Daft Punk

Daft Punk were a French electronic house duo formed in 1993 by Thomas Bangalter (born: ) and Guillaume Emmanuel "Guy-Manuel" de Homem-Christo (born: ). They're regarded as one of the most influential dance acts in history.
== Origins ==
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter met in 1987 while attending the Lycée Carnot secondary school in Paris. The two became friends and recorded demos with others from the school. In 1992, they formed a band, Darlin', with Bangalter on bass, Homem-Christo on guitar, and Laurent Brancowitz on guitar and drums. The trio named themselves after the Beach Boys song "Darlin'", which they covered along with an original composition. Both tracks were released on a multi-artist EP under Duophonic Records, a label owned by the London-based band Stereolab, who invited Darlin' to open for shows in the UK.
Darlin' disbanded after around six months, having played two gigs and produced four songs. Bangalter described the project as "pretty average". Brancowitz formed another band, Phoenix. Bangalter and Homem-Christo formed Daft Punk and experimented with drum machines and synthesizers. The name was taken from a negative review of Darlin' in Melody Maker by Dave Jennings, who dubbed their music "a daft punky thrash". The band found the review amusing.
==Channel History ==
The channel was created on September 19, 2007, and uploaded their first video on September 20, 2011. The video was an announcement for their musical movie called Interstella 5555, which is available in Blu-Ray. Eventually, VEVO moved all of their music to their channel in 2013-2014, and Daft Punk themselves their own audio in 2015. 
On February 22, 2021, they uploaded their first video in five years, titled "Daft Punk - Epilogue", announcing that they are disbanding.
Despite the group disbanding, they still upload videos.
