It's only the bloomin CMJ Music Marathon in New York this week - hurrah. Among the bands due to play are kiwi indie types Cut Off Your Hands, who have five shows in NYC during CMJ. I'm mentioning them because the US dates coincide with an announcement from Frenchkiss Records that they'll release a new EP from the band - the 'Happy As Can Be EP' - in the US later this month. I think Frenchkiss will also release the band's Bernard Butler produced debut album 'You And I' Stateside, probably early next year.
If you're going to the CMJ, you can catch Cut Off Your Hands at these shows...
