3 years ago Australia invaded the world with a handful of bands that would change the music scene across the world and Cut Copy was one of those bands..Cut copy was actually formed in 2005 by Dan Whitford and before he added the additional members (Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott and Bennett Foddy in 2003) he had already released 2 songs under the Cut Copy name… In 2005 is when they made their presence known to the world with a tour that included London, L.A. and New York. From there the band gained national noteriety and just kept getting bigger and bigger.

In 2007 they released possibly their greatest album of all time entitled “In Ghost Colours” with two of their most popular tracks “Lights and Music” and “Far Away” on the album they showed that Australia was a force to be reconned with when it came to Yacht rock.

I remember seeing them live at the Glasshouse in Pomona 2 years ago with another one of my favorites THE PRESETS (also from Australia) and I couldn’t believe how good they were live…

As soon as I saw their names on the Coachella bill I got a little bummed out but only out of jealousy. You know that feeling you get after you see one of your favorite bands at a super small venue and you feel like you’re entitled to keep them all to yourself? A part of you love’s the band because they are so good but another part doesn’t want 50,000 people hopping on your bandwagon? Well that’s exactly how I felt about Cut Copy. At least I’m willing to admit it right?

At the end of the day I’m actually really glad they are playing Coachella, because they are going to change thousands of peoples lives all at once and that’s going to be a really good thing!
