Surprise, surprise. From the fertile terroir of France sprouts a new record from Justice and it melds the bombast of arena rock with the crystalline structure of dance music. Pulling liberally from the classic rock repertoire, Justice manage to condense elements of Queen, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, etc, into a can the size of Daft Punk. The synth tones are heavily compressed and syncopated into riff-like chunks, the beats are towering and heavy on the cymbals. Fuzzed out electric guitars play harmonized solos over digital footstomps and robotic hand-claps. The live show is the two of them bobbing in front of a cornucopia of cables, hardware and laptops, occasionally throwing up an arm to hype the crowd. The electro-house beats are blared from giant walls of Marshall speakers, the nerdy producers clad in tight jeans and leather jackets. Who would have imagined that the future of rock music would be thousands of screaming fans going ballistic in front of two dudes fiddling with computers? However, that future is here. In essence, they've distilled the polar opposites of 1970's hard rock and disco into a singular party where everyone is invited, rave kids and metal kids alike.

Playing at the Paramount Theater at 8 pm. Tickets are $26.25 in advance and $31.25 at the door. Get your disco on.
