Here's a hilarious and suprisingly catchy video of Montreal's favourite electrosynth duo, Chromeo, whose music has been described as "a shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop which ruled the eighties." (BBC music), lending talents to the kids show that will breed the raddest little bunch of up-and-coming music geniuses, Yo Gabba Gabba.
The show, created by child actor and lead signer of The Aquabats, Christian Jacobs (also known as MC Bat Commander) and Scott Schultz of 90s indie band Majestic, is presumably named after a Ramones' lyric (Gabba Gabba Hey) and is a tasty treat for the eyes and ears with segments like Biz's Beat of the Day, which teaches kids to beatbox, or host DJ Lance Rock getting crazy kiddies (who are now burgeoning youtube superstars) to dance to electro-synth pop. And all this within the confines of a set that looks like a the shiny 80s exploded all over a loud, brightly coloured vintage game show. amazing.
Other guests that have graced Yo Gabba Gabba's stage include The Roots, Jack Black, Of Montreal, The Shins, Shiny Toy Guns, Tony Hawk, Elijah Wood, Mates of State, The Clientele, The Ting Tings, comedian Rhys Darby, and more.
