Nobot -_”Drinking Progress”

If there’s one thing I learned last night, it’s that Minneapolis kids can get down when they want to. Last night a bunch of Aussies blew the top off the Fine Line. By the time I arrived at the venue Kordan had finished their set and The Presets were playing to a packed, nearly sold out house (apparently there were a few tickets left). The duo from Sydney delivered a pretty standard set drawing heavily from this year’s Apocalypso; they got a great response. Behind them (and later Cut Copy) were two panels of fluorescent tube lighting that switched through colors and patterns, the coolest light setup I’ve seen at the Fine Line.

Cut Copy took the stage at almost exactly 11 pm and opened with “Nobody Lost, Nobody Found.” The raucous crowd filled up the main floor to the point where it was difficult to move. “Hello Saint Louis!” shouted front man Dan Whitford – it was unclear if he was joking or not. Throughout the set the energy remained high. The audience was wild, crowd surfers came along every few minutes, and a few times the crowd more closely resembled a mosh pit than a dance floor. It was all in good fun, and included a lot of simply jumping up and down due to lack of space. The band sculpted a pretty stellar setlist using most of their material from Bright Like Neon Love and this year’s (fantastic) In Ghost Colours. The latest single, “Lights and Music,” was placed perfectly near the end of the set and was the peak of the show. They encored with the radio version of “Hearts on Fire;” even the crowd in the balcony was dancing.

Cut Copy’s airy yet hard-hitting blend of new wave electronic rock appeared to be exactly the kind of release Twin Citizens needed after a seemingly immediate switch from summer to fall. It certainly made me feel like Minneapolis had a little more summer to give us. -Chase Turner

and VERY SPECIAL GUESTS
JUAN MACLEAN & NICK from HOLY GHOST!..

The Juan Maclean are touring behind their new forthcoming album, and it is fucking amazing – full of classic disco, house, and techno references, while aimed straight into the future.
It is some of the best stuff to come out on DFA, period.
The band line-up this time around features Juan Maclean, Nancy (LCD Soundsystem), Nick (Holy Ghost!), and Jerry (!!!, Turing Machine), and is stopping at the 7th Street Entry for a show Saturday night.

After the show, there’s free crossover into the mainroom for the back-to-school edition of Too Much Love, which should be off the hook.
I will be playing alongside the incomparable Naughty Wood, with Juan and Nick coming by after the show to spin records.
Absolutely not to be missed!
