I’ll be gone next semester, but if I wasn’t, I’d be at the show in Chicago. You can never get enough Cut Copy. Their show last month with The Presets at the Metro was one of the best concerts I’ve been to in years. God, I want to go to that show again. Brooklyn’s best bf/gf group, Matt and Kim will support the tour. If you’re a fan of either of these bands, definitely be sure to make it out.

Check out these remixes. The rework of this Kaiser Chiefs song is the latest remix by Cut Copy and it’s freaking cool. It builds and drives with the vocal track. A-trak’s remix of ‘Bounce’ is another stunner, probably on par with Mansion’s take. Also check out the stuff by Shazam. He’s a kid from Perth that’s making some really good music. His remix of Muscles is especially good and his house take on the Dizzee Rascal track is worth checking out. Can someone buy me this computer?

Felix Cartal’s remix of ‘Bounce’ is out. Personally I dig the Mansion rework I posted last Wednesday a lot more, but you decide. Definitely check out the Riton remix of Hercules and Love Affair and always listen to anything put out by Alan Braxe. There’s some exiting stuff coming soon. I have some interviews lined up, a review of the Cut Copy/Presets show tonight at the Metro, and have been contacted by Muse Records to do some promotional work for their upcoming Chicago shows. Stay tuned.

Australia’s psychedelic revolution is underway. In Perth, three guys have come together to form what music needs, rock ‘n roll. Tame Impala’s mission is to play in large, grassy areas and record music in their homes for you to download. Their myspace caption reads, “music to download on sunny days.” Remember Me is just that. Go to their SITE right now and download this song. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. This song has been my favorite morning music for the past couple weeks. I need to send credit over to Ian LeSueur for sending this song my way. See what Mad Decent had to say. Ian is headed to Melbourne this fall to become famous. You should probably add him on Myspace now.

The group is signed to Australian’s Modular records. Founded by Steve Pavlovic, the label has grown quickly since 2004’s release of the Avalanche’s and Cut Copy’s debut albums. Regardless, this group is worth checking out. Follow this sound and really watch for it to spread everywhere. Do you have any tie-dye?

The Australian music scene is maxxed out with electronica. With Cut Copy’s sophomore release imminent, Midnight Juggernauts planning their debut for later this year, and now Van She publicizing ‘Cat & the Eye‘, get ready for Australia to beat France in this blogowar. ‘Cat & the Eye’ was posted on Van She’s website last year, but it’s finally out in physical form now. No information on a US release, but I am sure it will either be on iTunes or easily found on the internet.

Imo, Van She produced one of the best songs of the past couple years, ‘Kelly‘ back in 2005. I still listen to it a couple times a week. If your ready for the coolest thing ever, check below.

Be sure to listen to their new single too, although I don’t think they’ll ever top Kelly.

Probably one of my favorite bands, Cut Copy has ruled the electronic/rock scene since 2004 with their debut release of Bight Like Neon Love. Ever since then they have road pretty low on the radar. The trio is from Australia and is working with Tim Goldsworthy from DFA on their followup album due out in February 2008. The first two singles of the upcoming album, In Ghost Colours, have been ‘Hearts on Fire’ and ‘So Haunted’. These tracks are both great in my eyes, but I think it’s time to spread the wealth off the first album.

Check after the jump for music.
