Justice Releases Live DVD Full of Tour Secrets and Puns

French electronic artists Justice are simultaneously breaking into the world of puns and live DVD releases. In an effort to capture the essence of the band’s live experience, director friends Romain Gavras and So-Me taped the band nearly non-stop during its three-week tour of the U.S. in March 2008. A documentary of the edited footage is set to be released December 9 under the name A Cross the Universe (har).

Justice are best known for their bass-slapping, sample-happy tunes, as well as for their eccentric live shows. And A Cross the Universe film makers Gavras and So-Me are no strangers to the duo — each have directed a video or two for the band. So while the live CD can give folks a taste of the well-known Justice live show, a set of friends’ eyes behind the camera will tell a more intimate tale of the duo taking on America with their giant, light-up cross.

The DVD/CD combo will be released on Atlantic Records with screenings set around the band’s fall tour. Here’s a treat for you:
