I am re-posting some of these older articles because I’m in the process of moving photos from Flickr to W♥M local hosting. I am also updating the old articles to something more standard … and perhaps add some new commentaries.
Cut/Copy headlined the 7th Street Entry on May 6, 2008. This is the first leg of their tour with Black Kids… the band would return later to Minneapolis in September 2008 with The Presets.
Opening up for them was Mobius Band and Black Kids. Both bands did a pretty short setlist, lasting about 30-40 minutes each, which is understandable as having three bands can be too much if they all did full sets.
The trio Mobius Band are from Brooklyn, New York, with a jerky and energetic Ben (?) pushing buttons and moving back and forth. When he's not doing the buttons thing, he actually also plays guitars.
Black Kids’s set was short. The cardboard setlist shows 9 songs, but it felt like 6 songs.
Singer Reggie Youngblood, sure sweat a lot. The whole band looked really cute with the two girls, Dawn & Ali, doing synchronizing singing. The crowd do love them, and I suspect many of them were there to see them - because many of them were wearing the $20 tour shirts that reads "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You".
Cut/Copy are doing great on their tour throughout the US (selling out at most popular venues, adding additional dates due to demand), before making a triumph return to their hometown of Melbourne, Australia, to two, count 'em, two sold-out show at the Forum.
I was pretty impressed with their manufactured/pre-recorded 80s-techno new wave style beats, and they worked the very packed room of young hipsters and college frat boys to a frenzy with their demands of "dance, jump!"
I couldn't help but wondered what they would do without their beat box, as it seems they depend on it a lot. In fact, at some point, the bassist left the stage and the music just kept going without him.
