The energy flows from the Scottish band that sounds like a mix between Placebo and Joy Division. Though the band does not fight the ‘80’s new wave influence, they are not “just another one of those bands.” Franz Ferdinand and Editors might have ventured around the genre of that bygone era, but no one has done it quite as superbly as The Cinematics. Their debut record “A Strange Education,” combines the best of both decades. If Ian Curtis had not committed suicide, Joy Division’s last record would have closely resembled it.
Last night, the band definitely warmed up the crowed for MuteMath. They opened and turned everyone on with “Sunday Sun” and “Keep Forgetting,” but they really peaked with “Maybe Someday” and “Break.” At that point, the whole crowd realized that this was not just a bland opening act. The band could feel it too, and they were showing it off. They were literally playing as if no one would ever stop them.
