Returning London electro geeks Hot Chip have claimed that they could storm onto X Factor – but fear the repercussions.
Hot Chip are now one of the country’s biggest dance acts. Through their careers as DJs the group continually have their fingers on the pulse, blending the latest trends with their inimitable white boy funk.
Releasing ‘Made In The Dark’ in early 2008, the band defined the year with a succession of hit singles. Taking time off to work on new material, Hot Chip are set to return next year with new album ‘One Life Stand’.
Set to be preceded by the single of the same name, Hot Chip are apparently gearing up for tour dates by rehearsing next door to talent show The X Factor. Speaking to fans on Twitter the group revealed:
“X Factor rehearsing in studio next to us. Want to cause mayhem but Cowell did this to the last guy who tried that”.

Of course, Hot Chip wouldn’t be the only dance stars to cause mayhem on the show after Calvin Harris’ memorable unscripted appearance with a pineapple on his head.
In other Hot Chip news, the band have denied that their album has been leaked online. Initially, the group wrote: “a few posts about the album leaking – any news from you guys? Can’t find anything beyond the data harvesting sites… al”.
Before adding: “No leak. Thanks for the infos good people. If anyone’s gonna leak this mothercrusher, it’s gonna be me: V excited about y’all hearing it, al”.
Hot Chip are set to release their new album ‘One Life Stand’ on February 8th.
