LCD Soundsystem w/ Hot Chip

Voicing frustration with the traditional cycle of recording and then touring behind an album, LCD Soundsystem leader James Murphy has suggested that the band’s latest full-length, This Is Happening, will be its last. He’ll still make music, he told the British music magazine The Quietus this summer, but explains, “I just need to get away from it being a big thing.” If Murphy is daunted by the expectations for each LCD Soundsystem album, though, the dance-rock visionary has only himself to blame. The latest arrived with a title that all but promised a big event, and more than delivered the goods. The British electro-pop ensemble Hot Chip opens, touring behind their latest album, One Life Stand.
