#cut copy

Lights and music are on my mind... Be my baby... one more tiiiiime 🔥🎶🕺🏽🎶

My (probably) last concert for the year finally seeing Cut Copy live after listening to their first three albums so much since 2012 (fond memory of playing their 11-minute "Sun God" track off third album Zonoscope during my short-lived college radio show [as I really needed to use the bathroom lmao]), and listening religiously to their 2011 Coachella set or the one set Triple J in Australia recorded 😁🙂‍↕️🎶

No, it's...

PIZZA DELIVERY!

We got flying pizza boxes, with those pizzas of different toppings, freshly-made and still intact in their boxes. Many landed in front of doors.

At home. At school. Even in dorms.

And yes, there are many many of those pizzas.

"Oh, man, that's fucking awesome."

"Whoa!"

"Looks like we'll be saving on dinner tonight, sis!"

"What's this all about?"

It appeared that Ayra's first instinct was to swing at the falling box with her sword.

"I wonder if this is one of Trainer Mario's antics..."

"Saves me the trouble of making dinner tonight!"

"Ooh, these pizzas are fly."

"This had better not be a bomb."

"This is it! This is the sign!"

"Yeah, it's a sign, all right! I'm losing my mind here!"

"Hey, cheer up, who doesn't love free pizza?"

"You shouldn't eat too much of this greasy, fatty stuff."

"That's a new one."

"Hey, this is cool!"

"Of course you'd think that."

"Not the weirdest thing I've seen today..."

"What would that be?"

"Dogbert."

Alexander Skarsgård – Free Your Mind – Cut Copy (x)

How Cut Copy got Alexander Skarsgård in their video - Dan Whitford:  “Basically we did a show in Rio and Alex Skarsgard actually came down to the show and demanded to come backstage after. He wanted to see us because he wanted to tell us what a massive fan he was. He was telling us this story about how he was shooting a series called Generation Kill in the Kalahari Desert without a break for like four or five months and while he was there his one link back to home was listening to our second record “In Ghost Colours” on repeat. It just took him back to being in Stockholm and partying. The life he was missing out on was represented by that record. So he had this emotional attachment to that album and was a massive fan and he basically came backstage to tell us all this. We ended up hanging out and having this crazy night. The next day he introduced us to his family. He comes from a big family of actors, obviously his Dad’s a massive actor, who were all there with him at the same time. We somehow became best buddies just from hanging out in this 24 hour period and said “if we’re ever in the same place again let’s hang out”. We had such an awesome time.

So when we were thinking about making a video for this new record we thought we’d ask him and see if he would be interested in doing it. Like, no pressure, but if you were up for it that would be awesome. We sent him the song, he loved it and he said “I’m in, let’s make this happen”. It was a very organic thing. I guess like a lot of the stuff we’ve done it’s via people we know or through friends. It was just amazing in this case because that friend happened to be this big shot Hollywood actor who people are quite fanatical about. He’s got quite the set of abs on him. It’s funny, towards the end of the day when all the staff were packing up, the ones that were left was this group of like six or seven different make up girls and hair stylists who found a reason to stick around. Everywhere he went he had this entourage of girls following him around just being like, “Skkkkaaaarrrrsssgggaarrrdd”.”

Cut Copy dropped their latest album, Moments, back in the summer, and with their North American tour behind it soon coming to a close, the Australian electronic quartet sold out Brooklyn Steel on Friday night, inspiring everyone there to shake it into the weekend.
