Listen To This: Better Late Than Never
Filed under: Listen To This
Why has it taken us this long to fall in love with the brilliance that is Chromeo????
If you like Justice or Daft Punk, then these boys will make you cream!
Their music may sound like it's from France, but they actually hail from Montreal and New York. Their sound is a sweet amalgam of influences and eras. And, unlike a lot of electro artists, they're not afraid of using live instruments.
Check out just a taste of what they're all about below. Then you must CLICK HERE to discover the sweetness that is Chromeo!

Montreal has a very good electro scene and artist..Check out Tiga if you haven't already. LOve Chromeo….You should come and see us in Montreal, we'll have a blast.
Chromeo rocks! Glad you finallly found them Perez.
How can you even COMPARE that uninspired mediocrity to the genius that is Daft Punk???
bahahahhahaha
There are only 3 cities that I absolutely love: NY, Montreal and Tokyo
They are the most amazing places you'll ever go to. Montreal is so fun, has an amazing music scene, the mix of french and english and the european vibe to the city makes it a wonderful place… That's why Chromeo and other groups like Omnikrom just rock the shit… I'm going up there next week. You should go too Perez… If you've never been
HOW slow are you??????
Chromeo is awsome, have been listening for years..
Check out needy girl…
Re: hi – THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP. EVERYONE WHO LOVEED HIM SHOULD GO SIGN THIS!!!
I LOVE Chromeo!!!!! I saw them live about 2 years ago in Houston at a concert in a Museum and just that they were awesome….they are amazing live!
That was great. You are really super Perez. And you keep your head on even with all your awesome success. Keep up the excellent work! You deserve all the rewards they throw at you.
you're fucking late perez!!!
chromeo rocks for 2 years …
just listen : needy girl !!
… Oh and the gay village is the biggest after San Fran's… You'd like it up there P Nasty
SWEEEETTT……
I think the USA could learn a think or two about electro pop and music hailing from our neighbor to the north and europe
BEST GROUP EVER
PEREZ….. WAT THE FUK HAVE U BEEN FUKIN SMOKING?????
UMMMM HOW CAN u compare this to daft punk???wat AN IDIOTTTTTTT
PPL THIS IS NOTHING LIKE DAFT PUNK!!!
Old news, they've been around for a while. Perez keep up to date
this is so old…welcome to the club, geez.
I have loved Chromeo for soooooooooooooooo long
Jeez Perez….get with it! These guys are like so 4 years ago…..as if it's taken you that long to get on the Chromeo band wagon! They are awesome….seen them like 3 times here in Ottawa!
Arab/Jewish collaboration …This only makes it cooler!
OMG! Its the guys that did the McNugget song!!!
Chromeo sucks … just derivative bullshit for people too young to have heard it the first time around. Throw on some Gap Band and see how original this nonsense is NOT.
Duh, they've been around.
Wow Perez, you're LATE! These guys are fucking awesome!!!!!
Chromeo is the shit. It's about time people realized who they are and what they offer.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
THIS IS A FUKIN MAD TRACKKK!!!
Umm…yeah, these guys have been making me move for-ev-a! Needy Girl!!!!
Seriously…… why did it take you so long. Chromeo have been rockin' our socks off for fucking years Perez…. YEARS. Also, the last show I saw them at in Halifax was ON FIRE
perez! try 6 years ago!!
I just saw them at the El Rey In LA - they were awesome!
I
That is so funny! I literally found out about them two weeks ago and my friends and I are obsessed. But now that Perez supports them, I give it a day before they're #1 on iTunes downloads!
Yes Chromeo is amazing. Check out their first album. Bonafide Lovin' is a great one too of this second album.
The video for bonafied lovin is cool.
and i will get to c them in the bowery with KID SISTER on monday.. yay !
i have thier album, it's amazing! yay perez thank u for finding them, they are the best to rock out to in the car!! yaya
oh i love chromeo! …i've been listenin to them for awhile
Sorry . The Mexican looking one looks like your typical gross gang member. I won't be listening to anything they put out.
LOVE chromeo. have been listening to them for years, but still have not got sick of them…they are amazing live as well. i wouldn't compare them to daft punk or justice, though, as they are NOTHING alike.
These guys have been around a while now! But thanks for highlighting them Perez, they rock!!
yea i've been a pretty big fan of chromeo there ammmmaaaazzzing j'yeah
I like it… the vocals almost sound like a less absolutely fantastic Praga (Praga Khan)
Loving Chromeo's 'Needy Girl'
Pure tuneage!
I LOVE Chromeo!
BUT YOU POSTED THE WRONG SONG!!
"TENDERONI" BY CHROMEO!!!
"TENDERONI BY CHROMEO!!!
"TENDERONI" BY CHROMEO!!!
"TENDERONI" BY CHROMEO!!!
"TENDERONI" BY CHROMEO!!!
"TENDERONI" BY CHROMEO!!!
They sound retro - from the days of a band called "Men Without Hats" from Montreal.
Re: Gross Beaner – "The Mexican looking one?" Does it hurt to be so stupid? And Chromeo are FANTASTIC! So much fun!
Why not fat sow?????????
Wow Perez, we've been rockin' to Chromeo here in SF for over a year now.
That was pretty whack! Nothing like Daft Punk! Are you deaf, P.?!?
saw these guys back in 2004, absolutely awesome live. Needy Girl is definately a tune
Like DUH!?!?!?
Try: Me & My Man and Needy Girl
xx
I played a show with them a few years ago in SF at the Independent when they were unknown. They r really nice guys and its great to see them succeed. They've hard on this for a while and they deserve it.
Are you kidding, they SUCK!!
Are you kidding, they SUCK!!
you guys obviously haven't been hanging out in urban outfitters…
Chromeo is magic. If you dig them, check out Glass Candy. They are TO DIE for!!! Pure sex and flying cars.
33hz is betta- www.33hz.com
Nice perez!!!! you should post more eletronic …
Love this song!!!! Thanks Perez…
HOW CAN U COMPARE THEM TO DAFT PUNK???!!!!?????!!!!!
chromeo been out for a minute. Perez picked out one of their ok songs. Y'all should list bonafide lovin or gangsta. Chromeo is bringin back the ol school b-boy bangers.
very very late pass
someone needs to help perez catch up on music
weak vocals, borign beats and cheesy lyrics…..totally lame!
I've been digging on chromeo for the last couple of months and its amazing.
PEREZ YOUR SO LATE….They have been on the SCENE FOR YEARS YOU IDIOT!
Yeah - Chromeo ROCKS! Saw them in concert a few months back - can only recommend them - GO SEE THEM!
ridiculous bullshit perez. THEY AINT NO DAFT PUNK.
DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!
DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!

DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!
DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!
DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!
DAFT PUNK - LEGENDS , CHROMEO - NOT!!
Chromeo IS FROM MONTREAL
not new york and montreal…
Ya hurd
I can't believe it either! Chromeo is so awesome and so right up Perez's ally!
you are so late. But at least now they will get the exposure they deserve.
also check out the chromeo remix for feist's "sealion woman"!!!
AND:
mstrkrft, boys noize, uffie/feadz and digitalsim
Cromeo ROCKS! The more I listened to their music the more I loved them. I went out and bought the Fancy Foot Work album and I loved every track!! They are such a breath of fresh air!
Daft Punk they are not. Bad comparison….set the bar to high and they cannot quite reach it!
um, chromeo is old news
check out the entire ed banger record label
I love them!!!!! Thank you for this! Made my night! love you perez! (my girlfriends and i are checking you constantly all the way on the other side of the world while we're studying abroad- you're the best!)
Kinda upsetting you didn't know about them!! They've been the best for quite some time now…..get with the program Perez!
Better late than never… but if you they're sick, you should check Fritz Helder and The Phantoms, a ridiculous band from Toronto.
OMG, How behind the times are you Perez? I have been listening to Chromeo for months……
Indie 103.1 in Los Angeles has been playing this song for months now.. great stuff
WHO THE FUCK ARE THIS PATHETIC CHOLOS??????????????
GO BACK TO MEXICO FUCKING ILLEGALS!!!
Perez you are YEARS behind on this one. Seriously. These cats are cool, they make dance music with Tiga who is a DJ/Producer God to some. You should look more into the underground house scene thats where the real dope music is and I think you and lots of your readers would like it.
"THEIR SOUND IS A SWEET AMALGAM OF INFLUENCES AND ERAS" COULD YOU BE MORE PRECISE OR ARE YOU TIRED ? LOL
going to their show on monday in NYC
Fancy Footwork has been out for a long ass time now. You should put up Booty Luv. They're great too!
perez, i discovered chromeo a couple of years ago and have been trying to get all my friends to listen to them, but they just couldn't understand their brilliance
again perez, while this is rather glorious, tis from months and months ago. keep up! i come here for the NEW. but i am happy you are discovering for yourself such wonderful music. peace.
