EVERYBODY LOVES CUT/COPY
...and they’re playing Reykjavík, so whooo!

Yes, it’s true. Everyone’ favourite Australian new wave eighties throwback act Cut/
Copy are poised to play everyone’s favourite club, Nasa, next week. As you all
know, Cut/Copy’s performances are the stuff of legend, with the band sweating up
concert halls and festivals all over the glove over the past years. They just released
a new LP, too, the very excellent ‘Zonoscope’, so we can expect sparkling new tunes
and a renewed enthusiasm as well as faves from ‘In Ghost Colours’ and ‘Bright Like
Neon Love’.
Will they play ‘Hearts On Fire’? Probably!
When they land in Reykjavík, Cut/Copy will have just finished tearing up a neon
storm at the Pitchfork Music Festival over in Chicago. We hear Pitchfork is a very
influential on-line music publication, so the fact that they would book Cut/Copy
with purpose of tearing up a neon storm probably says all that needs to be said
about the band’s high status and quality. Also their music is pretty goddamn great.
If you’re all into it like we are, then we’ll see you there!
