Chromeo, aside from being the first successful collaboration between and Arab and Jew, are an electronic duo who play funky sing-songy 80's tinged dance music. They are certainly tongue-in-cheek and maybe some people would think that their music is too obvious in some way. Like, too much wink-wink going on, but I love it. Chromeo is composed of Dave 1 (older brother of the amazing A-Trak) and P-Thugg and the other week I got to tell Dave just how much I enjoy their tunes.
As Charlotte and I were looking for a place to satisfy our hunger downtown, a tall, lanky dude in glasses walked past us. I says to Maple, I says "that's totally Dave from Chromeo." I did not want to accost him on the street, so I rebuffed Charlotte's suggestion to talk to him. Then he meets up with a fine young lady and walks into the Apple store that is down there. I decided to walk in after him and we quietly approached him as he was checking out some shiny new Apple product.
Charlotte: Are you Dave?
Dave: Yup
Charlotte: From Chromeo?
Dave: Yup.
Charlotte and Alex: Cool! We just saw Chromeo a few weeks ago at Camp Bisco.
Dave: That was the really wet one right?
Us: Yup! Mud up to our knees!
Dave: Yeah, all out equipment was destroyed that night! Save one irreplaceable keyboard, but then the festival paid for everything else.
Us: Great! Well, that sucks, but great that they paid for it! We also just saw your brother (A-Trak) tear down Webster Hall last Friday.
Alex: The Macklovitch family makes some of my favorite music today!
Dave: Awesome! I'm going to tell my dad!
It's cool because I have never made Dave dance and he made me dance many times over, in private and in public.
