Cut Copy is a band from Melbourne, Australia. Their sound, often labeled as indie dance and/or electroclash , draws considerable influence from 80s new wave and post punk genres.
The band began in 2001 as the project of Dan Whitford. In 2003 Whitford recruited additional members, and in 2005 toured internationally for the first time, visiting London, New York and Los Angeles. They have toured with international acts Franz Ferdinand, Junior Senior, Bloc Party, and Mylo amongst others; in December of 2007, the band toured Australia with Daft Punk on the Nevereverland tour, the Sydney leg of which attracted a crowd of almost 50,000.
Cut Copy is managed by Supervision, and is signed to the record label Modular Recordings, home of Wolfmother, The Presets and the New Young Pony Club.
In 2004 Cut Copy released their debut LP, Bright Like Neon Love. The music is written and produced by frontman Dan Whitford, who is also a graphic designer and DJ. In 2007 the band announced and completed In Ghost Colours, their sophomore album, yet it's Australian release was delayed until March 22nd of 2008 in order to coincide with an international release.
