Darlin'

90年代早期，Thomas Bangalter和Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo曾經組了一個樂團叫Darlin’。這是取自Beach Boys在1967年發行的歌曲“Darlin’”，因為他們是Beach Boys的粉絲。 英國雜誌Melody Maker曾經提過Darlin’樂團，並把他們描述為「daft punky thrash」，後來Thomas Bangalter和Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo決定把Darlin’解散，並用Daft Punk的名字組成新團。   The Beach Boys-inspired group released their songs under the Duophonic record label, contained in the Shimmies In Super 8 compilation. In 1995 they appeared on the De La Viande Pour Le Disco? compilation, released by Banana Split. This rare limited edition cassette contained two unreleased Darlin tracks, named "Untitled 18" and "Untitled 33". A review in British music magazine Melody Maker called the music "a daft punky thrash." Thus after this short-lived group disbanded, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo created Daft Punk, a successful and world-renowned electronic music project, in 1993. Meanwhile, Brancowitz joined his younger brother Christian Mazzalai in the band Phoenix. The three remained friends, most recently appearing together when Daft Punk made a surprise appearance during the encore of Phoenixs show at Madison Square Garden in October 2010.
