Weekend's best bet: Chromeo at the Fillmore Silver Spring

UPDATE: Reader Margarita Noriega, on behalf of AT&T, sent us an email about AT&T giving away five pairs of tickets to the show. For your chance to win, show up at the AT&T store in Silver Spring (8519 Georgia Ave.) Friday between 5-7 p.m. to enter. Thanks for the heads up, Margarita.

There's a thin-line between tongue-in-cheek and eye-rolling hipster irony, and Chromeo straddles it with the best of 'em. The Montreal duo of P-Thugg and Dave 1 rises above the vintage-for-no-reason fray with their sticky hooks and understanding of electro-pop. The songs on the group's third album, "Business Casual," are too tightly constructed and well-written (the propulsive "Night by Night" — with its barely there, jangly guitar and restrained verses — is a good example) to be laughed off as a joke. There will be plenty of disco moves on the dancefloor Saturday night at the Fillmore Silver Spring, so expect that cooler-than-thou vibe in the crowd more than from the stage. But it'll be there, too.
