Concert Review: Cuff The Duke, The Pinecones, November 26, Horseshoe Tavern

Toronto – Cuff The Duke has been around for a few years now, but one question still nags at the brain of many a fan (or me at least) – what exactly does it mean to “cuff the duke?” Legend has it that the band found a t-shirt in some Oshawa thrift store with that very phrase written on it, but the exact meaning remains mysterious.

And as far as Friday’s M83 show at Lee’s Palace, goes, I was not in the best of moods. In fact, I was downright grumpy – I had just awoken from an unplanned nap on the couch, had missed a few crucial moments of that week’s episode of Fringe, was still tired, and felt a bit sick. Obviously this would colour my opinion of the show to an extent.
