Much history has been made, both good and bad, along the shores of the great St. Lawrence River, but few of those events has provided cause for continued celebration like the birth of Chromeo.

The electronic funk duo of David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel formed in the early 2000s after the two became friends as young musicians at a school upriver from Montreal — and together as Chromeo, they’ve now released five studio albums, fostering a large population of fans and earning a Grammy nomination along the way.
