It goes without saying that MeVs are loyal drinkers of whatever brand of Kool-Aid Chromeo sells. Fortunately for us, their juice flows in the form of hip-thrust inducing harmony and unadulterated love. So naturally, when we heard the duo would be in Austin, we showed up. In Dallas, we showed up. And we danced.
There seems to be an agreed notion that a dichotomy exists between Dallas and other concert attendees. Apparently, Dallas doesn’t dance. Or as The Rapture aptly puts it, “People don’t dance no more, they just stand there like this, they cross their arms and stare you down and drink and moan and diss.”
MeVs would put an end to this canard.
Chromeo made it extremely easy. The crowd pushed towards the stage in anticipation, beer spilled on the ground, sweaty bodies collided, and everyone chanted repeatedly and in unison, “Chromeooo ohhh ohhh!” A sharp-looking Dave 1 and P-Thugg made their entrance on stage and rocked our socks and panties off. “Fancy Footwork” infectiously had the crowd moving their feet in tandem. “100%” probably made a few women (and men) lose their clothes. “Night by Night” from their upcoming album, Business Casual, had us wishing we were getting some one-on-one dance lessons with Dave. Some guys even brought glow sticks and danced their hearts out in the back.
There is no mistake the pair has been friends for ages. The chemistry in their performance and stage presence made us feel all the closer to them. Dave 1′s voice was as sexy as P-Thugg’s talkbox mastery.
So there you have it, needy girls and bonafied lovers, Dallas knows how to have fun. But it’s Chromeo. They could probably make your grandma bust a move.
