Thomas and Guy-Man set the world on fire with Daft Punk's debut record, Homework. But they also gained a reputation as one of the best live dance acts on the planet in the 1990s, well before their legendary Coachella performance. This week, we visit the boys' live performances around the release of Homework, from their blistering DJ sets at raves in warehouses and old roller rinks to their sold-out live sets, with their full setup.

Thomas and Guy-Man from Daft Punk became best friends when they were children, bonding over sci-fi and horror films. They always knew they wanted to explore movie-making — and they used the success of their debut album, Homework, to hire some of the best music video directors of the 1990s, so they could learn the tricks of the trade! Join us on a deep dive of their first DVD: D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes!

In this episode, we cover how Thomas and Guy-Man met as kids in Paris, bonding over campy movies and disco records. We talk about their earliest forays into music and their discovery of the French rave scene, which led them to making dance music in Thomas' childhood bedroom.

Welcome to ALIVE 2021: A Daft Punk Podcast!

Each week, three best friends from Detroit, Michigan will discuss the best band in the world: DAFT PUNK!

Daft Punk is the most influential music group of the last quarter century. Two crate-diving music nerds melded disco, funk, glam pop and rock into a dizzying array of driving French Touch house music with sleek robot imagery and a unique vocoder sound, and changed the course of the music industry forever. Please follow us on this journey, as we delve into the history of Daft Punk, from their earliest days as best friends in eighth grade to their chart-topping fame as the world's most important and secretive dance music megagroup. Each week, we'll shift through biographies, old interviews and documentaries to research a specific era of Daft Punk's history. ALIVE 2021 is part history, part music review and all essential for any hardcore Daft Punk fan!

EPISODE ONE will covering the duo's history pre-Homework. It will drop Friday, March 12th. A new episode will be out every week after that. Stay tuned for more Daft Punk fun!
