Friday nights show at the Varsity Theater in Dinky town was bad ass. i knew Cloud Cult were going to be great but what help complete the show was the two opening acts. the first of which was a guy and a girl called Kaiser Cartel from Brooklyn. They were a two some who were very impressive and would constantly change instruments. they both sang but the female was exceptionally outstanding. They were a mellower version of the White Strips.The second act was a a three some called Hot IQ. when they first strutted on stage with this super hot Asian drummer i thought it was some kind of gimmick to attract an audience but on the contrary in was nothing of the sort that girl could play. she had super long bangs that covered her face and chomped away on bubble gum which added to her cuteness. but when it came down to it i was very impressed with their performance and so much so i went and bought one of their Cd's. They sounded a lot like The Strokes. They were from Denver CO.

For those of you who haven't ever been to the Varsity Theater its a very eclectic and small venue (300 people max). there is elevated platforms on the sides of the room with over sized couches and beds. this really compliments cloud cults music. i was again blown away at by their performance and this caps off two great shows in two weeks for me.
