No. 59: Cut Copy

Cut Copy is a three-member electronic dance rock band from Australia. They make up part of an interesting mix of similar-type bands playing Lollapalooza this year that includes Hot Chip and Phoenix.

Cut Copy's most recent release was in 2008 -- In Ghost Colours. I'm a fan of this album, even though it's a little cheesy. But despite the cheesiness, it features great flow, catchy tunes, and an overall fun vibe. It's a really good summer album, and I hope this transfers to this year's Lolla festival. Some tracks to check out: "Unforgettable Season," "So Haunted," and "Strangers in the Wind." The band supposedly has a new album coming out this year, but there is no official word yet.

I have not seen Cut Copy perform live, but I have read numerous reviews that have praised their skills on stage. They play Saturday night at Lolla at 7:30. It should make for a pretty interesting lead-in into Phoenix's headlining set. I'm looking forward to it.
