Tonight: Depeche Mode Vs. New Order Dance Party

April 4, 2014

If these dance parties are any indication, the 80’s must have been a tough time for fans of British music, you constantly had to pick a side. The Smiths vs. The Cure, Depeche Mode vs. New Order, Wham vs. Boy George. Ok, I pulled the third one out of my ass but still, tonight’s dance party is the second in a series of knock down drag out fights where the only winner is you and your need to dance.

Those who have seen the band before know that their live shows are not to be missed. If you are unfamiliar with the opener, the Hamilton, Ontario based Jessy Lanza released the amazing Pull My Hair Back last year on Hyperdub.

Lanza’s icey grooves and spacey vocals make her an excellent opener for Cut Copy and this is definitely a show you should get to early. Cut Copy w/Jessy Lanza Town Ballroom $26 Doors at 7pm
