Who: MetallicaWhen: November 14thWhere: Madison Square GardenOn Sale: April 11thMore DatesThoughts: They may be a shell of what they once were but seeing Metallica live is always a fun evening. They play loud, fast, and most of the songs you actually like from the band, plus there's always explosions and shit too! So put down the Guitar Hero for one night, drag out your old jean jacket, and hea...
Cut Copy — "Sands Of Time" — Far Away EP Saw them live on Saturday, and they fared rather well over the course of an hour-long set in the ever-dodgy Terminal 5 (now with fresh empanadas on the 3rd floor!—uh, wut?). Still, I guessed this would be as close as I'd ever get to seeing the Happy Mondays at the Hacienda, downed a Red Bull vodka and watched the sweaty cokeheads rave it up downstair...
{Cut Copy}Direct from the group:Just a quick note to say how excited we are to be jumping onto a plane to Mexico today to start our final tour on "In Ghost Colours." Our last North American trip was amazing, and there's no reason to expect this one won't be even more insane, bringing the party to the next ...
Cut Copy are making a final return to Southern California before they head back to Australia to work on the follow up to the extremely excellent In Ghost Colours , easily one of our favorite albums of '08.The guys play the Glass House in Pomona on March 9th and two nights at the Henry Fonda here in Hollywood; March 10th and 11th. Matt and Kim and the Knightlife are also on the bill for all t...
I am new to the Cut Copy bandwagon, but I have a feeling that I will be getting very well acquainted with these retro wunderkinds in the next few weeks. Without a doubt, detractors will joke that the band's name is quite appropriate, as they certainly created a record that borrows a lot from the past. Those same snide commentators will be missing out on a hell of a show. Certainly owing a ton t...
[09-27-2008] Australia, historically, hasn't been known for producing a lot of music about which the rest of the world really gives a shit. Of course, there have been some notable exceptions over the years: Big Country, the band responsible for the song "Big Country," off the album Big Country; Men at Work, who along with Big Country, can be filed under adult-contemporary radio filler; Austral...
Homeys tore up Webster Hall on Sunday night; and we tore up the upstairs balcony couch cushions with a new bounce/dance combo move called "Where's our teacher? She hasn't shown up yet!" that's most similar to how the kids at Polly Fector Elementary roll before Miss Vaughn arrives. And jackpot, indeed. Some alt bros had a hard time figuring out how to dance to "Strangers in the Wind," but t...
The Presets Cut Copy Cut Copy & The Presets sold out a Sunday night show. Tickets were nearly impossible to purchase on Craigslist, unless you were clicking refresh every second. People got down on a Sunday night, and this is why I love this city. It's been a love/hate relationship ever since I was purposely elbowed in the face by a tall tranny around 14th St. & 3rd Ave (OINY), but...
--- - |- Cut Copy have developed a rep as a top-notch live band, and this set captured earlier this year at Brooklyn's Studio B shows what the fuss is about. They know how to build and break down their electro-pop tunes to encourage movement, and their energy never flags. So go ahead, dance in front of your computer-- no one is watching. Five songs are up today-- click on the link below to sta...
--- - |- Just a little over a week past the release of their sophomore set, Donkey, and the gals and guy of CSS have already got a move on their next single. It's for the stupendously catchy "Move", it's due September 8 in the UK from Warner Bros., and damn if it doesn't have remixes of its title track from Cut Copy and Frankmusik. No knock on ol' Frank, but boy howdy, a Cut Copy remix of a p...

Also from the Pitchfork front, Johnny Marr will be making a guest appearance on John Frusciante's 10th album out 1.20.2009 on Record Collection Music entitled The Empyrean. John Frusciante x Johnny Marr Also check [...]
It's okay, Indie States of Internet America. We'll get through this. Catch your breath, have a drink of water, just try to calm down a bit. And please, keep reminding yourself: They did it for the paycheck. It's just for a paycheck. At least let's hope that's why this pack of usually sensible artists, the jumpers of Cut Copy, the newscasters of Deerhoof, and the mostly naked of Montreal, decid...
It's Friday and it's time for some nice electro. First is the Burns remix of Empire of the Sun . It's actually a nice mellow track which is 7 minutes long. Normally I don't like tracks this long, but it's actually really nice so this track is an exception to the rule. Second track is Futureflashs ' Find Your Brother , did not know he was producing his own music now. Great work! It's a...
