SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD!

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD! (separate shows!) A couple of great concerts have been announced today for fans of electronic music - both new and pioneering! Aside from both concerts just being announced today, I thought I'd post them together because Cut Copy are clearly one of many bands that have been influenced by OMD - they sound particularly similar on their recent single 'Need You Now'...



Now compare that with OMD's 'If You Leave' from John Hughes classic 1986 film 'Pretty In Pink'...



Cut Copy will be coming to Vancouver on October 7th to perform at the Vogue. Pre-sale tickets are available NOW (as of noon today) through their internet community here: http://tixx1.artistarena.com/cutcopy/

Cut Copy are touring in support of their latest album 'Zonoscope' and they've announced that these new dates throughout September and October will be their final North American headlining shows in support of this record. They've also announced that 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution' will be the next official single and it will be released on August 9th digitally, followed by a release on 12" vinyl shortly after. The package will include remixes from Toro Y Moi, Chicken Lips, Das Moth & Kenji Takimi, Tornado Wallace, and Henning Furst.

Here's the new remix of 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution" by Chazwick Bundick aka Tori Y Moi... Enjoy!

Also announced today is the Georgia Straight presentation of OMD! Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark are coming to Vancouver on Sept. 30th to perform at the Commodore. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster this Friday, but there's also a pre-sale starting tomorrow at 10am. You can find out more info here: http://www.straight.com/article-402304/vancouver/georgia-straight-presents-omd-commodore-ballroom 
(password hint: their latest album is called 'History Of ______')  :)

The synthpop pioneers are touring in support of their 11th studio album called 'History Of Modern' which was released last fall. 'History Of Modern (Part 1)' was released as the third single from the album a few months ago and the band had a contest inviting fans to make a video. This was the winner... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! OMD!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! O.M.D. - 'History Of Modern (Part 1)' For the first time in 14 years Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark released a new album - and it's also the first time since 1989 that it included both founding members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys! They first reformed in 2007, and after two years of sellout tours they released their new album entitled 'History Of Modern' on Sept. 20th. They've released two official singles so far - 'If You Want It' and 'Sister Marie Says' - but I think this track is way stronger. It sounds very modern but at the same time like classic OMD - if they don't release this as the next single they're totally missing out on a potential hit - plus I'd love to see some remixes of this one! This is part 1 of the two part title track 'History Of Modern' - and it's most certainly one of my favorites songs of 2010... Enjoy!
