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.

What? Chain Gang of 1974 goes on first then Class Actress? It should of been the other way around. Sure enough, Chain Gang of 1974...K!LLED !T. They where GREAT again, even though they had a little glitch in the beginning.

If you have not yet heard of them, I recommend you get the new album, "Wayward Fire". It's good and who was also good, was the temporary hire on keys. Kamtin Mohager (Lead Singer) told us. "he just learned the notes yesturday". Now that's, impressive. I wonder what happened to the other guy? Well, what ever happened, I can not wait to see them again at Lollapalooza in August. H3LL Y3A!

Class Actress was class actress. I was bored after the second songs. I walked around to people watch and I was impressed by the one's into the show. So I went up front again to see what I was not getting. Which I still did not.

I came close not coming tonight, until they added 1974. Then I was, "okay, let's do this". When I was outside to get in, there was a HUGE line on the other side who did not have tickets. I heard the security guard say, "tonight's show is SOLD OUT". Cool.

Washed.Out are the headliner's tonight and they K!CKED A$$! I have not heard anything about there live shows and sure enough, I would see them again. They had me shaking to almost every song they played. Then here comes the jerks. People started to push to the front and of course, I get stuck behind them. All I see now, is the big cabbage head with lots of hair who is flop sweating like CRAZY. Nice. At least he was not drunk, right?

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ - AWESUM!
