Bandmembers Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay are currently gigging in the U.S., with their next performance at the Mission Ballroom in Denver tonight before wrapping up the tour on October 23 at the Radius in Chicago.
In an interview with earlier this year, Xavier said of the concerts: “In a way, the live show is almost like the opposite of the album, in the sense that we want the live show to be digestible in one go.
"Everything is meant to be a bit simpler and more straightforward when we play live, but ideally, we want our albums to give you new surprises with every listening session.
“We don’t want all of it to be fully legible the first time around with the album, but at the shows we don’t really care if you even know our music; we just want it to be catchy and fun.”

Justice's music videos have also received critical praise, particularly the animated D.A.N.C.E. video and the controversial Stress video, which depicted a group of teenagers on a violent rampage in Paris.
The Stress video was directed by Romain Gavras and stirred public and media debate over its portrayal of violence and youth culture.
Justice's second album, Audio, Video, Disco, released in 2011, marked a shift towards rock, stepping away from their earlier house music style.
The album's promotion included singles such as Civilization, which was used in an advertising campaign for Adidas, and Audio, Video, Disco.
Their third album, Woman, was released in 2016 and continued the trend of incorporating various musical influences, including disco and funk.
Woman was followed by a live album recording of their subsequent tour, Woman Worldwide, in 2018, which won a Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album in 2019.
