Daft Punk - with Helmets !

The Daft Punk
Following my previous post about the daft punk, i decided to go on the version with the two of them wearing helmets, and here it is !

I've added new stories compare to the unmasked version, like the presence of Mr Kavinsky, Gym tonic and Electroma.

Portrait of the Daft Punk available on my etsy store here.




NME : Dafty Punky Trashy

Origin of the name Daft Punk.

It's a british Journalist that gave the idea of the name of the band, as he was trying to explain the music they wer producing as a Dafty, Trashy, Punky music.

They didn't care about that and used the article to found the French Touch duo we all know.


Lycée Carnot


It's a famous college in Paris and they both met here when studying. They decided there to make music they liked as all the shit of the Radios didn't pleased their tastes.






Daft punk's Electroma

Electroma 

 Two robots in the desert of california, driving a Ferrari 412, other robots around and one driving a tractor...
This is the enigmatic movie featuring the daft punk robot looking for humanity.


Around the world

This is the most easy lyrics to memorize : Around the world and loop it 144 times ! The choregraphy is made of people moving with the sounds of the music :
Mummies with the drum, squeletons for the guitar, womens in bathing suits are for the keyboard and athletes ofr the bass.


Digital Love and robots

 Digital Love

this is the song from the Discovery Album, made of digital digits and robot love. There is a little vocoder drawing beside as the daft punk used their voice for the first time in this album. But vocoded voice of course, they are robot after all !




Interstella 5555

Interstella 5555

This is a video made especially for the album Discovery, and it really looks like an Harlock movie.... well it's normal if it looks like as the father of Harlock made it. The perfect pictures for the perfect songs = the perfect match.
And if you look carefully, the drummer of the band really looks like Yattaran !


Portrait of Harlock is also available on my Etsy store here .


Daft punk, "Get Lucky"

Get Lucky

Into get lucky, Take a happy go lucky singer with a big big hat, a guitar player that rocks the world with Freaky Chic Disco riffs and dreadlocks and finally put two robot on the drums and bass.
And add a palmtree of course...





Daft Punk Are Lucky

Grammy Awards.

They came to L.A in 2014, dressed in white suits and white helmets. They didn't say a word, didn't thanks anyone and turn back home with 5 Grammies in their luggages.
they really did a World Hit Album !



Daft punk touch : sampling

Sampling ?

This is their trademark : Looking back in the dusty vinyl collection, get a neverheard song and picking up 2 seconds of a song and pushing the "loop" key. Most of the songs of the Discovery Album are made of samples. They actually don't play that much, more copying and pasting ol songs. We alll do that when writing on computers, well they do that  for the music !

Night Call

 Mr Kavinsky

Who is that guy ? Well this is the story of a man who wouln't have been famous if daft punk weren't.
He is an old friend of them, playing old 80's style songs and with the help of the daft punk did get his soundtrack on the movie "Drive" : Nightcall. And since that day he became famous for his old style synthe songs (P.C.H,  testarrossa).
If you like the drive soundtrack, if you like testarossa and car pursuits, if you like analog sunthe music, you will love kavinsky !

 
The Zorro duo

 Masked Duo

If you want to know their face, you can find pictures but for most of people, they are two robots or masked humans.
They didn't spoke during the grammies, thay didn't remove their helmets, they are the mysterious Robot Duo !
