The new kings of electronic rock definitely need to be there next year.
After seeing them at the Pitchfork Festival this past Sunday, I feel comfortable saying that this is one of the best bands currently touring, period. I've never seen a band launch the crowd into a dance frenzy as much as Cut Copy does (and that includes both times I saw LCD Soundsystem).

Can't wait until I finally see them this September in Athens. I was so angry I had to miss them in Atlanta in the Spring, and I was disappointed they weren't at Bonnaroo or Moogfest, but Capps can make up for it with this. Hopefully they'll still be touring by then. And some people might say Karosko is exaggerating a bit, but I fully agree with everything he said.

Yeah, a lot of people I know say the same thing. "Too 80's" is the #1 reason I always hear when people don't like them. And it's a pretty accurate tag, to be sure.

I finally saw them for the first and second times last week. It was better than I thought it could be. I saw them at Bisco and Pitchfork. They had longer at Pitchfork and so I enjoyed it more, but wow were they both incredible. I don't get the "too 80s" argument- I don't like new wave or 80s music at all, yet I love Cut Copy. They do sound very 80s/new wave, but they have a different feel that sets them apart. My girlfriend (who also loves them and was at both shows with me) loves to make fun of me for hating new wave but loving them.
Signed, and then signed multiple times over. I've been calling for them to come to Roo for years now. Due to my many hipster friends over in Australia cluing me in on them, I've been a huge fan since spring 2004. I finally got to see them on the In Ghost Colours tour two and a half years ago and they blew me away. A Roo show would be a dream come true.

I can't agree more with this proposal. I actually filled out the survey that was sent out by Bonnaroo a week or so ago that asked for any artists I would like to see next year and I put Cut Copy late night.
I saw them in Chicago in April and it was an awesome show. I've never danced so hard or been so sweaty in all of my life. I sweat less at the gym, haha.
80's new wave is a pretty big nostalgic thing with me for whatever reason.
Probably why I love Cut Copy so much.
baiting...baiting ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80's
hipster thread by hipster poster
I'm not a hipster mang, I'm a Satanist. Need I remind you of a certain metal show that a certain poster ran away from with a certain terrified look on his face?
I saw them at Bisco, an while they put on a good show, I can't get into their studio stuff despite my best efforts.
About half of every album is kind of meh, but the other half of every album I love. Luckily for me, they put together a playlist at Bisco that included every song I really wanted to hear live. Good job, Cut Copy. Try getting all the albums, and then piecing the setlist together- that might do the job.
It took seeing them live at Virgin Freefest to really get me into them; the 80's thing was a slight turn off at first. However, their live show is filled with energy. I've learned to dig their sound too. I would love to see them late night at Bonnaroo. Ideally, I would like a M83 - Passion Pit - Cut Copy (in any order) late night stage.
Are these guys known for having a good show? I would love to see them, but hadn't really thought of them as a late night act.
To be honest, until today, I had no idea they had other albums as I thought Zonoscope was their debut. Looks like I get to go back and listen to some "new" Cut Copy!

I enjoy their albums, but their studio stuff pales in comparison to their live show. To be honest you probably don't even have to love their music to have fun at their concerts.
