Am going to see Air in concert tonight in Montreal. This is one of my favorite songs, wonderful trippy video.
Air is a French music duo, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. The name Air is an backronym for Amour, Imagination, Rêve which translates to Love, Imagination, Dream.
Air's debut EP, Premiers Symptômes, was followed by the critically acclaimed album Moon Safari, the re-release of Premiers Symptômes, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10 000 Hz Legend, Everybody Hertz, Talkie Walkie and Pocket Symphony.
Their most recent album, Pocket Symphony, was released on March 5, 2007. The album features former Pulp vocalist Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, and is produced by Nigel Godrich. Air went on a European tour in March, followed by a North America tour that included an infamous Coachella appearance, where the band showed up 45 minutes late for their 50 minute set. They will play at major festivals both in Europe and Japan during the summer and then continue touring for the rest of 2007.

grubertsays...From the Coachella forum :
1. The reason we were so late going on stage was that the American crew fucked up big time backstage - there was a spaghetti junction of leads, and no-one knew what was wrong. Half the lines were down, including some crucial stuff like bass, SH-101, JB's keyboards etc. We couldn't start to play until these things were fixed... and it was heartbreakingly frustrating to be kept waiting and waiting.
2. Because of the above problems, there were stacks of problems with the mix.
3. They were enforcing the set times, so the set was cut really really short - we had four more songs on the list.

yoghurtLove the animation on this one.
Farhad2000They played in Montreal and it was amazing, 3 song encore. Don't be light live was just incredible.
There were still problems with the customs as very little merchandise was available.

dystopianfuturetodayIssy and I saw Air a few years back at the Hollywood Bowl, and it was probably the dullest show we've seen in our lives. At least the opening act, Stereolab, put on a nice show.
Cool tune tho...
