Chauffeur Live at The Levi’s/FADER Fort
- story THE FADER
Chauffeur, the band not the dude who drives you to Sexytown in one of those limos with the hottub in the trunk, stopped by The Levi’s®/FADER Fort last weekend to play their one song, “Soles of Fire,” commissioned by Gucci to coincide with Mark Ronson’s new collabo with the brand. They also played a Sheila E. cover, but we’re keeping that one for ourselves (unless y’all want to see it). We texted Ronson and Theophilus minutes after they left the stage and Ronson was already back in the studio while TL was on a flight to Europe. Don’t let the sharp duds fool you—these dudes work for it.

Premiere: Chauffeur (Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro & Theophilus London), “Soles of Fire” MP3
- story Peter Macia
The semi-secretive super group known as Chauffeur came through The Levi’s®/FADER Fort NYC last Saturday looking like The Specials, all done up in tailored suits and sharp collars and ready to pump out some mellow dance music. Due to flight schedules and the fact that they have but one song, however, they only played for like eight minutes. What an eight minutes though! Sheila E cover HELLOOOO. The one song that is theirs, it turns out, is a special ditty cooked up for Gucci’s Icon-Temporary pop-up stores as they unveil the boat-sneaker designed by Mr Ronson himself, so prepare to feel like spending a lot of money as you listen to this. Ronson has that kind of mind power.
