“Summer is here and something about it just seems to take years off. You feel 18 again while biking with friends at night, swerving on and off the sidewalk down Kent Ave, or driving to Rockaway Beach with the windows down and your crappy stereo turned up. But the best part is while you’re turning those years back you can shed off some of that bullshit that’s been building up on your shoulders and weighing you down. Just take everything a few steps back, put on some music that you hold close, and make this summer all about you.”

Throughout the month of July, Matt & Kim will play a mix of festival dates, Bacardi B-LIVE shows, and a FREE headlining show at Pier 54 in NYC at 14th Street. Tix to their August/September tour go on sale this Saturday, June 27th. All dates below.

Cut Copy are pleased to announce their final run through N. America in support for In Ghost Colours. This 17 date trek will be the last shows they do before they retire to the studio to complete the ideas swimming in their heads and on their laptops for the next record. They are pleased to be playing a number of cities for the first time, as well as visiting some of the places where they had previously thrown down with Black Kids and Presets. Joining them on this trip will be Brooklyn’s own Matt & Kim (which should make for an amazingly energetic night), an awesome light show and a special surprise DJ.
