Daft Punk and Kanye West at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards

Yes, we were there, backstage!  Daft Punk made a surprise appearance onstage with Kanye West, wearing their red lighted suits from the Alive 2007 tour (the same ones that we illuminated, with a few extra pieces, like gloves, pants, and shoes).  We were also quite involved as creative consultants for the other portable lighting in the performance, and installed the aqua EL outlines on the violins.   The lighted jacket and glasses were made by Nyx (friends of Enlighted).

We'll have more to say soon, when we add a page to enlighted.com, but in the meantime, here's the Daft Punk press release:
"The iconic and critically acclaimed French duo Daft Punk made a surprise appearance at the 50th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night. For their first ever television performance, they teamed up with Kanye West to perform his 2007 smash hit "Stronger", which samples the group's 2001 single "Harder Better Faster Stronger" from their landmark album Discovery. For the Grammy Awards, Daft Punk and Kanye West performed an original version of "Stronger" they created specifically for this event, marking Daft Punk's only television performance in the 14 year history of the band."
