Hot Chip is a name synonymous with electronic pop and effortlessly cool aesthetics. Renowned for crating perfectly groovy dance floor fillers since forming in London in 2000, the five-piece band has released numerous studio albums, each more entertaining than the last. Why Make Sense? – the sixth record from Hot Chip – hit airwaves in 2015, bringing with it three hit singles, ‘Huarache Lights’, ‘Need You Now’ and ‘Started Right’. Al Doyle is a multi-instrumentalist who has been writing and performing with Hot Chip since 2003, and has also played with iconic electro outfit LCD Soundsystem and his side project New Build.

Before the magazine launches at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday March 12, we caught up with Bri to talk about how Hot Chicks with Big Brains has grown, what to expect from the publication in the future and Bri’s thoughts on gender equality in Australian society.
