    Yeah they played at my mates wedding and they rocked it! Replica helmets, suits and all. Music was amazing, not what you'd expect at a wedding ha but the crowd went wild for it.

    I actually seen them later in 2016 in Karma Athlone. We all felt like we had just seen Daft Punk after it! A few drinks were had yes but they we're amazing for a tribute act.

    How does a Daft Punk tribute act work?


    Wear some shiny outfits, stand behind a desk and press play on a cd?


    Sounds like a complete con to me

    Well apparently these lads live DJ & do a laser show & all so sounds decent for a tribute but I'll let you know :)

    Think these might be the guys with the damaged replica helmets. Not my cup of tea but some people are into it.

    I think I would just prefer Daft Punk really, I can't imagine this cover band having a lighting rig quite like Daft Punk had in 2007.

    Yes, I agree. They did a great job and looked the part. Next time they play I'll be going along again.

    I dare say most people prefer the real thing to a tribute band. *stupidhead emoji*
