Daft Punk to tour in 2010

[NickNels]

Daft Punk have announced that they will hit the road in 2010-2011. No offical dates or countries have been confirmed, but Busy P has claimed the band are back in the studio working on new material with the hope of touring next year.

but according to their website it might not be until 2011...but they will be hitting China on the next world tour! Yes! CHINA!

My friend went to see their show in Berkeley last year - said it was a cheesy garbage.  I know a lot of you loved the last tour but my friend has a superior taste for music and tendency of being right about these things.  

Around the World is one of the gayest songs ever.

I\'ve heard the complete opposite from everyone I\'ve talked to.  "Best show ever" has come up several times.

I know my comment comes off as douchey but wanted to put out the opposing word on what I heard, in stark contrast to what everyone on .info has said.  Guess I would have to hear it for myself.

NickNels, please don\'t tell me you like Around the World.

The left coast is too crunchy granola to wrap its dome piece around Daft Punk.  They would shred your patchwork pants and snuff out your patchouli stink even from the last row

He actually is one of the most reliable music opinions, in my opinion.  I was surprised to hear how .info and the friend could arrive at such opposite conclusions.

different strokes for different folks i guess.

I saw them at Lollapalooza and it blew away most everything else i saw that year.  \'07.  maybe it was just the atmosphere, but 50,000+ people getting down to two robots in a pyramid is pretty fun if you ask me.

same here.

also, i love \'around the world,\' \'one more time,\' \'harder better faster stronger,\' \'da funk,\'...in fact, i don\'t know if there\'s a daft punk song i don\'t like. must be because i have robot ears

Yeah I guess that\'s what I don\'t really like about \'em too.. too dyslexic to figure out which coast I\'m on though

[Igziabeher]

its nice to have robot ears.  face to face was/is my favorite, but still got love for One More Time and the likes.

OMT and ATW may be cheesey, but if that cheeseyness is what affords them to travel the world playing to 100,000 people at a time with the most advanced stage/lighting set up out there, then more power to them.  why overanalyze a good time?

[skalnbyc]

OMT/ATW are some of the most pathetic songs.  You guys really get down to that garbage?

[bdfreetuna]

You\'re not alone in your amazement mr zurflu.

I love these guys (Nick and Zuke are two of my favorite robots IRL... as for Igzy lol... gotta admit I\'m a little suprised ) but I missed out on the government robot ear installation experiments. Then again I may be biased from hearing my little brother play One More Time on repeat while gherkin the pickle all night long to MMORPGs or whatever the fuck kinds of online games steal all household bandwidth and take weeks to play. I drowned that shit out with some Island Tour back in the day.

Love me some STS9 / Shpongle but Daft Punk is like the Kraft of cheese factories

[siflandollie]

Daft Punk is great.  Genius withoutadoubt.  I put those two robots up there with Zappa as far as musical prowess/understanding/ability to follow through on musical concepts.  I guess its not for everybody, but they definitely have complete control of their sound at all times.  STS9 wishes they were Daft Punk, especially with all the Live PA stuff they have been up to.  And they are definitely more adventurous and fearless with their live show than shpongle, who are also great don\'t get me wrong, but Daft Punk fucks with all of their samples continuously  during their sets.  And they make it sound so easy that even people with "superior taste for music" don\'t get it!  brilliant!


Oh and having a "reliable opinion" does not make sense.  you can have "reliable information" about facts, but an opinion is not a fact.
