The Presets
@ The Masquerade - Heaven
27-Sept-2008
Show was actually Cut Copy w/ The Presets
Opening "Band" - Le Castle Vania DJ Set
I felt like crap, but really wanted to see The Presets. I do admit I
like them a lot more than Cut Copy. Cut Copy have some great songs,
but don't have the energy of The Presets.
He
was so energetic as he mixed Daft Punk, Chromeo, Cut Copy, and many
more. He got down on the ground, shook his hands up in the air and
first pumped while dancing. The crowd was dancing and crazed! He did
not disappoint, except when Black Eyes closed his set and ended in the
middle of the song. He plays a lot at The Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta,
so check him out. He's hitting the big time lately, so catch him
before he forgets the little people.
If
you don't know who The Presets are, they are an electronica duo from
Australia. I became aware of them on the 2007 season of So You Think
You Can Dance. Mia Michaels choreographed one of the final 4 routines
for Danny & Neil to The Preset's "Are You The One?" Between the
clapping, the driving beat, and Danny's dancing, that routine is one of
my favorites.
I
couldn't take a lot of good pictures of Kim because he was drumming way
on the other side of the stage. They only stood close to each other
when both used the keyboards near the center of the stage.
Highlights of the show:
1>Talk
Like That - Talk talk talk talk talk like like like like like that that
that that that....Oh yeah electronic goodness!!!
2>Are
You The One - The song has the greatest double clapping like during an
awesome techno song and the whole crowd clapped in unison.
3>Kicking
and Screaming & My People - THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW!!! They
should have ended the set with this one instead of "I Go Hard, I Go
Home." These two songs were so energetic as the whole crowd screamed
and sang along. From the first lyrics, "When I was young..." to "So
let me hear you scream if you're with me!" Of course that was followed
by throngs of screaming fans.
While I had a great time, there was so much smoke I honestly could not take more than a shallow breath and went home before Cut Copy came on. I didn't get out of bed for 2-Days after that, but it was worth it. I'm happy I know some other YouTubers who recorded the show, plus my sister saw them in Cali and recorded, so I got to see Cut Copy after all.
Great post!
