Chromeo’s Bio

Synth pop revisionist duo Chromeo formed in Montreal in the early 21st century, a project of Audio Research honchos Dave One and Pee Thug (news flash: not their given names). Dave handled the electronics; Pee was the frequently processed vocalist. From the beginning, Chromeo made it clear that artful detachment, cheesy electro-funk breakdowns, and gleaming plastic beats -- not serious intent or aggressive musical regime change -- were the name of their well-dressed game.

    Crazy Drummer

    For those of you who missed this video, here it is. This could be an SNL skit with Chris Farley (RIP) on drums… I love the name of the band: Rich K and the Allnighters.

    Mr Bean

    Maybe I’m just tired from all this touring and jet lag, but I think this is hilarious! Ha

    Vocodero por favor

    Notice that two of the guys are wearing the exact same thing in both videos. Just great!

    Smoove.

    Very soon. Update: Now.

    Dirty Lowdown

    We didn’t play Lowdown at Bonnaroo, but here’s what it would’ve looked like… Dave had the same outfit tho.

    (Jeff Porcaro is crushing it.)

    Which one of these is more perfect?

    I went on a bit of a rant about Exile on our newly inaugurated Twitter the other day (this article sort of corroborates my point, by the by), only to later embark on a YouTube spiral, reminding myself of how phenomenal the band’s late Mick Taylor-early-Ronnie Wood period was. These guys were the absolute dons of style. Three degrees of perfection right here…

    I don’t think I’m the only one who believes that Waiting On A Friend is one of the greatest videos ever made, right?

    My two favorite songs in the entire universe right now…

    Two completely different styles. This one is pure badass groove. The type of charmingly clumsy rock-guy disco that we tried to pay homage to on Night by Night. Notice that homeboy’s combover-mullet combo is the quintessential business casual haircut: as they say, business in the front, party in the back.

    And now this is simply one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard. I have a strict ban on the word “epic”, but if any track deserves that epithet it’s certainly this one. Check the acoustic breakdown into the string flourishes into the guitar solo into the guitarmonies into the singing coda…I mean, it’s like the history of the universe condensed into 7 minutes. We. Are. Not. Worthy.

    Oh yeah, Kanye “Power” and that Drake/Lil Wayne “Miss Me” are currently in heavy rotation too.

    Funky Japanese

    Check out homegirl at 0:33 with a breath controller on the synth. She’s my cosmic wife.

    Sexy.

    Chromeo: RT @devildeggs: @Chromeo my most hated one is when people call every shit "amazing". The grand canyon is amazing, not your artichoke dip!

  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @AlphaArietis85: @Chromeo Exaggeration has become a bad habit. Colossus of Rhodes was amazing, not Taylor Swift's new single.
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @PatrickKitchens: Epic is the worst. Building the Great Pyramid was epic, not your party.

  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @MISTERMORT: It so demeans whtvr it is... We should work on a song called #EpicSchmepic
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: Yes. RT @AlphaArietis85: @Chromeo Perhaps we should bring back exclamatory phrases from the 1980s.
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @Paul_Labonte: @Chromeo I have a bigger problem with "fail".
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @Mark_Shadbolt: @Chromeo When one displays an extraordinary verbose attitude to life, it appears only to lead inexorably towards success.
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: I know. So intense. Awes. RT @speakincode: That epic new @chromeo track was so sweet live, it almost made me sick?

    Chromeo: Is it pedantic to wish for a little lexical diversity?
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: Amen. RT @Seussninja: @Chromeo I prefer 'tubular', 'radical', or 'excellent' but then again i'm permanently stuck in the 90s
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: Why is everything either "sick", "sweet" or "epic"?
  • Aug 04, 2010
    Chromeo: RT @theKamikane: If yall thought the @Chromeo show in #toronto was crazy, u shoulda been in #montreal last saturday. Fuking #insanity
