What's up with Daft Punk?

The live album, that they released.

they didn't release a live album in 09, or did they ?

Nah, turns out it's from 07. But turns out, they've released the livealbums Alive 1997 and Alive 2007, so...

have they toured RAM at all?

no tour.
a tour with all the guests from RAM would be something ! (impossible)
still the momentum is quite gone, by now, 3y after the release of RAM.
that said, 2007 was 2y after HAA, so who knows...

a Daft tour is its own thing, builds its own momentum. They don't need to tour behind an album

What did they release in 2009?

Didn't they plan for an album for 2009, but scrapped it because they didn't like the direction it was heading, and also got busy with the Tron soundtrack work? Or maybe I'm totally making things up in my head.

Anyways, Daft Punk is the type of group whose fan base totally likes to make things up and generate fake hype, so it's not surprising that there is an Alive 2017 teaser.

Yeah, a DP tour this year would be absolutely huge, even four years on from the last album and regardless of whether or not there's a new record

xp

not very funny and mostly sad to read my obnoxious pro daft punk ranting of 12 years ago

daft punk are so awful now and represent so much awful culture now in my mind, it's hard to believe

sorry to be all "old man yells at clouds.jpg" but there you go

still, i think i will always have time for solo bangalter and crydamoure productions of the 90s

Homework is 20 years old today

warm up for the tour ?

weekend collabo is awful. wish they werent performing it too.

I like "Feel It Coming". one of the few things I like from the Weeknd, actually !

i feel it coming is my 4 y/o's favorite song right now

the official or mint-condition unofficial instrumental of "I Feel It Coming" is worth a listen: https://dbr.ee/8LRt

Nice!

ahh, that's great. much better than the vocal version.

Laserdisc?

The Wave Of The Future!

Seem to recall a couple of months ago Has It Leaked? claimed they were in the studio so possibly legit

I hope there is a spoken word track with Ralf from Kraftwerk talking about the history of the band over a minimalist drum machine pulse.

Vangelis, By...Vangelis

i'd like one from rowlf, the muppet piano dog.

French press says fake

Wow, all mine does is make coffee, never seen one that talks!

Here's hoping they use a drum machine and/or sampler for percussion again.

Yeah, Boombass from Cassius has denied any knowledge xps

I guess around the time of RAM, I noticed that those guys have never used a female vocalist. Have I missed that they in fact did? Is it not unusual that scholarly fellows such as they have avoided doing so?

The only female vocals they've ever used are on 'Ouverture', from Daft Club, iirc. That's Élodie Bouchez, Thomas Bangalter's wife. And yes, it's very unusual.

Looks like they’ve officially disbanded?

Ha, yes, I bumped the more recently active thread, but I saw that.

My wife says ppl online are freaking out b/c the group just updated their homepage. Anyone heard anything?

surely it's an NFT thing

They're playing at my house.

Da Funkgible Token Punk

They're playing at my house.

Alternatively, they're going to show up for LCD Soundsystem's SNL performance this weekend.

Kinda fun! Wish I'd gone to the show but I remember the era there.

this is pretty cool

whats the venue?

The Mayan in LA

Also reissuing Homework on vinyl, apparently.

Been a fun set. Just listening mostly but it's a true snapshot of time and place.

video download since Youtube rips are being taken down:

Saw them around that time. They were fun but not too different from very good contemporary Chicago or NYC dj’s playing in the House world. It’s just that …” pssst … these are two really young French dudes!” made it special.

The first album, remixes, offshoot labels and “Discovery” were and are still godhead to me, though.

xxpost -- thanks for that!

yeah, thanks

Thomas Bangalter, one half of legendary duo Daft Punk, is releasing a new solo album.

Out on April 7th via Erato/Warner Classics, Mythologies was commissioned by choreographer Angelin Preljocaj for the ballet of the same name, which was premiered last year by the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine.
