Crowd-Surfing in Heels!?!
What current touring act passed through Toronto last Saturday night and caused such a scene....(yes, she's wearing heels!)Foo Fighters? Ladyhawk? Chromeo? or Sebastien Grainger?"CHROM-E-O, OH, OH...CHROM-E-O, OH, OH"
Those were the words reverberating throughout the Opera House last Saturday night.
For the 800+ 1980's born hipsters in attendance, the wave of Montreal's Chromeo has surely caught on since last summer's sold out, over-flowing show at the tiny Social on Queen West. Tonight they headed East, Queen East.

The American Apparel-clad crowd sang-a-long to every song Chromeo shot their way, all the while dancing up a storm. From "Bonafide Lovin'" to "Tenderoni", to my personal favourite, "Two Step"Chromeo's Arab/Jewish collaboration of P-Thugg and Mike 1 had the crowd eating of their hands. And just as the crowd was loving it, so were the duo, easily having a great time on stage.Having two albums to play with, Chromeo kept their set disappointingly short; a mere 50 minutes (including two easy encores). However, judging by the crowd and the constant cheers, all that was given, was appreciated, and everyone left with a familar vibe flowing through their veins...
Welcome back to the 1980's
