 My Festival Experience 
 
Cut Copy
We played an amazing festival called T in the Park in Scotland, which was a year and a half ago now, but that was really amazing in terms of being, by far, the biggest crowd we've played infront of, I think it was- we played in the dance tent, and it was the middle of the day, so it wasn't night time craziness, but they packed like 20,000 people into this tent, and it was totally round, it was just the best kind of crowd to be playing infront of, we were really suprised and weren't expecting to get such a big reception, particually in Scotland. We only really had played a handful of shows in Glasgow and hadn't really played anywhere else, so yeah, that's definitely up there.

Ideal Lineup?
We kind of actually had this discussion when we first started playing together, before we even did any shows as Cut Copy, we made up these phoney band names and played a few shows at this pub, sort of on the wrong side of the tracks and a bit run down, you could ring up like the night before and get a gig the next day, so it wasn't really like, you know.. anything amazing. But we booked in, I think a couple of times under false names, just to make sure we could actually play our instruments and do everything before we actually put Cut Copy up on the stage, and I think in that year we sort of had this imaginary- it wasn't like a festival it was kind of the idea of billing this gig where it was us headlining with Sonic Youth, and then Daft Punk would be like the warm up DJs, and that was like our ultimate show, ever! And then we've actually played with Daft Punk at the end of last year so we just feel like we've maybe partly lived that dream a little bit, even though they obviously weren't the warm up DJs for us, but yeah, we've ticked off one of those things at least. All we've got to do now is play with Sonic Youth!
 
 
 
Sarah Blasko

Sarah Blasko brings new album to life on stage!

Sarah Blasko’s live shows have always been renowned for their unique and at times theatrical elements. Her national tour in October to unveil the new album, ‘As Day Follows Night’ promises to be no different.

Recreating the sounds of her highly anticipated third record with core members of her touring band, Sarah will also be introducing some new textures to the ensemble with strings and percussion to augment the line up.

‘As Day Follows Night’ was recorded in Sweden with producer Björn Yttling and it is fitting that Sarah will be embarking on her national Australian dates off the back of the Aarhus Festival in Denmark.

“Sarah’s music has always had an ethereal quality, and together with Björn she has made what will be one of the most interesting and beautiful Australian albums of 2009.” êêêê1/2 JMag, July 2009.

“Produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Björn and John in Stockholm, the irony is that despite the freezing climate it was recorded in, this is as warm as Blasko has ever sounded – immaculate, organic and airy… there’s also a sense of freedom, and a feeling that the listener has been invited in to enjoy Blasko’s brilliance, not just forced to admire it from a distance.” êêêê Rolling Stone, July 2009.

El Perro Del Mar will be joining Sarah as special guest support, playing as an intimate two-piece. This will be the acclaimed Swede's first Australian tour and an optimum opportunity to hear the songs from her third album 'Love Is Not Pop', released in mid-September.

El Perro Del Mar says of the album: “Lou Reed...has been the spark and the main influence for me all throughout the work of 'Love Is Not Pop'...the dream of a pure love in a dirty world.'

‘As Day Follows Night’ is due out on July 10th through Dew Proces/UMA. Buy a ticket to a show before July the 17th, and you can pre-order a download of the album for only $10.
