Daft Punk's future...

Might have been posted around here before regarding this...

So there's been tons of rumors that Daft Punk will never play in the US after the BANG! Festival in Miami or stop touring altogether...

The Miami Herald interviewed Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and ask him about the rumors....here's how it went...

Herald: I heard that BANG! will be Daft Punk's final live performance?

Guy-Manuel: Where did you hear that? That's a rumor I'm not sure how started. It'll be the last of this year, but not the future.

So there you have it. It's a bullshit rumor!

Actually, I heard that story before Bang festival was announced. I thought Coachella was supposed to be their last show.

yeah i heard that. But according to their interview... next year they planned for more tours (didn't actually state that they would be back in the US though)

Daft Punk coould take the US by storm if they worked it. Can't even count how many kids I saw come back from coachella with two new music idols, when they didn't even know about them prior...

i'm dumbfounded as to why groups like daft punk who can play to america's mainstream don't just commit to a yearlong tour across the states. the united states and california in particular is the biggest and most profitable market in the world in soooo many markets from porsche sales to political fundraising to concerts/entertainment, you name it! you can't tell me the work visa won't pay itself off in the first hour of the first show stateside... airfare is even cheaper here!

Posted by R!CH on Dec-01-2006 02:54:

seriously who's their agent? he's fired...

actually if you haven't noticed...they don't really like the spotlight. A rich person doesn't really need money. I mean most would LOVE to have more money...but they can make that just producing. Actually they have their first remix out right now in years...one of eric prdyz.
