Chromeo

Ladies, you are DOOMED. Looking at Dave 1 on a computer screen is all good and dandy, but the second you get within 500 feet of his stage presence the charisma just rolls out in delicious waves. The room literally becomes at least 20 degrees warmer, even if you were freezing beforehand, from all the spasming, thrusting, grooving, swaying bodies crushing the first five layers of people in the front and thinning out to an all-out dance party in the back.

You wouldn't know this if you hadn't been there though. I speak from an experience at Showbox almost exactly five months ago, but I bet you your experience exactly one month from now will not stray far from this . . . especially for a girl. For the dudes though, expect to see so many lithe and aroused female bodies to satisfy your fantasies for a week. One of them might actually let you dance with them too.

If this is your idea of a good time, than the Roseland Theater is ready for you. Chromeo is playing an all ages show there February 12 with MNDR and The Suzan, and tickets are already on sale for $25. Early Valentine's Day gift anyone?
