Are you ready for a Drum Buddy solo?

Mr. Quintron

There are lots of folks out there who claim to be musical innovators.  A bunch that have even created their own genre of music.  Sure, the New Orleans based duo Quintron and Miss Pussycat play their own unique brand of beats they’ve dubbed “Swamp Tech”.  But they’ve taken it two steps further.  First there is Miss Pussycat’s puppet show.  Not far enough?  No problem.  Mr. Quintron is also the inventor of his own instrument called a drum buddy.  It’s one thing to be weird, but it’s another thing entirely to be so good at it.  Their stuff is top notch.  Best of all, they are currently on tour.  Don’t miss the mayhem.

Electroma 

 

Here it is folks.  The trailer for Daft Punk’s Electroma.  Directed by our friends Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.  I am told that the movie has no dialogue.  The soundtrack is comprised of music from Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, Curtis Mayfield, Linda Perhacs, Jackson, Carey Frank, Sebastien Tellier, and Mathieu Tonetti.  No Daft Punk music.  Its basically a road movie of sorts as the Daft robots are on a quest to become human.

Could be interesting or it could be a flop.  As a Daft Punk fan, I will check it out.

In the meantime, check out the trailer…
