11Aug2010 – Chromeo at Commodore Ballroom (I forgot my camera so you’ll have to get a taste via the Momma’s Boy video instead)
One word! Awesome! Such a fun show. I’d heard of and listened to Montreal based Chromeo a bit before and like their blend of retro style dance-pop so thought I’d take the opportunity to see them live. Boy, was I happy I did! My friend Grady and I ended up knowing a bunch of other people there and as soon as I tweeted that I was at the show…a few other friends started replying how much they liked Chromeo and wanted to be there…I had no idea they were so big (I’m not usually this clueless).
We got there in time to catch the opening set by Holy Ghost , also a good act but cursed by not having as good a sound set up as the headliners.
Once Chromeo took the stage to audience chants of Cho-ME-oh-WHOA-oh! It was a fun, bouncing, dancing, entertaining solid hour+ show. I can’t imagine anyone not having a good time. For one of our other friends this was his fourth time seeing them…I can see why. I will definitely be back and suggest you do the same!
