Daft Punks


Daft Punk is the collective name of Paris house musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. The duo is considered one of the most successful electronic music collaborations of all time, both in album sales and in critical acclaim. Daft Punk are noted for their use of visual components associated with their musical productions.

They recently preformed at the 2007 Lollapalooza, where they put on a show to be remembered. Some of this event can be seen here. "But during the French dance-funk duo's 90-minute set -- a particularly throbbing, beat-heavy, rave-tastic, building-to-a-climax part of it -- I closed my eyes and suddenly felt the music wash over me, permeate my brain and take over my body."- Annie Zaleski
