Cut Copy

Cut Copy is a band from Melbourne, Australia. Their sound, best labeled as indie dance and/or electropop, draws considerable influence from 80s new wave bands such as New Order.

The band began in 2001 as the project of Dan Whitford. In 2003 Whitford recruited additional members, and in 2005 toured internationally for the first time, visiting London, New York and Los Angeles. They have toured with international acts Franz Ferdinand, Junior Senior, Bloc Party, and Mylo amongst others; in December of 2007, the band toured Australia with Daft Punk on the Nevereverland tour, the Sydney leg of which attracted a crowd of almost 50,000.

Their new album, “In Ghost Colours” is out now. Sample their sound below and visit their myspace page.
