NikeWomen.com Featured Artist: Chromeo

Not many groups mix together the sounds of a synthesizer, keyboard and a talk box. But Chromeo is able to use all of these instruments to create their highly unique and innovative sound. When I hear their music, I immediately think of the eighties. Their catchy beats and even more addictive choruses make it hard not to dance.

Dave 1 and P-Thugg are the duo that make up Chromeo. They hail from Canada and have been best friends since childhood. I met up with them at SXSW after they had just performed in front of a packed house. Their fans were so amazing and almost all of them were singing right along with the band. I had never been to one of their performances before, so I snuck all the way to the front row to snap some pictures!

My favorite Chromeo song is definitely “Fancy Footwork." As soon as I heard it I put it on my ipod! I also like the song “Needy Girl" and Chromeo said that it is usually a crowd favorite. If you haven't heard their songs, you need to check them out. I guarantee you will become a fan!
