Copyright eh? They kicked around with Matthew Good Band and Treblecharger about 4 years ago. They had that big hit "The Rock Machine" which they named after a Quebec biker gang. I saw them live, and they weren't that great. The lead singer had a pair of tight pants and a raging boner the whole time. Then he got pelted by bottles.

I don't doubt it, I found them disappointing also. I saw their CD release show in Vancouver around the same time and was expecting more (musicially, that is). However, the singer's tight pants were not quite tight enough at this particular show, as he kept getting frustrated by having to pull them back up. One could go off into speculation here, but...

anyway

The CD which had my expectations up for Copyright is called "Transfiguration". The title track and the song "Radio" make for good headphone listening, and I'm sure both these songs have been played before the Hip have taken stage, at least at California gigs (i've noticed "Radio" on a couple of occasions).
