In reference to the Hot Chip/Growing show at the 9:30 Club, Wednesday, Oct 8...I caught Growing at the Talking Head last night, my third time seeing them and their set absolutely blew me away. They seem to have moved to a more danceable noise format (like Black Dice) which suits them very well. Wish I could make tonight's show...
