It's the duo's first-ever television performance

Daft Punk made a surprise appearance at tonight's Grammy Awards, performing with Kanye West at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The duo teamed up with the evening's most-nominated artist for an original version of West's recent hit 'Stronger', which they created specifically for the Grammys.

This was the French duo's first-ever television appearance in their 14-year history.

no way!

daft punk did a few tv appearances before!

There's even a real "human" one made in France a long time ago!

I think they did a few interviews in Japan as well...

They were all recorded appearances and then aired at a later date.

This was their first televised LIVE performance in their 14 year history.

Kudos to Daft... I just hope they live on to produce more great music.
