A few hours ago, the town of Wee Waa, Australia, hosted the official launch party for Daft Punk's Random Access Memories at their annual agricultural festival. (The album is officially released next week, but streaming now).

Although Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo don't seem to have been there in person, that certainly didn't deter revellers. The town itself only has a population of about 2,000, but 4,000 tickets were sold for the event, reports Gigwise.

The launch itself consisted of a massive LED dance floor and a firework display. To commemorate the event, the local butchery apparently made Daft Punk sausages (a video below shows the process) while the local bakery sold "punk pies" and "techno treats".

Watch short clips of the party below, followed by more videos from the town's increasingly insane Road to Wee Waa series, about their preparations in the run-up to the event. Read Ryan Dombal's Cover Story feature on the band, and check out outtakes from the feature.

Even the town's graffiti artists got in on the action, tagging farm equipment and animals:
