Cut Copy + Jessy Lanza @ Théâtre Corona

Upon entering the Théâtre Corona, I had no idea that my ticket of admission also doubled as a one-way train ticket to an elevated state of mind. Before the show, I was stressed about the school year coming to an end, and all of the exams and final papers piling up made me question whether or not going to a concert in the midst of the mayhem would serve me any good.

Nonetheless, Cut Copy and Jessy Lanza obliterated my self-doubt. They conducted a fast-paced joy ride, which allowed me to travel from a dark and troubled mind to a land of care free-joy.

Jessy Lanza's performance fluctuated from tranquil to energetic. Her captivating style of minimal RnB was right on point from start to finish, mesmerizing the crowd into a two-step jive the whole way through.

However, it was the Melbourne-based group Cut Copy that took it full speed ahead. Their upbeat performance got the whole crowd on their feet and their hands in the air. Literally, everybody in the theatre was grooving away. They pleased a mish-mash crowd of teenyboppers and bearded dudes alike.

By the end of the night, I was at Serene Station. Looking around at all the others who arrived there with me, it was impossible to find anyone who wasn't smiling.
