Aussie digi-pop trio, Dan Whitford and co. return to Dublin for their first live performance since their sold-out show in November 2008.
The trio are currently recording their long awaited third album, the follow-up to 2008′s brilliant “In Ghost Colours” which should be wrapped shortly. Never content to stand still, it is as much a progression of sound as “In Ghost Colours” was from their debut “Bright Like Neon Love.” They will be playing festivals across the globe this summer.
The musical lovechild of Melbournite Dan Whitford, Cut Copy was originally a solo project for Whitford to exercise his love of sampling and instrumental hip-hop. Soon Whitford recruited pals Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott, traded in the sequencers for soundtracks, and recorded the I Thought of Numbers EP in 2001. Three years later, the posse eventually solidified the Cut Copy sound – scuzzy disco, post-post-punk, electric rock, space pop – on their debut album Bright Like Neon Love.
Cut Copy play the Button Factory, Dublin on Tuesday 20th July 2010.
