In what my R&B-loving wife considers the best news of the year, the Rialto Theatre announced that Chromeo is playing a show here on October 10. Chromeo, a funk-loving Canadian duo, has been cranking out fun and danceable singles for a decade (
including the always amusing "Needy Girl"), but they're currently touring to promote their best album yet,
White Women, which features a bunch of songs that will likely end up as hummable backgrounds to commercials (
like "Jealous" in some cider ad). I've seen these guys twice, including their mainstage performance at this year's Coachella, and they put on a talkbox-heavy dance party that's about as straight-up entertaining as any show I've seen. Good time fun, for sure.
Tickets for the all-ages Chromeo show, with Wave Racer opening, go
on sale Friday and range from $25 to $33.
