Observations Made at Last Night's Cut Copy Show
- I counted at least a dozen girls in the audience with bangs perfectly frozen in place. Not a stray hair in sight. This phenomenon unsettles me and yet fascinates me.
- Hearing Howard Jones’ “Everlasting Love” between band sets is both a joy and a privilege.
- Cut Copy compels my body to move energetically even when clothed in leather and a stifling sweater while being crushed by the drunken, sloppy masses in a restricting space reaching infernal temperatures. This must mean they are good.
- I love when Cut Copy emulate ELO. More bands should adopt Jeff Lynne and company’s vocal stylings.
- Cut Copy’s lead singer Dan Whitford also apes Bernard Sumner without making it painfully obvious.
- Cut Copy dedicated a song to Stevie Nicks. Therefore, they rule.
- Cut Copy = Good hair, good looks, good and subtle use of unlikely influences (Fleetwood Mac, ELO, etc.), good tunes = Great, great times.
- Upon leaving the venue, it was noted that those girls with immaculate bangs astonishingly still managed to keep all hairs in place. It should also be noted that my hair was a damp, flyaway mess. And I didn’t care; I wore my limp, disturbed tresses with pride —an indicator that I’d rather groove than groom.
