Thanks for your patience as we undergo what we ladies might call a radical facelift. That's right, we've migrated all our classic TixGirl.com content from AOL to Blogger, which has resulted in some slightly odd spacing for photos and videos. But thanks for your patience in awaiting TixGirl.com's return with all the latest breaking news you've come to expect: must-see tours, tickets going onsale, insider info on private gigs, and photos straight from the pit at my fave shows.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, check out <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/">BrooklynVegan</a> for the latest breakings. He's my go-to-guy for all things NY indie. Make him yours. And we'll see you back on the scene soon.<br />
<br />

That new wave dance fantasy came true on 7/16 and 7/17 when two sold-out crowds piled into New York's Terminal 5 to see <a href="http://youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AC3A0B7C5ED7E8E1">Alison Moyet and Vince Clark reunited on tour</a>.<br />
Un-be#$%&ing-lievable.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tixgirl/2675599693/" title="DSC06617_edited by tixgirl, on Flickr"><img alt="DSC06617_edited" height="180" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3122/2675599693_a1c14a3312_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Though I admit I wasn't surprised that the average age was higher than I care to admit, it was pure, unbridled joy in the audience. And it was clear from the glee on Alison Moyet's face as she danced around belting out some of the best songs of the 80s, that she had missed the thrill of performing for an adoring audience. Get a load of the best songs of the night and feel the dance madness for yourself...<br />

famous </b><b>Hollywood Bowl (2007). </b> As demand for the show has
grown, the pair have continuously refined and reworked the song selection, so that aspects of it are different every time. In the words of Shadow himself, "If you happened to catch one of the earlier shows, never
fear...you won't be disappointed!" Don't miss these final appearances by
two of California's most cutting-edge DJs.The Hard Sell exists as a result
of a unique combination of the duo’s shared passions –for
records, for playing them to people, for collecting them as objects and
understanding their tactile properties as well as loving, appreciating
contextualising and recontextualising the sounds they were designed to
reproduce. <br /><br />This is the third part in the trilogy of Cut Chemist
& DJ Shadow collaborations and is probably the most ambitious in its
execution.<br /><b><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Hard Sell Dates</span></b></span><span style="color: #009900;"><b><br /></b></span> <br />

Even moreso when it's free, eh? While I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have a single one of their tunes -- not even the intensely catchy, "<a href="http://uncutvideo.aol.com/videos/39cf751fae1f05b412848a9226c0b77f">Hang Me Up To Dry</a>" -- I've gone out of my way to see Cold War Kids twice. And both times I was wowed out of my socks. So I can personally vouch for the power of their playing. Catch them <a href="http://www.freenyc.net/archives/2008/06/cold_war_kids.php">tonight at</a> <a href="http://www.freenyc.net/archives/2008/06/cold_war_kids.php">Prospect Park Bandshell</a> and see for yourself... free!<br />

He tells me about awesome things like The Breeders rumored to be signed on to play a FREE show at <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tixgirl/collections/72157600095693034/">McCarren Park Pool</a>. (*sigh*) Brooklyn Vegan, you make my day.<br />
<br />
OK, just in case you missed it, allow me to repeat the important stuff: <br />
--The Breeders<br />
--FREE<br />
--McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, that's right kids, <a href="http://newyork.going.com/poolparties">JellyNYC's annual Sunday Pool Parties</a> are back at McCarren for 2008. Hallelujah! I've been lucky enough in the past to catch <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tixgirl/sets/72157594265649227/">?uestlove</a> and Beirut for free, thanks to <a href="http://thepoolparties.com/">JellyNYC</a>. So here's the deets <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/05/jellynyc_confir.html">according to Brooklyn Vegan</a>:<br />
<b><span style="color: #009900;">JellyNYC is confirming that the following artists will play free Sunday shows in Brooklyn's McCarren Pool this summer:</span></b><br />
<blockquote>
<b><span style="color: #009900;">The
Breeders, MGMT, The Hold Steady, Liars, Aesop Rock, Black Lips,
Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons, Matt Kim, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Team
Robespierre, The Loved Ones, Panther, King Khan and His Shrines, &
Ting Tings</span></b></blockquote>
Joy! The last time I saw the Breeders they were opening up for Nirvana. Yes, I am that old. (Shhhh, don't tell anybody.)<br />

<br />
New York's new uber-club, <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tixgirl/collections/72157603023818468/">Terminal 5</a>, was a far cry from the barely 50-member-strong audiences in the dimly lit clubs of Austin for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/explosionsinthesky">Explosions in the Sky</a>, as those in the know fondly recall. And a far cry even from the Warsaw, that Williamsburg haven of indie discoveries in waiting. No, New York wasn't offering a kielbasa with a side of spacey guitar freak-outs, <a href="http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2008/04/tonight_explosi.php">this time around</a>.<br />
<br />

I'm happy for <a href="http://www.explosionsinthesky.com/">Explosions in the Sky</a>, with their hard-earned notoriety and well-deserved place in the pantheon of indie rock. You've come a long way, baby.<br />

<br />
Give <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=040C92DA2252A9D3">Explosions in the Sky's show tonight</a> a listen and you'll understand why so many made their way to the Westernmost reaches of NY's known universe to hear what would normally be a soundtrack at an NYU smoke-fest. They created atmospheres, vibes and energies. If only I could think of any less bohemian adjectives, I'd certainly use them. But, well, listen and you'll get the idea.<br />

P.S. My dream Central Park Summerstage lineup for summer '08: Devendra
Banhart, Grizzly Bear and Explosions in the Sky. Now that would be a
night. Explosions in the Sky, with their heady soundscapes and an
absolute lack of any kind of vocalization, would be a perfect
counterpoint to <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=kJsOlwdFXbs">Grizzly Bear's harmonies</a> and Banhart's freak folk fuzz. And all under a starry night sky. (*sigh*) What do you say, Kara, can you make it<br />
happen? <br />

They're heading back to New York. And guess who they'll be touring with...<br />
<br />
R.E.M.? <br />
<br />
OK, yeah, that sounds odd to me, too. Then again, Modest Mouse has been known to engage in a little hero worship from time to time (read: Johnny Marr of The Smiths, now in the band). So maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.<br />

simultaneously calling into question the very nature of live music?<br />
<br />
It's an odd question, I admit. But the moment you see David Ford perform, that awfully
fuzzy question instantly crystalizes.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2254/2343571664_c16cc45155.jpg?v=0" /><br />
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo by <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/kyledeanreinford/2343571664/in/set-72157604152967603/">Kyle Dean Reinford at Flickr</a></span></i><br />
<br />
Must a band play the instruments at all times in order for a performance to be considered "live"? Anyone who has ever seen a DJ or an electro-pop
band will instantly answer, "no, there's playback, and it's totally
legit." To them I say sure, sure, there's a place for playback in music
today. But playing a canned recording is a far cry from being truly
"live". And that's precisely why most bands don't like to draw much
attention to their reliance on playback.<br />
<br />
OK, so playback isn't precisely live. But what about looping?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/davidford">
Enter the maestro, David Ford</a>. The Englishman's solo live performances are the
stuff legends are made of. Witness the buzz building to a deafening pitch on
blogs and ye olde print medium magazines. What sets Ford apart from the usual
slate of solo singer-songwriters? <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=qv4QBRS-U50">He is a one-man-band</a> -- a fully self-contained orchestra of sounds playing simultaneously, with only one dude on the stage.<br />
<br />
How does he do it? He’s loopy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cemusic.blogspot.com/2008/03/bell-x1-played-bowery-ballroom.html">As Café Eclectica explained so eloquently</a> after catching last
week’s Bowery Ballroom show, “Ford blew me away with his one-man looping band,
where he would play a part of the song, record it in a loop, and continuously
add to it.” With a number of instruments on hand to build out his orchestral
montage, Ford loops to create lush, many-layered, moody atmospheres with his melancholy tunes. It’s an approach that he raises to an art form.<br />
<br />
It also raises that tricky “what is live music” question.
We’ve agreed playback isn’t live, even when it’s used in a live show. But in
the case of David Ford’s loops, where he plays the part right there in front of
you, you can witness for yourself that the first instance of the part was,
indeed, live. And though it is played back repeatedly, it’s not playback.
Dambit Gumby, it IS live.<br />
<br />
And <a href="http://bluerep.blogspot.com/2008/03/bell-x1-david-ford-bowery-ballroom.html">in David Ford’s deft hands</a>, it’s electrifying.
It’s unique. It’s what makes him stand apart from the Damien Rice and David
Grey comparisons. It’s what enables him to stand apart from the lush
backgrounds and refocuses our attention on his emotive vocal performance – the
part he uses to really connect with an<br />
audience. Most importantly, it makes
converts out of all who witness the hitherto unheard of artist, and inspires
them to spread the gospel.<br />
<br />
Check out one of these upcoming shows and witness the loopiness

Here's what Mitchell, Dan and Tim had to say about their <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsxsw.com%2F&ei=b6_gR9yVGIe-iwHbzOWlBg&usg=AFQjCNHv1kq83hF0xBd2MhMLXAqm7e942Q&sig2=FsXrnnxFl5OB33LneD7Flw">SxSW</a> experience, breaking into the US market, and their sound on the (phenomenal!) new album, "In Ghost Colours," hitting the virtual shelves on April 8th.<br />
<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
So I understand you're here in NY fresh from SxSW. How was it?<br />
<br />
<b>Tim:</b><br />
Yeah it was good, it was a busy schedule. A lot busier than last time we were there. A lot more shows, a lot more press. We had a lot going because we have a new record coming out. A lot of Mexican food, as well. It was good, actually.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Mitchell:</b><br />
I looked at our schedule once we got there, and we had no time to see any other bands. So we didn't even really look at who was playing. But we happened to catch about two bands. One of the shows was all suits. Yeah, it was a bit weird - very SxSW experience.<br />
<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
Were the shows down there the size venues you're used to playing?<br />
<br />
<b>Tim:</b><br />
Well I guess it was a bit more intimate, which is kinda good at times, I think. Yeah, I like that, it'sgood. And sometimes you do the big scene, too. I mean they catered it for us, anyway. (laughing)<br />
<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
SxSW isone of those events that's really geared towards breaking bands. And you know exactly what it's like, coming from Australia, to be trying to break into the American market. Have you had any challenges there?<br />
<br />
<b>Dan:</b><br />
Um, not so much, um, we found that a lot of people automatically knew a lot about us already. I guess because we already had a record out, and had toured around on a bus. So we had a bit of an advantage on the bands coming to the States for the first time. If anything it was just a really positive experience. We got some really good size crowds, and a lot of people said we were the best thing they'd seen at the whole event. So yeah, it was really positive. We hadn't released anything or toured in a while, so it was a good thing to get in front of some really key people - the tastemakers and industry people, and especially the real fans who will spread the word about our release when the new record comes out. And it was good for the band to play from the record.<br />

<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
The new album is called "In Ghost Colours" and it's out April 8th. Congratulations on that, by the way. I love it - I was lucky enough to get an advance copy, and everyone I've played it for has been just amazed. I'm curious about the title...<br />
<br />
<b>Tim:</b><br />
With Cut Copy it has always been about the whole creation of our kind of music - past and present. Yeah and I guess it was kind of like that, like ghosts of the past.<br />
<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
Well musically, it harkens to your first album, to me. But it sounds like a bit of a departure from your EP. Were you trying to go in a different direction for the EP, "Lights & Music"?<br />
<br />
<b>Dan:</b><br />
Ah, well, the EP was more like kind of a single, really. At least in Australia. I think releasing it as an EP was more in America. But when you talk about the sound, it's really about the album that's just coming out. With this one, the album is a lot more realized than the first one. I think all of us, when we think of the first one, we agree we sort of got half way there. But on the new one we got a lot closer to the sort of sounds we're after. There are some different aspects to it - more layered, more dynamic, as well as some more loud, dance-y sections to it. And with the guitar there were many-layered sections as well. It got the real highs and lows, the real floaty bits, which I think is sort of a secret to our sound, with a lot of segues so that it just sort of flows together. And I think it's a lot more, kind of... complete.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
I'm curious about how you approach writing. Cuz I mean, it's such an original sound. I hear elements here and there of things that are familiar, whether they're New Order, or maybe a little Brian Ferry. I'm curious how you approach the writing process, and your influences.<br />
<br />
<b>Dan:</b><br />
I guess with us it's just that we like challenging ourselves, and I guess internally exposing each other to all sorts of different music.<br />
<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
It sounds like there's such a scene in Australia right now. Or at least bands are making it over here more. The Presets, Sarah Blasko. I feel like I'm hearing more from Australia than I'm used to hearing. Is it a "scene", so to speak?<br />
<br />
<b>Mitchell:</b><br />
Yeah, I think there are a bunch of bands that are all touring the US at this point. I mean there's us, The Presets, the Midnight Juggernauts... I think it's a bit easier for Australian bands to become more prominent in the US, just because, you know this new modern world of technology. It took the power away from record bosses and gave it to people you know you want to have live with the music. I mean, you've probably heard lots more from Swedish bands, as well, right?<br />

<br />
<b>TixGirl:</b><br />
Right, it kind of cuts down those international barriers. So you're from Melbourne, right? Is Melbourne known as a music city?<br />
<br />
<b>Dan:</b><br />
Yeah, there's a lot of bars, and a lot of bands, and a lot of places to play. So it's definitely a good place if you're just starting out in music.<br />
<br />
<b>Mitchell:</b><br />
Sydney's the biggest city in Australia. But Melbourne is more like the cultural capitol. <br />
