is amazing.
Boy From School sounded amazing with the pedal steel. Beautiful arrangement.
I've been listening to them for years but I have never seen them live or even checked out a video. It was nice to finally put some faces and personalities with the sounds I've known for the past few decades. Let this be known for a band of any style, genre, etc., steel guitar is always a lovely add to any sound, keep it alive and well.
Melting hearts
Oh yes.. I’ll give you laid back. Long time listener first time commenter; just wanted to say thanks to npr and the musicians
First time hearing them... This is DOPE!! Ty Tiny Desk
Real technical musicians that have been playing FULL band electronic music FOR SO LONG. Plus...they first formed as kids🫠
That Ready for the Floor performance was amazing. So tight!
That slide guitar on Boy From School, so tasty!
Love
So Good
Thank You
🙏❤️🔥
Waking up and seeing this made my day! Hot Chip is one of my favorite bands ❤😊
They are so great. I'm a new fan!
Me: "Oh no way, a Hot Chip Tiny Desk! I wonder if they play my favorite song--Oh it's literally the first one!!"
😊❤🎉
gracias a NPR por regalarme el Tiny Desk que no sabía que necesitaba. Gracias a Hot Chip por tanta belleza.
Never heard of Hot Chip before this was released! Now a big fan. I am ready, I am ready for the floor 🕺
I love Hot Chip! I dig the dad rock vibe they exude during this performance. It's so awesome.
i feel like i've been waiting 15 years for this, loved Hot Chip since high school!
One of the best live acts...
Thank you for awesome audio engineer: Neil Tevault
First time I saw them was in Asheville, NC and it was the first time I’d heard them. I smiled all night! I was lucky to see them in Boston twice as well. Great shows!
I looove them!! ❤
This is why I keep listening to Tiny Desks after so many years. How else would I stumble on this gem.
What a jam !
Such a super great band. I've never had so much fun listening to such professional musicians at so many concerts. Actually, concerts are always better than the studio. Because they sound so versatile
Can not stop smiling
I was so ready to hear "I feel better". It was quintessential college for me!😩
YESSSSS! i love hot chip! take me back to high school circa '06!
awesome set! Hearing Boy From School with a pedal steel guitar was really nice. Fun to hear different arrangements with everything. Come to Philadelphia soon.
First thing I did after seeing they did a tiny desk set was see if they would be in Philly any time soon
@@WewtBeer philly hot chip gang rise up ! i'm personally hoping for them to do full album sets in the next few years as their albums hit 20 year anniversaries.
Two of my favourites, together! Thank you.
Can't believe this is the first time I am hearing about these guys. Thanks NPR and Hot Chip!
What a treat. Rediscovering this band is a delight. Have always been a fan.
God, this is so amazing. These guys never fail to make me feel anything than better than I was feeling before I listened to them. @Hotchipofficial I love you.
That pedal steel on "Boy from school." Man😊
The mix is amazing! The Tiny Desk Sound Engineers are truly awesome
It’s just incredible. Vocals and drums in particular. Just perfection
"Look At Where We Are" sounds so gorgous!!
Your my number 1 guy!
Amazing… I love this band so much… this reminds me of the best times… I hope I get to see them live one day. Thank you ❤️🔥
So good!! Thanks for this beautiful moment!!
Goosebumps, love Hot Chip!
Amazing!!
saw these guys at splendour in the grass few years ago. But this was just brilliant. Thank you 😊
Really good set. Very impressed with this.
Great pedal steel playing. Nice singing and arrangements.
Good job 👍
I saw Hot Chip live in some kind of a warehouse concert near Philly probably…20 years ago? Just as epic now as then. I’ve only watched this 4 times so far tonight, singing every part. ❤️
You guys are genuinely excellent!
I adore Hot Chip!!!
Was searching for other Tiny Desk performances this morning, and lo and behold, there they are!!!
I am beyond thrilled! I love these guys.
Yes! Over and over is such a choon!
Thanks NPR- another new DL for me. Got me some Hot Chip on the playlist now! Love the sound.
Great tunes, Hot Chip! I've danced to those a million times in my live. Lovely!
Love these guys. Thank you, Maia
Before the video started, I knew it had to start on Over and Over. This is unreal!
First time I hear them, amazing 💪💪💪 I am a new fan!!
Hot Chip is scattered throughout my playlist. What a treat to find this in my subscription box scrolling through this morning!
That was just delightful. Love Hot Chip!
Loved that everyone is wearing a different color 💖it's amazing how you make the songs sound so softhearted and playful. Beautiful version of Look At Where We Are ❤🩹
My absolute favorite band! 💗
Awesome tiny desk! Thank you!

This is so great!! Hot Chip memories 💖 Great times 🥳🍻
I absolutely LOVE the first tune!!!
I love Hot Chip so much! What a treat!
Oh la la! Excited for this! Mad love from Aotearoa/New Zealand!
How brilliant to see hot chip back to their stripped down lofi roots. The side guitar on boy from school is a perfect addition x
Love me some Hot Chip! Saw a live show back in the day. Was amazing! Glad to see them still jamming.
I cannot get enough of this!!!! Love Hot Chip
Thanks for this!! So much nostalgia with the subtle organic version of their songs. Brings me back to my rebellious and struggling phase and electropop was a big part of my solace. ❤️❤️❤️ You’ll always be in my heart Hot Chip!
I was really not expecting it. Hot Chip always amaze me on any media. Hope i can watch live someday.
They just from another planet ❤
Tiny desk. You did it again. Thanks for bring it Hot Chip
this just rekindled my hope in music, thank you
Something reassuringly 8-bit about their sound ♥🧡💛💚💙💜
Been a fan of Hot Chip for 15+ years now and hope to someday see them live. They’ve made some of my favorite and absolutely weird music videos. Thanks for putting them on!
Brilliant blast from the past❤
They put on an amazing show
The mix is perfection ❤ … the sound engineers are super stars in their own right.
This is unreal. Love it so much.
Loved this so much!
To see them live like this, a dream come true.
Best TDC ever, thank you!
This is so great. Thank you. What a time to be alive!
Over and over was my non stop vibe. Bringing it back 😮😮
I wondered when this would happen! thanks NPR, they always open with over and over!
The reverse-merch story is really cool. I’m sure it’s not often that musicians make NPR staffers feel like rock stars
Nice, never heard this band before and I enjoyed it very much.
This boy from school arrangement is so lovely!!!
I love those guys so much! I still fondly remember their first NYC show at Rothko in the LES 🎉
Perfect guests for the studio!
Great one! Forever waiting on Ween Tiny Desk
Omg! I love them so much!
