Flashback: Cut/Copy with the Presets, Kordan at the Fine Line Cafe, Minneapolis (16 Sep 2008)

This show was actually headlined by Cut/Copy with The Presets as support. We caught Cut/Copy four months earlier (in May 2008) so seeing them again so soon was a little surprising. There are no photos of Cut/Copy or Presets as we were not given permission to photograph them. Remember, this was at a time when cameras were forbidden at concert halls… and camera phones were starting to get popular with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007.

Anyway, the most interesting thing is that Cut/Copy asked New York’s Kordan to come tour with them. On a whim, Kordan agreed and as a result, their debut live performance took place over at the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on September 16, 2008.

For a band that’s never played live before, Kordan‘s first show at the Fine Line Cafe in Minneapolis last night (Sep 16^th, 2008), was surprisingly effortless. I think at some point the bassist had to look at his written notes, but overall, they seem to have it together.

I was deeply impressed that Cut/Copy personally asked them to open up for them on the first section of their tour. Although, I will admit that I don’t think Kordan sounds like Cut/Copy or the Presets… Kordan comes off as sounding more indie-rock.

The highlight of their short setlist was Deidre Muro’s singing and these “Save Tibet” dudes.

Oh also, I was surprise to hear that singer, Arthur, has a very weird non-American accent (Spanish). Anyway, be sure to check out the rest of the tour:
