Daft Punk
Daft
Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de
Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3,
1975). Daft Punk reached significant popularity in the late 1990s house
movement in France and met with continued success in the years following,
combining elements of house with synthpop. The duo is also credited with
producing songs that are considered essential in the French house scene. They
were managed from 1996 to 2008 by Pedro Winter (Busy P), the head of Ed Banger
Records. Early in the group's career, the band members were strongly influenced
by groups such as The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Bangalter and de
Homem-Christo were originally in a band called Darlin', which disbanded after a
short period of time, leaving the two to experiment musically on their own.
The
duo became Daft Punk, and released their critically acclaimed debut album
Homework in 1997. The 2001 release Discovery was even more successful, driven
by the club singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and
"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". In March 2005, the duo released
the album Human After All to mixed reviews. However, the singles "Robot
Rock" and "Technologic" achieved success in the United Kingdom.
Daft Punk toured throughout 2006 and 2007 and released the live album Alive
2007, which won a Grammy award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. The duo
composed the score of the film Tron: Legacy and in 2010 released the soundtrack
album of the film. Daft Punk are noted for their elaborate live shows, in which
visual elements and effects are incorporated with the music. The group is also
known for its emphasis on visual and story components associated with their
musical productions, as well as for wearing disguises, most notably, ornate
robot costumes in public and while performing.
