Daryl Hall, Chromeo To Perform Together At Bonnaroo Festival 2010

 

File under: random but potentially SUPER AWESOME! Daryl Hall (you know, from Hall & Oates) and Chromeo have announced that they will be performing together Friday, June 11th at Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN. 

Apparently this is not the first time that the unlikely pairing has happened. Back in 2008, Hall had Chromeo on his web show called "Live From Daryl's House" and the episode was widely successful. Their upcoming Bonnaroo performance is merely a reprise of the prior collaboration, slated to perform both Hall & Oates and Chromeo classics. 

This performance could not come at a better time for Chromeo, who are currently working in the studio in order to release their third studio album in August of 2010. You can catch up with them in their "lab" via their currently relaunched blog. If their single, "Night By Night" is any indication of what's to come from these guys, I am STOKED. 

In case you don't have it already:
