Cut Copy and The Presets at The Masquerade

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

A pair of Aussie bands bearing electro-rock, and synthesized punk-pop plowed through two-and-a-half hours of music at The Masquerade Saturday night.

The Presets, a Sydney-based due made up of Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes, played a pounding set, with Moyes alternating between the effects programming and drum set.

The Melbourne-based, 5-piece Cut Copy mellowed things (just a tad bit), playing pretty much everything in their repertoire, including songs from their most recent album, In Ghost Colours. Though they played a very energized set, it would’ve been that much more riveting had they played through one or two (or three) song changes (like the album suggests) instead of stopping after each one. Regardless, it was a smashing show.

Chris’s benefit show

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Saturday night at the Drunken Unicorn, a benefit show was held for a local named Chris (seen below in gray cap and tie) who was mugged and shot in the leg in his front lawn near Sampson Street about a month ago. Several bands played, including the Khans, Van Heineken, and Cadillac Jones, and all proceeds from the show went to support Chris in his recovery.
