TOUR DENIAL
11 Feb 2009 | from www.daftalive.com
DENIAL. Daft Punk is not playing in Shangri.
The band are not touring this year, and at no point were they approached for this show, and at no point was there ever a possibility that they would do such a show.
The band and those around them were made aware of the scam in the last day or so, and are very upset that there are crooks out there trying to rip off the bands loyal fans.
All daft punk shows are announced on the bands official my space sight, and we urge fans to check the sight before purchasing tkts for shows.
The band's representatives are currently looking into what future action can be taken regarding the fraudsters responsible for the current scam
Daft punk look forward to visiting and performing in china as part of their next world tour, in 2010 or 2011.

im guessing that date's meant to be 2nd Nov 09

just sayin, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:29 (fourteen years ago) link

I think it's from a different ticket scam earlier in the year. These hoaxers have form.

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 13:44 (fourteen years ago) link

Yep, that was in February.

One of the links ^up there identifies this dude as the evil genius behind today's hoax.

If that watering can robot head is growing out of his head then he might well be part of the Daft Punk crew.

No way in hell are Daft Punk playing Yankee Stadium.

Just for shits and giggles:

There's no game that night, but there is the following day which would mean a 0.00001% chance of them being able to pull off a show there.

I've seen Daft Punk in smaller (2,000) and larger (8,000) capacity venues and although they deserve it, there's no way there going to play in a 50,000+ stadium.

The Yankees have moved across the road, though - I understand that the old stadium is being maintained purely for Daft Punk concerts

Ismael Klata, Monday, 2 November 2009 19:11 (fourteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Doesn't mean it's any truer, but the NME are reporting this now.

The bugger in the short sleeves (NickB), Friday, 20 November 2009 14:02 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh come one NME, do you even try to verify the shit you report now. I say it again, no fucking way is Daft Punk playing Yankee fucking Stadium.

Disappointed they left out the gig at that 150,000-capacity stadium in Pyongyang.

Unreleased track from '94, really raw and heavy:

I can't figure out if this is a good thing or not.

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Sunday, 18 September 2011 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

To me, it seems, it is not.

Vision Kreayshawn Newsun (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 18 September 2011 22:38 (twelve years ago) link

v interested in theory, but has Murphy produced much / are his collaborative skills going to bring much with/out of electronic producers, rather than bands recording through amps? There’s the first Juan Maclean album, but that’s probably heavily Goldsworthy, as far as hands-on production goes, I’d guess.

robocop last year was a 'shop (sic), Monday, 19 September 2011 00:21 (twelve years ago) link

I wouldn't assume that, considering Murphy and Maclean go way back pre-DFA and Murphy brought Maclean into the DFA fold.

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Monday, 19 September 2011 00:43 (twelve years ago) link

(Plus, I'm pretty sure I've heard Juan talk about James being fairly hands-on with his stuff.)

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Monday, 19 September 2011 00:44 (twelve years ago) link

maybe he is going to try to do "human after all" but good.

mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Monday, 19 September 2011 01:10 (twelve years ago) link

I know, but Murphy could have been bro-ing out and arranging and suggesting things, while Goldsworthy pushed buttons, is what I was thinking

five months pass...

So I guess, this dude can be added to Jams Murphy and Nile Rodgers on the list of rumored Daft Punk collaboraters

This dude! Paul Williams is more than that, then again I am Mr. Grew Up With the Muppets and all.

daft punk dudes i think are the next kevin shields

the late great, Saturday, 17 March 2012 19:33 (twelve years ago) link

these guys are like 35 now, they already released a statement of feeling sort of over this shit w/ "human after all", and it's hard to imagine what they could do to top the space pyramid shit

the late great, Saturday, 17 March 2012 19:34 (twelve years ago) link

I was all '35?' and then I checked and went uh a bit. Somehow I had it in my head they were always a little older than me!

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 17 March 2012 19:43 (twelve years ago) link

once you build a pyramid, you're p much done-- ask the egyptians or the aztecs

if it makes anybody feel any better, the last time they wrote a good song they were...24?

iatee, Saturday, 17 March 2012 23:33 (twelve years ago) link

35?! They're practically ready for their Rick Rubin moment.

henry s, Sunday, 18 March 2012 01:28 (twelve years ago) link

only a sex tape scandal can make them relevant again

Yeah but it would look something like this:

daft punk/mbv collab would be wicked overhyped, never get past the demo stage, and i'd be all over it.

two months pass...

Disco legend Giorgio Moroder ha revealed that he recorded a “rap” for the new Daft Punk album. During a one-on-one interview at International Music Summit in Ibiza, the producer behind genre-defining songs such as “I Feel Love” and “The Chase” revealed that he recently went into the studio with the French duo.

The robots asked the Munich Machine to go into a vocal booth and speak about his life. In the studio were multiple microphones of various vintages from the ’60s to today. When Moroder asked the engineer why they had so many mics, he replied that the mic they would use would depend on what decade of his life he was speaking about. When Moroder asked if anyone would know the difference, the engineer replied “They will know.”

Just read on the Popjustice forum that there is supposed to be a new single next month called Remona Street.

French magazine 'Tsugi' confirmed the duo will premier the new single July 21st.

I really hope this is true.

because the last 10 years of daft punk have been so amazing?
