Cutaways Play London, Liverpool Next Week

Friends of STA Cutaways will be deploying their two boys, one girl, two synths, one guitar, a drum kit and bags full of hooks and melodies on London and Liverpool next week. Since self-releasing their jagged and boisterous pop gem of a debut album ‘Earth and Earthly Things’ last summer they have taken their vibrant live show all across Ireland, playing with the likes of Wild Beasts and Emmy the Great while also touring the UK and Canada. They come armed with new 2nd album material next week:

Club Fandango @ The Buffalo Bar (18/5-Onstage @10.30)
The Good Ship, Kilburn (19/5)
The Metropolitan @ Liverpool Sound City w/ Cashier No. 9, Kowalski, Axis Of (20/5)
Eurocultured Festival, Manchester (30/5)

Public Service Blogcast Episode 59

Cutaways use two boys, one girl, two synths, one guitar, a drum kit and bags full of hooks and melodies to make their jagged and boisterous pop music. 2009 saw the NME hailing the Belfast trio as "your new favourite band" and Ireland's Hot Press and AU magazines both name Cutaways as one of the bands to watch. In March the band made their first TV appearance on ITV1’s 'Live at The Limelight' while the summer saw them play a number of key festivals including headlining Belfast Pride and also taking in Indie Week Ireland, Glasgowbury and Feile Festival.

Paul, Grace and Ryan take a break from recording album #2 - lierally as you will hear - to takeover this blogcast. Belfast residents take note of the Cutaways Xmas Party! Xposure @ Auntie Annies on December 16th!
