![Check Out Hot Chip Live on MySpace Tonight [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/03c4UPyYDIWSHjFk57hDrcS/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018379.jpg)
The physical show, which is taking place at New York City's Highline Ballroom, is in celebration of the band's fourth album, One Life Stand, a thoroughly fun disc in the tradition of Brit pop oddballs XTC and Magnetic Fields-esque whimsy. The album is getting some pretty flatline reviews, it seems, with NME saying dejectedly: "Waiting for Hot Chip to make that classic album is a bit like waiting for an alcoholic parent to arrive at your birthday party. There’s a kind of unconditional love that’ll keep you hoping every time one comes around, but there may be a point where you have to accept that it’s just never going to happen."
Haters aside, if you're down for some tunes with an interactive twist (and you really don't want to change out of your sweats), you can always tune into this stream (embedded below) and have a dance party all by your lonesome.

Livestreams of music and entertainment events are becoming more and more ubiquitous as of late, with YouTube streaming U2's concert and San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, and MySpace's own record-breaking livestream of the Twilight New Moon Red Carpet Premiere (which brought in 3 million viewers). MySpace will also be streaming Disney’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland fan event on February 19, which will feature cast appearances, performances by soundtrack artists and a sneak peek at film footage.
The social networking site has been hip to livestreams since early 2008, when it streamed Operation MySpace live from Kuwait. Still, although the site has been launching streams fairly regularly since mid-2009, tonight's show marks the first time MySpace has streamed a Secret Show live in more than one territory ( U.S. and UK). Secret Shows usually take place in smaller venues and have a limited audience (tonight's show is invite-only and first come, first served), so the livestream allows for fans who would otherwise be unable to catch the gig to enjoy the show as well.
