Daft Punk, pictured without their iconic robot helmets. Behind the masks are two lifelong friends from Paris — Thomas Hangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who met in high school and first played together in a rock band called “Darlin”

I have never seen two such opposite face shapes side by side
my 13 year old wants to be them for Halloween (with a friend) and so far has done zero work to make a costume, let alone a good one, happen. Curious to see how this plays out for him.
I’ve been aware of them for 27ish years, never knew what they looked like……
France kind of dominated with electronic music duos in the aughts. Daft Punk, Air, Justice . . .
They’re actually just two french guys who love disco
Oh good god put the masks back on! 🙃
Aww, they are cute.
The one on the right looks extremely British somehow
thomas bangalter*
Ohhh come back plzzzzzz!!!!!
Bangalter, not Hangalter.
Bangalter was also one third of Stardust, one hit wonders with “Music Sounds Better With You’
The shorter one looks a little like Harry Styles in the pics with the long hair. I’m also seeing a bit of Emma Stone in there. Am I crazy?
I like that their helmets are shaped like their faces
This feels like forbidden knowledge
And they are friends with and have a connection to my favorite band, Phoenix! (Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz was in Darlin’, and Phoenix took their name from the track of the same name from Daft Punk’s Homework!)
On number 14, the person in the bottom right is EATTING that camera. snatched. sculpted. it’s giving 90’s Leonardo DiCaprio about to meet Claire Danes at a party.
Hm, i dont like it. A part of my brain is very adamant i should’ve never seen this, that this is knowledge i was never meant to acquire.
Still feel dirty when I think of that pic of them drinking champagne at coachella
