Competition: WIN tickets to Hot Chip Afterparty at Soup Kitchen

Stevie Mackenzie-Smith

Enter our competition to win a pair of tickets to Hot Chip’s post-gig party at Soup Kitchen on 13 May.

“They don’t make pop music like they used to,” said no Hot Chip fan ever. If you find yourself privy to such a sentiment, please be sure to hand the poor fellow a copy of the band’s 2006 album The Warning, which received a Mercury Music Prize nomination and emblazoned the image of a monkey with a miniature cymbal onto the minds of disco lovers forever and ever (Amen).

Now, the Masters of Pop and craftsmen of dancefloor-fillers themselves are heading to Soup Kitchen for a big, post-gig set in May. Their gig at Gorilla may be sold out, but we’re giving away a pair of tickets to what is sure to be a good-old fashioned knees up in the lovably scuzzy Soup Kitchen basement on Wednesday 13 May.

To enter, all you have to do is enter your details in the form below to be in with the chance of winning a pair of tickets to the Hot Chip Afterparty at Soup Kitchen on Wednesday 13 May. The competition closes at 10am on Thursday 16 April – good luck!
