Cut Copy >> Lights and Music in Tempe [Marquee Theatre]

Cut Copy >> returned to Tempe on Wednesday night for a brilliant show at Marquee Theatre. The wonders from down under are fresh into their Free Your Mind album tour, which just released stateside this week.

The Aussies took stage just after 10pm and opened with 'Free Your Mind'. The title track didn't just break open the set but was also emblazoned everywhere from the backdrop to the dozens of shirts donned by the early birds in the crowd. It was a noticeably long interlude prior to the set start so there were tons of anxious peeps waiting for Cut Copy to set our 'Hearts On Fire'.

Once 'Where I'm Going' followed thereafter the venue started to shake absurdly. Not just because the familiar Zonoscope cut got people dancing more but also because the tribe of ho's in front had reached a new level of inebriation, spilling drinks and getting kicked out by security. Total temporary buzz kill for my squad, our gothic space neighbors and Dane Cook's doppelgänger - obvi there was a variety of people in attendance because Cut Copy is for everyone.

Then came a slew of jams from my favourite album In Ghost Colours including 'Feel The Love' which even included the live robot backup vocals and of course, 'Hearts On Fire'. The sound wall breakdowns in this song made everyone go nucking futs but not as much as I did when they wrapped up the evening with 'Lights And Music'.

I was able to get some footage of 'Take Me Over' and it actually sounded great but YouTube is being a little bitch at the moment so I'll try to update this shit with a clip here soon.

It was refreshing to let loose immersed in joyous electropop again. I feel like it's been forever getting lost in synthesizers galore even though it has only been about a week. But I live for this shit and my fancy footwork require frequent reps.

Cut Copy is so choice. If you have the means I highly recommend picking up tickets to see them.
