Testing, 1… 2…. Yes, I'm breaking the radio silence from setting
up the new home for TixGirl.com to report some awesome news: My two fave
Australian bands, Cut Copy and The Presets, both have new albums queued up to
drop within the next several months. And they're coming to the US for some rare
show dates! Oh happy day!
Here's the super-secret scoop, before the press releases
hit the wires… Cut Copy will be playing:
3/10 Los Angeles @ The Echo
3/12 SXSW @ Modular showcase
3/15 Brooklyn @ Studio B
3/17 New York @ Mercury Lounge
Could I be more psyched? Um, no. This will be my first
time EVER seeing Cut Copy. Did I mention EVER? Despite the fact that I’ve been spreading
the word like a dance evangelist and turning it up to 11 every chance I get, I’ve
yet to see the mad Melbournians live. If you haven’t heard their last album,
Bright Like Neon Love, run straight to your local iTunes Search Box and buy
yourself a little helping of boogie goodness.
The Presets, they of the eclectic dance insanity from
Sydney, are dropping their new album shortly, too. Rumor has it they’ll be in LA for a few intimate
dates long before they return for their proper North American tour behind the
new album. You lucky Angelenos! P.S. The
US tour kicks off in May or June.
Between the Cut Copy and Presets news, and Justice at WAMU
Theater at MSG, my Spring promises to be just as full of incredible electronic
music shows as was my 2007. Now if only my fave Australian soloist, Sarah
Blasko, could be induced to follow their examples. (*sigh*) Sarah or no, I’m so
excited I can barely see straight.
