Capitol Hill Block Party: Chromeo

Sometimes I feel like my subsconscious created Chromeo, mostly because I can't imagine them being as perfectly suited to anyone else's tastes as they are to mine. I mean, are there really thousands of people clamoring for a band who takes '80s/'90s R&B and updates it with gangsta steez? Does the general population need a crew who shows equal respect to the Whispers, Bobby Brown, and Jodeci? Judging by the number of folks hollering along and losing their minds, the answer appears to be yes, and that freaks me out. Belltown bros high-fived and hipsters tested the integrity of their skinny jeans by recklessly shaking ass. Chromeo is for the people, man. That was the most fun I've ever had at a show in Seattle and I don't think I'm alone.
