The last of Noah and the Whale you’ll see in a while…
Noah and the Whale have been busy working on their third album, all the while making time to play some festival dates here and there. However, this Saturday July 10th at Somerset House will be your last chance to catch the boys live before they hide away in California to begin their final album session with producer Jason Lader.
Some tickets are still available, so grab ‘em now! Who knows, you might be lucky enough to hear some new material like this song they played recently at Manchester Cathedral:
If this song is anything to go on, album #3 is going to blow us away! Love.
New Futureheads video!!
The Futureheads have a new video for latest single “I Can Do That”. Check it out below!
This song is pretty much the soundtrack to my current job-search woes.

New Cut Copy album! Lolla after show!
Recently Pitchfork caught up with Cut Copy and asked them the usual questions about their new album. You can check that interview out here.
Some highlights:
- No title for new album yet, produced by Ben Allen
- Plan to debut new songs this summer
- New songs sound more “groove-based and less rock than In Ghost Colours“
- Dan says a choir and strings are possibility
- Turned down opening for Lady Gaga, Dan says: “It was one of those weird moments where you’re not sure whether to burn the letter or frame it and put it on your wall. We were simultaneously repulsed but also tantalized by the idea of touring with her for a whole year.”
The interview also included a short video of the band recording their album in an Australian warehouse. Watch and be amazeddddd:
GOOD NEWS: For all those folks who couldn’t shell out the bug bucks to see them at Lollapalooza, Cut Copy will be playing an exclusive after show at the Metro on August 6th!!
BAD NEWS: The show is already sold out. You had to act quick! For those who wasted no time, I’ll see you on the dance floor!
