Daft Punk are back with an unreleased version of Homework on vinyl

If you've been missing Daft Punk, here's good news for you: the mysterious, most successful duo in electronic music is back in the news with an unexpected stream on the first anniversary of their breakup. A footage streamed on Twitch of a rare concert from 1997, from when Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were still playing bare-faced in a well-known Los Angeles nightclub. If you missed it don't despair, you can still hope to see the two without helmets now that the video is available in full on YouTube.

The French duo seems to love anniversaries, as they've also announced a vinyl reissue of their debut album, Homework, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its release, available April 25. The vinyl LP will also be released digitally, include numerous unreleased remixes and a vinyl reissue of Alive '97. The French duo, who released their last record Random Access Memories in 2013 selling more than 3.5 million copies, had not been seen live since the end of the Alive tour in 2007, save for a few sporadic Grammy appearances (2014 and 2017), a few Bangalter soundtracks and some controversy with Dario Argento.

Certainly last night's is not the first unexpected foray by Daft Punk on the Web, who already last year on Youtube, had broadcast an unreleased and complete footage of the live in 2007 at Grant Park in Chicago during Lollapalooza. The content, uploaded by a user under the pseudonym Johnny Airbag to celebrate Joe Biden's inauguration that same week, featured the caption, "I promised that if covfefe moved, it would be time to celebrate - happy 2021." "Covfefe" ironically stands for Donald Trump, in reference to the former president's mysterious tweet in May 2017. You certainly have to be on the lookout, you never know when and where the most beloved thugs in electronics might strike, because they will surely do it again.
