Hockey + Chiddy Bang *NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE*

Friday 26th February 2010

Oran Mor, Glasgow

Hockey are from Portland, but they sure sound like they're from New York. Well, they sound like a mix of popular New York sounds from the last decade-- like the precise midpoint between the Strokes and LCD Soundsystem. Now, you could of course play "spot the influence" as easily with the Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, but they've both been so great at reshuffling the deck, it's hard to mind when the same card keeps coming up. Hockey, too, are pretty unabashed about whose notes they're cribbing from, but unlike so many self-serious Strokesalikes and party-starting mini-Murphys, on their debut LP, Mind Chaos, Hockey seem to be having a little fun with it, keeping things casual, cracking jokes at their own expense. You'd be surprised how well it works.
