WHAT?!?!?  I am up front at the Palladium?!   I'm never been right up front leaning against the rail.  Its almost 9 o'clock and the place is kind of empty.  You would think this concert would be sold out, but no.  The line up is GREAT and Cut Copy threw a kick a$$ show at Coachella this year.  So why a lite crowd?   I rushed here to catch Midnight Magic, but they have not gone up yet.
Midnight Magic was up and on bass was Andrew Raposo (he's from Jessica 6 and ex Hercules & Love Affair bass player),  how many bands is this guy bass playing for?  What a busy guy.  Midnight Magic is doing something different from what other dance bands are doing right now.  They are bringing 70's disco back to the dance floor with a 90's twist.  They played a couple of songs and they did a good job in pumping the crowd.  They got some of us moving and they where good.  If it wasn't for that free download from Scion, I would of not heard about them. 
Washed Out was up next and they did pretty good.  Nothing new or different from the last time I saw them at the EchoPlex.  I looked around and it started to get busy. 
Cut Copy hit the stage and what a show!  Of course people went crazy when they played, "Light & Magic", but it wasn't as bananas as Coachella...that was insane.   I was looking forward to the door that they displayed really cool visuals.  I wonder why they didn't bring it with them this time?  

They actually played "Sun God" in it's entirety and it was FCVKn AWESUM!   Tim Hoey (Guitar/Sampler) was all over place, but in a good way.  Couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was always doing something crazy.  Tim Hoey would get his guitar and drag it along the stage to get some noise.  There are times when he would get a tambourin and hit the symbols harder then the drummer.  He was pretty wild.  You would think the crowd would be wild too, but where I was at, they kept it together.  
If you haven't gotten the new album; Zonoscope or seen them live, you are missing out.   Everytime I see them, they throw an AMAZING show and they NEVER disappoint.

BOY.CRiSiS LiVE! @the.BROOKLYN.BOWL

.....I got off the L train on Bedford Ave & the avenue was jumpin. Wow. Can not believe how much Williamsburg has changed over the past years. It is it's own city down here. I walkD down a couple of blocks and I was surprised on how fast new apartment buildings where built and more bars. How many more bars do they need here? I made a couple of turns until I reachD Wythe St. There I came upon the.BROOKLYN.BOWL. There was a short line and it moved quick...............I walkD in2 the place not Xpectin it 2 B an actual bowling ally. Right on. I thought it was an old bowlin ally covertD in2 a concert venue and it sure was not. This place was jumping. U have the bowlin ally on 1side and the dancefloor/stage across from it. This place was REALLY COOL. I loved it. I lookD around and U had hipsters, frat boys, gossip girls & in-betweeners. The musik was okay. They playD ElectroTechno and I think they playD La Roux twice but different mixes. I lookD up and the place was convertD in2 a bowlin ally. So it was not an old bowlin ally after all. It use2 B a warehouse. Right ON. I lookD around in2 the crowd again and I saw Andrew Raposo (bassist of JESSiCA.6 and he also use 2 B w/Hercules and Love Affair) walking around. So this might B a good nite after all..............Time has passD and still the band has not gone on. What do U XpectD, it's NYCity. Everythin runs late here. The Bowl was still busy around 1am and sure enough, BOY.CRiSiS hits the stage around 1:10am. Okay. Not Bad. They where.....not what I Xpected from this band. The energy was good but the musik was not there 4 me. I was hoping 2 like them but not really. It was a great Xperience 2 hangout @the.BROOKLYN.BOWL. I well B back 2 C anothr band here soon.........
