Hey, I’m seeing Daft Punk at Lolla, too!

July 27, 2007 / Captain Capm

Dammit, I had this post all ready to go in my head, when I just looked at the site to see…Davy Medsker reported on the same band! Oh well, I’m seeing Daft Punk as well, and here is their cooler than cool appearance in an old Gap ad with Juliette Lewis (shame about how they chopped up “Digital Love,” though).

Band I’ll be seeing at Lolla — Daft Punk

July 26, 2007 / David Medsker

My experience with electronic acts live is pretty hit and miss. I love the Chemical Brothers, but the live versions of “Out of Control” and “Setting Sun” they played when I saw them in 1999 (Fatboy Slim was the opening act, and he KILLED) made me depressed. Where’s the big drum track? Where’s Noel? Where’s Barney? It just wasn’t right.

I am seriously hoping that is not what Daft Punk is like in concert. They’re closing Lollapalooza on Friday night, and I want these guys to freaking BRING IT. And they damn well better play this song.

Daft Punk — “Aerodynamic”

Bands I’m seeing this year at Lolla – Yo La Tengo

July 24, 2007 / Captain Capm

Yours truly and the illustrious David Medsker will be heading out to Lollapalooza this year to check out some bands and write about what we heard and saw. I’m going to see some cool ones. He’s going to see some cool ones. Some of them we’re going to see together. We already have our little schedules of what we want to see ready to go. One of the bands I’m going to groove to is Yo La Tengo. It’ll be nice to see them. Here’s a video of them playing the catchy “Mr. Tough” live at a radio station.
