This Air is so Fresh!

Matt & Kim @ House of Blues 3/22/09

The enthusiastic Matt & Kim opened for Cut Copy on Sunday night and they were certainly happy to be there. Bubbling over with excitement (and possibly other things), Matt and Kim (who had a pretty gnarly mullet) rocked the House of Blues for a good 40 minutes. While many of their songs sound similar and Matt's voice got a little tiresome by the end, their onstage energy and antics were a perfect warmup for Cut Copy. It was pretty refreshing to see a band genuinely excited and happy to play their songs for someone. Devoted Fan X loves Daylight and was one of the highlights along with Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare. Unlike Cut Copy's god-like gestures, Matt twitched while Kim just thrashed away at the drums, continuing a long lineage of female drummers. I have a soft spot for Matt & Kim and overall they didn't disappoint in delivering their hits and a jolt of optimism.

Haha, I remember when Yukon Ho was promoting his remix by posting links to it in blog comments. Now it finally got featured. Kudos and nice remix.
