Copycuts Overtake Studio B!

Last night, when Australian dance rock outfit Cut Copy took the stage just after 11 p.m. at Studio B in Greenpoint, we found ourselves front row, center. Such is the pleasure of going to a concert alone—criss-crossing through the masses to get up front ain’t no thang when you’re a loner. Their album In Ghost Colours is a dance-rock sensation. The crowd ecstatically shouting all the lyrics can attest to that fact—it was U2 for club kids. With our buzz decreasing and our bladder increasing, we waited for a lull in the band’s set (never came) to drain and refill.
Colt .45 tall boy in hand (we love you Studio B), we went to reclaim our spot up front, but realized this show is just as good from afar. Now there was a view of the crowd, and when a Cut Copy beat drops, hundreds of arms rising simultaneously slams home the point. “This is your last chance to dance with us,” Cut Copy mastermind Dan Whitford said before their last song. Not true, Dan. We’re seeing you again at the Bowery Ballroom tonight, front and center—until we need to pee.
