The Day-Glo dance duo of Dave 1 and P-Thugg, Montreal natives both, dished out their irresistibly sproingy Québectronica for a delighted crowd – who regularly filled the gaps between songs by chanting, Wizard of Oz style, “Chro-ME-o, OHHH, oh!” Guitarist Dave 1 (who also happens to teach French at Columbia University, where he’s a Ph.D candidate in French lit) and keyboardist P-Thugg (whose pair of synths were whimsically perched on a pair of sexy artificial legs in red stiletto heels) announced they’d been best friends since high school. And Chromeo displayed an evident musical rapport as they kicked through a series of sunshiny synth-pop tunes, including “Bonafied Lovin’,” “Mama’s Boy,” “Fancy Footwork” (the title track of Chromeo’s most recent album), and the duo’s personal favorite, “100%” – which also happens to be the amount of satisfied customers Chromeo sent on their way at the close of their sheerly delectable set. -- MOIRA McCORMICK
