Daft Punk Funks Up Berkeley Tonight

Daft Punk, the French faux-bot duo that’s been tweaking knobs and lifting late-night spirits for more than a decade, has recently ventured into the world of film with Electroma. This meditative opus continues the group’s cyborg love affair: The pair plays sentient robots that travel the countryside to an Eno-esque score. Daft Punk’s live show is less Zen than frenetic, psychedelic deep-house action. Helped out by like-minded groups the Rapture, Sebastian, Kavinsky, the East Bay is in store for some fierce sound-wave oscillation when Daft Punk performs on Friday, July 27, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley at 8 p.m. Admission is sold out; visit www.anotherplanetent.com for more info. -- Jonah Flicker
