Wilco Cover Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' at Solid Sound Festival


Would you like to see Wilco's Jeff Tweedy take on the vocal duties Pharrell Williams handles on Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"? Tweedy did just that on Friday night, as Wilco covered Daft Punk's song to what appeared to be an enthusiastic reception. Wilco played the tune as part of its set at its own Solid Sound Festival at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.


Other covers played by the Chicago rock band during the evening included Velvet Underground's "Who Loves the Sun," Pavement's "Cut Your Hair," Cheap Trick's "Surrender," and many others, according to Gothamist's video compilation.

Judging by the amateur video above posted to YouTube, plenty of concertgoers were singing along to the Wilco version of the "Random Access Memories" track.

Daft Punk x Red Bull Random #RedBull Memories


Daft Punk continues to make its presence known after the release of its long awaited Random Access Memories album. Red Bull took full advantage and tapped the creative source to help celebrate the closing of the Red Bull Music Academy in New York City.

The energy drink company used the group’s album art cover as inspiration for their racing team’s helmet design. The design is very similar to the diptych design like the one used on the album. This design sparked a lot of speculation as to what Red Bull’s future plans are with the band. Since Red Bull does co-own the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing F-1 team and Daft Punk was recently spotted with Lotus F1 Racing Team last week at Monaco’s Grand Prix, there’s a lot to try and figure out. Check out he helmet design below and imagine that with a matching car and driving suit. Pretty dope!
