Metromix your Daft Punk fix
I was impatiently waiting for the light to change at the intersection of Arlington and Washington in the much-ballyhooed “Mid-City” section of Los Angeles when I noticed this quite serendipitous juxtaposition of posters. Metromix, meet Daft Punk. Daft Punk, Metromix:
I couldn’t have positioned them better myself. Well, unless they were combined into one super-poster announcing the Metromix-sponsored Daft Punk tour of the world with special guest DJ, um, Me. That would have been better. But I’m pretty cool with what we’re working with here.
It was also a gentle reminder for the 16,000 or so Los Angelenos that had their brains melted by Daft Punk when they played the Sports Arena this summer (aka “The Greatest Show on Earth”) and those unfortunate souls that missed it: Daft Punk is playing in our time zone yet again! That’s right, disco robots. Daft Punk will be lighting up the party pyramid “One More Time” on Saturday, Oct. 27 in the desert confines of the Vegoose music festival. And as much as we denizens of L.A. like to road-trip over to Vegas to get our freak on, cruising into Nevada to bear witness to the last North American close encounter of the Daft Punk kind this year is a no-brainer.
What, you want something closer to home? Then make sure to put on your dancing shoes and skip your skinny ass up to the Roxy for the Fool’s Gold tour, featuring underground party favorites like DJ A-Trak, DJ Mehdi and Kid Sister turning up the neon for your disco pleasures. See you on the dance floor.
