Waiting for the the door to open, no idea about meeting the Robots
We told him they dont normally sign autographs, but bring something "just in case"
These guys went above and beyond, and I cant thank them enough!
One happy guy
This is the picture he picked he wanted signed. We printed it on card stock and are framing it with the tickets for his wall.
Always remember ear protection!!

Meeting Daft Punk AND not forgetting ear protection? Reddit OP is currently winning fatherhood.
cybercat5555
That's not the real Daft Punk. The height is off and the lack of gloves give it away.
littlecitybot
....also the fact that OP said they are a tribute act.
Ewokwithastickgif
This is not daft punk.
resipsaloquitor
This is just a tribute.
mccormick
Tribute bands really should only exist after the real band is over. otherwise they are just copying other people for profit.
ShenaniganNinja
Or when the actual band hasn't toured in almost a decade...
Agrilledcheese
IS THIS THE FUCKING GRANADA?

I was thinking the same thing!! HEEECK YES!!

This is at The Granada in Lawrence, Kansas. I live here! Cool. I recognized it immediately.

I've seen them twice in StL, would like to meet them. They're coming back Nov 15.
forScienceANDHistory
looks like i'll be seeing you at 2720, again ;)
Imza
But I don't know who you arrrrreeee
OddlyCantEven
Also how you shoot pictures. Somebody knows how to take pictures in various lighting conditions, as well!
sonicblis
Wow, that's a really good point. Dang, now I'm way more impressed.
Imza
No dude, their setup just looks THAT GOOD. I took several pictures on my smart phone that turned out just as nice looking.
OddlyCantEven
Looks like the band did do an excellent job with their show.Would love to see it. Was commenting on all of the pics, which are equally nice.
DeskPopGator
Was at a skrillex concert in portland ME in July and a guy had his kid there, maybe a little older than this kid, and at the end 1/2
DeskPopGator
Skrillex ended up letting this kid up on stage and talking to him and everything. It's great when artists go out of their way for fans
MutterVonKatzen
kid fans especially. :)
OnlyHalfasInteresting
this is not the greatest parent in the world, this is just a tribute.
Awwwwcute
You're fun.
OnlyHalfasInteresting
Fun I am indeed.

Plot twist-was actually daft punk
forScienceANDHistory
I've actually met the two who are the tribute artists while they were in STL. Genuinely nice dudes. One white, one half asian ftr.
dranago
And they just say they are a tribute band to be able to play smaller venues for the people who can't afford to come to their big shows.
ScankHunt
I saw Daft at Coachella in 06. That whole setup looks damn close as the real thing.. wouldn't surprise me if they actually did do that.
cutteroo
took the words right outta my mouth!
TooLazyToRepost
I saw you guys at the Granada! Little guy looked like he was having a blast.

I was the dorky guy with the light stick. Glad you all had fun!

Does a daft punk tribute act basically just have the helmets and use a tool to blend various tracks of daft punk straight from CD?

I've actually seen these guys live, they're awesome. They take the original DP tracks and remix them as well as add original parts to them.
AceOFace131
Basically, they do what Daft Punk did for the "Alive 2007" tour. It's awesome
Aramahn
Replica helmets: Check. Entire DP library on iPod shuffle: Check. Super lit up stage display: Check. Now press play, Bob heads and move arms
madcore
I read this in the voice from the announcer of Blue Man Group
Imza
Not understanding DJing: check
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Yeah I'm actually really curious as to how that can legally even be a thing. Especially considering the nature of the band.
Weikkonen
It is most definitely legal, they must have the permission of the band. They are probably DJ'ing Daft Punk songs if I had to guess.
LittleOrphanAnnihilation
No wedding ring... What's up OP ;)

He's definitely married. That's his wife in one of the last pics. And she is who took most of these. She's a photographer =]

Wow he Got Lucky. I would upvote it One More Time. What a Technologic concert. I bet he Lost Himself To Dance. I'd have an Instant Crush 1/2

Fallen into Digital Love. Our love would be so Aerodynamic. We'd travel Around The World, growing Harder, Better, Faster, and STRONGER 2/3

Dammit Richard we talked about this.
SwedishRationalist
Wait... "a daft punk TRIBUTE".. So those weren't the real Daft Punk?
cydewonder
Its a cover band...for a duo of DJs? wtf
tyrannoSARAusrex
He's 5. It's like meeting the real Mickey Mouse at Disney. He just cares about the robots.
youvegotredonyou
Yep, I met "Britney Spears" at a fair and it rocked my world, though I kind of knew something was up.
SwedishRationalist
I get that, I'm just wondering.
kragor85
I like to believe that Daft Punk does their own tribute bands too. You know... relive those more intimate shows from their earlier years.
judzBandit
You do think the same as I do. Most of people don't get it ;)
tarataqa
plot twist: they WERE the real Daft Punk
brrrackobama
Daft Punk is like the Dread Pirate Roberts. It doesn't matter who's behind the mask.
TheCanadianNerd
I think they weren't supposed to be, but they were when he reached out? Idk I'm confused and it's late
AliasPeterJones
It is a cover band: http://news.beatport.com/blog/2013/10/25/guys-there-is-a-daft-punk-tribute-band-and-theyre-called-one-more-time/

Do we ever know if they're the real daft punk though?

AhmedTheClockMaker
Hey you keep that dream killing spirit to a minimum sir, he got to meet the robots and get a decent view. Much harder at the real thing.
theothermeisdead
I wonder when they will tell him
cybercat5555
No, you can tell by the height and lack of gloves. Plus the real DP is much more secretive.
Othuro
Next thing you know about this kid, is he going to Pawn Stars, trying to sell that autograph his dad helped him to get and shit..
TangoBravo84
For a tribute band their light shows look amazing
JayBaruchelFanClub
The real Daft Punk would never wear those shoes.
Silencor
Why?
JayBaruchelFanClub
Because DP are really fancy guys and that every couture house would kill to lend them shoes for a show and those guys wear crappy ones ?
Silencor
Guy on the left is wearing lace up ankle dress boots though
JayBaruchelFanClub
It is not much about the type of shoe, it is about the quality. And you can see those are cheap. (btw their whole outfit is :/ )
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Nope not the real guys (if you couldn't already tell by the non light up masks and lack of gloves). Did they just make up signatures?
rebeck10
They're still people, they have names, too!

Wait wasn't that the kids name?
cybercat5555
Actually, their helmets don't currently light up. They only has lights during Discovery and Discovery- Human After All eras.
DeadGirlSuperstar
What if one day, when little guy is like 40, he wants to sell the signed print and his old dad has to be like.... well son... I have
Kaysmira
He'll probably go to school and tell everyone he say Daft Punk, and tell everyone for years he got the autographs. One day he will find out.
DeadGirlSuperstar
Something to tell you. It was a tribute band. And hangs his head in shame. lol
shrivelledjohnson
Today on pawn stars...
TheFlyingSheep
That's the beauty of the mask. It's about the music to daft punk, not themselves. Thus anyone could be Daft Punk
Pencillin
we're all Daft Punk
flubberfucker
Except the masks are more commercialized than any human face could be.
Bacxaber
A decent Daft Punk mask can cost several thousand dollars.

I wonder if they make up draft punk tribute bands just so they can play lower profile shows and have opportunities like this.
