Cut Copy

[intedomine]

I'm off to see Cut//Copy tonight at The Box at the Henry Fonda Theater, Los Angeles, CA.

YAY! I can't wait for 'So Haunted'!

Enjoy, I'm sure they'll be awesome.

I've only seen them do a kinda half-hearted DJ set last month and it was kinda a let down, didn't really spin anything from IGC (except Hearts On Fire), a shame really...

 

[intedomine]

My favourite Cut Copy moment is:

If that's what it takes
then don't let it tear us apart
even if it breaks your heart

.

Always reminds me of Love Will Tear Us Apart...

My favorite pic I took (girl next to me bumped me as I was taking it and it came out awesome as a result):

And I got one of my favorites on video. It was SO GOOOOOOOD!
YouTube - Cut Copy - "So Haunted" at The Music Box

I really wanted to go to one of the shows, but I'm majorly broke right now.

I am majorly digging both of these albums, though, and happy for that at least.

My friend had tix for both nights. I went with him to the first night and the Fire Marshall shut the show down 1 hour and 15 or 20 minutes into Cut Copy's set - totally sucked! Cut Copy were playing, kicking ass and then the house lights started to come up from back to front, then the amps turned off and then they just dropped the curtain on the band. Everyone was PISSED! They raised the curtain briefly so Dan could tell us that they would love to play more, but the Fire Marshall was shutting the show down and there was nothing they could do about it. But Dan did say he was sorry and that they had an absolutely great time playing for us.

Sure enough, they moved the next night's show to the Nokia Club - much bigger than The Music Box. Greedy Music Box oversold both nights and, as a result, I only got an hour and 15 minute show. Fuckers!

 

[lazarus]

I still can't believe they're big enough to play two nights in L.A. I had no idea.

 

[If you shout...]

People listen to the 'Fork, Laz. So it goes.

 

[intedomine]

Watching some youtube clips, they seem amazing live, would love to be at a full Cut Copy gig when they play Feel The Love......the Dj set I saw last month was very underwhelming, thought they would have at least spun some sounds from IGC.

Thought it was time for a bump, what with the new album next year and all. There are two songs floating around now, here's the one they debuted at Lolla the other day:

YouTube - ‪Cut Copy - Blink And You'll Miss The Revolution (new song) / Hearts On Fire - Lollapalooza 2010‬‎

 

[FitzChivalry]

I heard/have a new one called 'Where I'm Going', which is very Beach Boys-ey with a Beatles-ey/'Blue Jay Way'-esque break in the middle. Pretty interesting.

 

[cobl04]

i want the album now

 

[The Sad Punk]

Clearly the best thing to come out of Melbourne.

Spoiler

;D

 

[cobl04]

i would almost agree with that actually. almost.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Guess you guys have had a couple of good footballers here. And Tony Martin lives there.

 

[cobl04]

one thing i know for sure is IGC > Peter Helliar

wait, "here"? are you in Melb?

 

[The Sad Punk]

Shit, too late to edit that.

Nah, I'm in Adelaide, although I did drive halfway across to Melbourne for a mate's 21st this weekend. Think I may have listened to a bit of Cut Copy on the way.

 

[phanan]

Can't wait for February 8th.

 

[corianderstem]

I haven't listened to their album nearly enough, but whenever they pop up on my iPod on shuffle, I think, wow this is really cool -what is this again?

 

[the tourist]

February 8th is so long from now.

 

[cobl04]

hopefully it has something as awesome as the riff in So Haunted...

 

[FitzChivalry]

This.

 

[bono_212]

Let the hype begin.

 

[FitzChivalry]

All I care about is that the fire marshall DOESN'T shut the show down 50 min. in, next time I see them!

Not sure you guys noticed, but you can listen to the 30-sec album preview here:

ZONOSCOPE: Cut Copy: Amazon.co.uk: Music

Small note: "Take Me Over" is longer/extra lyrics in the album version.

 

[IWasBored]

i like the tune LM put on his DI list

sadly, that's just about the only one i've heard. i will fix this.

 

[LDM007]

"take Me Over" is just brilliant... Definitely has a "Down Under" vibe to it from Men at Work too.

 

[cobl04]

Speaking of Australian dance, as much as I enjoy this album, I would more highly recommend Muscles' "Guns Babes Lemonade" from last year.

i just saw this. scumbo, i u.

ice creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam is gonnnnnnna save the dayyy, again

 

[Dragonfave]

"Zonoscope" has leaked. If you have problem searching, PM me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, no matter what, Zonoscope probably should have been called 20,000 Leagues Under In Ghost Colours. I really like it though, the influences this time out (Yeasayer, Animal Collective) lend themselves to warmer weather and fun times, plus the production is fucking dense, so I can only see this growing on me with future listens. Need You Now is sublime, and This Is All We've Got is a terrific indie rock song bathed in psychedelia. Really good.

 

[MMP]

It's nice... but after an album like In Ghost Colours it's just hard to not feel underwhelmed. Hopefully it'll be a grower though, and Need You Now is quite an opener.
