Cut.Copy.DJ.Set @Avalon (Hollywood, CA)

Cut.Copy.2012

@Avalon.(Los Angeles, CA)

Friday.February.10th

When I came to Hollywood and Vine, I saw that The Avalon had a HUGE line going up the block!  This is only a DJ set from Cut Copy. Thank God  I bought my ticket online and  zipped through the line.
Once inside,  I noticed that they pulled back the stage to make more room for dancing.  Midnight Juggernauts are the opening DJ's and they are doing a AWESUM job.  They are throwing everything in. This is a sign that its going to be a great night.  While I was standing and looking at the Juggernauts spin some good vocal tunes,  I just realized why Cut Copy is here.  There latest album is nominated for a Grammy.  That's so cool and congrats to them on making a fantastic album, Zonoscope.
FCVK!!! I can not believe I still have gas from that FCVKn Taco Bell bean burrito.  It's been awhile since I had something from Taco Bell.  I had that burrito in the afternoon and I have not stopped since 3pm.  BOY...does it STINK!!  Hahahahaha.

Yes...they just played Moby's, "Go".  Who plays that song now days in there sets?  Oh snaps, they just mixed it with "100 % Pure Love".  That was not the only Crytstal Waters song, they played another 15 minutes later,  "Homeless". 
Ohhhhh $H!T...they just threw  in The Dobbiw Brothers "What A Fool Believes" and I like the fact that people are actually dancing to this stuff.  Could it be because half of the people here are...DRUNK. People are being kicked out around me.  Ahhhh, hey just mixed in Donna Summer, "I Feel Love".  
Cut copy is doing it!!!  They opened up to one of there songs from the Zonoscope album and they started this party just right with "Stomp!" by The Brother Johnsons afterwards.  Dan Whitford and Tim Hoey (Cut Copy)  hit the stage around 12:30 am and they took turns throwing great tunes.  This was a perfect party mix, that I would love a copy of it.  Towards the middle of there set, they played "Hearts on Fire" and the dancefloor got PACKED!  It felt like they where performing the song live because people where getting crazyand so was Dan Whitford.  He was stretching his arms out like he does live.  I think I saw another couple of people getting the boot for being drunk.  After they played "Hearts on Fire", they mixed it with Azari & III "Reckless With You Love" (Perfect) and half of the dancefloor cleared.  Of course, it's no surprise. It's 2:15am and I think this is my exit.  I have no idea how long they played till, but it was a FCVKN AWESUM SET that I really didn't want to leave.

\m/ - ROCK ON!!!

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.

Lollapalooza.2010 (Saturday)

$H*T! Today is.........HOT. We went to the BMI stage which was in the middle of the park by Lake Michigan. We went to check out Dragonette and.........We headed to the North Side of the park to catch The xx and once again, they where Awesum. Perfect for a hot day. Calm and soothing. After The xx, we walked around for a bit. Samy and I went to check out A.F.I. on the South Side and they KILLED IT! Davey (lead singer) came out with a black jacket with stuff shinning on the collor. Just to let you know, it was HOT and he was giving us a performance of a lifetime. Davey was crawling and screaming like a crazy banshee. You go girl. That haircut he had was fierce by the way. Have not seen that since the 70s on my uncle Juan fom La Puente. Feathered on the front and shaved from the side. A.F.I. knows how to put on a show. The last time I saw them was maybe 4 years ago in Long Beach for DecemberUnderground tour. That was an AWESUM show.

We went back to the North Side to catch Cut Copy. Just to let you know, it's a walk to the other side of the park, I mean a walk. give or take 15 minutes. So we sat down and you could hear Social D from the South Side. That is crazy. I guess Mike Ness wanted to pump up the place. ROCK STAR. Cut Copy went on and I was excited to hear the new tunes. They gave one out for free just last week and it's okay. It's different. Kind of folky. It's going to take a couple of listens to get use to. They played there hits and they had us dancing. I noticed that they too are all nicely dressed. They have that early Joy Division look. All grays. Nice. They played a couple of new songs and I was not to crazy feeling it.

We left Cut Copy after 30 minutes into the show to catch Empire of the Sun at the Perry stage (shameless). When we arrived, this place was packed with crazy kids. I noticed that there was no glowsticks around to be found, but it was insane to get around. Some people where leaving to catch Phoenix and Green Day. Once Empire of the Sun came out, it got.....CRAZY! It felt like I was in L.A. When people don't give a $H*T. They would step on you and push you out of the way to to get close to the front. $H*T. Other then that, they where......GOOD. They blew me away. It reminded me of Fischerspooner a bit. The dancing and the costumes. Very performance art. The visuals where okay, but that was alright. The whole show was.......I was just blown away and thank god I bought a ticket to the All Sold Out shows in Los Angeles. That is going to be a awesum show indooors. Yea. Day 2, gameover.
