Video: Cut Copy Pt1 - Making of the 3rd Album

Music: Tim & Jean

Tim & Jean were obviously made for my ears. And ya, there are some major similarities to Passion Pit. But there is also just enough Cut Copy in there to make me realize that these guy are from down under. I'm interested to see where these guys go.

Music: Knightlife

Knightlife is an electro dance artist from Melbourne, Australia. He's toured North America opening for Cut Copy but other than that likes to remain anonymous. And he's remixed Cut Copy, Midnight Juggernauts, Bag Raiders. Speaking of which, when did it become that you gauged the caliber of an artist by who they've remixed??

Music: Data District

Here's some 80s electro that comes from us from sunny California. Musician, producer, DJ - Data District. Could be put into the same boat as Cut Copy, M83, and even Pnau. Kids eat this up. I just really want to be a kid again.

Music: Grafton Primary

Grafton Primary is another electro act from Australia. I refuse to stop writing about bands from Australia. They're expanding on that sound that you know I love; Pnau, Bag Raiders, The Presets, Cut Copy. GET IN LINE!! The things that only people born an island can dream up.



Check out their video for Relativity and try not to think about Freddie Mercury:

Music: Bag Raiders

Bag Raiders are an Australian duo and just one more reason why I need to relocated the entire Australian music scene to Toronto. They've remixed Cut Copy, Kid Sister and Midnight Juggernauts. Their song "Shooting Star" needs to be on some sort of top ten list.



Here's a short clip of them performing their single "Shooting Stars" at Parklife in Australia

Music: Damn Arms

There's this sound that keeps coming out of Australia that makes me realize why beaches are necessary to happiness. Or is it the koalas? Either way, Aussie's have the electro/dance scene covered. Damn Arms are one of the new gems that I came across that I've had on permanent repeat the last week. They've remixed Cut Copy and been remixed by Midnight Juggernauts.

The double sided single which features Destination Pt. I and Destination Pt. II (both tracks can be streamed from their myspace)

Miami Beach is a nice place.

A place where everything is bigger and shinier.

It's a wonderful setting for an advertising award show.

And the last place you'd expect to run into Ralph Steadman - the legendary illustrator/artist/author and the longtime collaborator/friend of Gonzo aka Hunter S Thompson.

In this episode - we talk to Ralph and find out what he thinks about advertising.
