Kicking off the Waterloo Park main stage performances at Mess With Texas 3 was Cut Off Your Hands. This Aukland, New Zealand quartet treated the sparse crowd to a set filled with pleasant, seemingly 60’s-inspired indie pop. Dressed uniformly in black jeans and ts, Cut Off Your Hands looked pretty, but failed to leave any sort of lasting musical impression on me.

Hey Colin,
Great review for a great show. Fantastic photos as well, and I was wondering what the chances were of getting a couple non-watermarked files so I could print them as a gift for someone? I’d understand if you’d rather not, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
Thanks either way, and keep up the good work.

Agreed. What I really liked about it was the acts actually complemented each other, which I feel is a rarity these days. If more shows were put together with respect to how they might sound one after another, I think fans would really appreciate it!

that bill was unreal! whoever set that up deserves a party thrown in their honor or at the very least a promotion.

Review is spot on! I, too, was lucky enough to see this trio of incredible bands and came away from the night feeling thoroughly pumped!!

My bad. Was talking about Priors but i guess since I haven’t heard the original, this might not sound anything like a French group if Hey Champ wasn’t doing it. I’ll go looking for the original and make an adjustment if necessary.

This is unbelievable. What an idiot!
