Gerlach, NV – Consumptionblog’s reportation of facts about the State of the Playa and Daft Punk almost certainly playing Burning Man took hold launched like a Burning case of Dengue Fever. Burning Man was forced to respond in an official statement using the veracity challenged social media site Facebook:
Burning Man is not cancelled. Some yahoos say this every year. The rest of these concerns, well, lets just say our reportage says otherwise:
Gerlach, NV (CB) – While you can be certain you’ll be hearing ‘Get Lucky’ and the golden throated voice of Giorgio Morodor all over the playa this year, will the French electronic duo actually perform at Burning Man for the first time since 2002?
Young Daft Punk perform at Opulent Temple in 2002.
The answer is almost certainly a qualified ‘wee’. After having passed on the opportunity to expand their customer base at Burning Man 2011, Consumption Blog believes Daft Punk has been slowly building themselves up to a massive tour and are actively sending out unmistakeable signs Burning Man is their launching pad.
Daft Punk Tackle Monaco
The speed limit is 205 mph right?
Giorgio doing his best Larry Harvey impersonation, perhaps just a bit too happy…
Two Punks and a Sparkle Pony Walk into a bar…
So there you have it fellow Burners and jaded ravers. That’s as close to a ‘yes’ as you are ever going to get from the soundtrack challenged French Electronic Duo of Some Repute. So expect to see Daft Punk performing at Burning Man this year. Perhaps not at one of the large sound camps already overbooked with dub step acts of dubious quality but perhaps wherever you might find a combination of lavender and a wood burning Finnish designed steambath.
Not Playing at Your Burn, Your Burn
Paris, FR (CN) – Fabulously famous French electronic duo Daft Punk have cancelled their planned performance at Burning Man. The duo, comprised of Guy Monte Cristo and Tommy Bangin’ Bass said in their press release:
“We’ve gone to three or four Burns just to hang out, slurp wine in a box, go to the Steambath Project, hang around Center Camp, but we’ve never performed. This year was going to be different. We had a surprise set all lined up at Opulent Temple for Friday night. But we couldn’t get tickets and the new security measures! Forget about it. Taser guns?! No No No. We will play Circus Circus in Reno on Wednesday with Shpongle and Beats Antique instead. They pay better even though the rooms are so-so.”
Burning Man Corp. responded immediately stating, “That’s too bad but Burning Man is for amateurs. We found this douche from Schenectady that’s going to train wreck Daft Punk’s 2006 Coachella set at 7:38 & G on Monday once he’s done enough K. Go and enjoy that instead.”
