Cut Copy live at Doug Fir, Monday April 28th - a must see
I became a fan of Australia’s Cut Copy through their online mix tapes which have been made available here and there. Their album Bright Like Neon Love came out in 2004 and this March you can now get Lights and Music which is a remix ep by the look of it. Visit the Cut Copy blog to get a free download of a track from their upcoming new release ‘In Ghost Colours.’ I overheard someone at the party say “why’s it taken so long for a band to come along and pick up where New Order left off?”..true, true a fine compliment.
The boys are extremely personable and very clear about their situation but they still foolishly allowed themselves to be interviewed by me. Because of the background noise and their thick Australian accents they may have got off lightly during the Moose interrogation….two takeaway quotes from the interview for me when I asked them about the internet and the ability to get music into peoples hands were “The powers gone back into the hands of the bands” and “It’s time for the labels to try and catch up.” That must put a chill into the hearts of the folks at their label, Interscope.
Watch the YouTube version here or right-click/control click to download your own iTunes/iPhone version here. And you can get their rather fabulous mix tape here.
