Episode 31 - Simian Mobile Disco - Live

Daft Punk broke up more than two years ago, but the group has been more active in the last two months than in the previous decade! Join us for a very special episode of ALIVE: A Good Ground Podcast, as we return to our roots: joyously espousing our love for the two Frenchest robots in the world. There is plenty of WILD speculation about the future of Daft Punk in this episode! Are they mounting a comeback? Are they hinting at the future? Is there a tour on the way? NEW MUSIC? We discuss the re-release of Random Access Memories and all the exciting new tracks on the bonus disc. We also discuss the Snapchat-centric scavenger hunt Daft Punk sent fans on, as well as their first interview as a group in almost 10 years.
