Cut Copy Makes Us See In Colour

Cut Copy Makes Us See In Colour

I always have a plan when I’m seeing a concert because I know good concerts are not born; they are made. A group of dependable concert buddies, a tight venue and thick crowd, a couple of beers beforehand, and the energy and willingness to dance are essentials. A good performance by the band also helps. So I spent the hours leading up to the much anticipated Cut Copy performance Tuesday night at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro trying to coordinate (read: scheme) the social and logistical ingredients just so, as well as knock down my expectations a few pegs, all in the name of eluding that dreaded fog of disappointment that can creep up on the performance of even your favorite band (especially your favorite band) and hover over it for the rest of your life. As it turns out I needn’t have worried. Continued below the fold.
