Cults at Venue July 21, 2011

Cults were in Vancouver last night at Venue (it got moved from The Waldorf Hotel due to ticket demand). The bike rack out front of the club was packed with hipster mobiles and it was really full inside too. The Cults have played there once before (with Twin Sister opening for The Morning Benders) but this time all eyes were on them. They played a relatively short set but what do you want from such a new band. They played almost all of their songs including "You Know What I Mean" which singer Madeline Follin claims they'd only done live once or twice before. Of course their hit "Go Outside" got the biggest rise out of the crowd, I was most impressed with "The Curse" (I hope they pursue their darker side on the next album). After the shortest break ever, the band returned to play one last track for the encore which was "Oh My God" and just like that the hipsters returned to their  ten speeds and were off. A little wobblier and even cooler than when they arrived. All in all a very satisfying show. Beard out!
