Cut Off Your Hands - Happy As Can Be

The band are fresh from being nominated for a Breakthrough Artist Of The Year award at the 2008 Vodafone New Zealand music awards. This annual awards ceremony is the New Zealand equivalent of The Brits and it will be the first time Cut Off Your Hands have received a nomination; they are up against two other acts including Flight of the Conchords. The ceremony takes place on the eve of their debut album release in New Zealand and Australia on October 6th 2008. After performing at the awards in New Zealand, the band will return to the UK to resume their current tour as part of the Freshers tour.

In their short time on both record and stage, Cut Off Your Hands have created a slew of melodic and downright memorable music. From the romantic naivety of Oh Girl and Happy As Can Be, to the speeding, hyper-love balladry of the pop-paean Still Fond, the four-piece have shown they've got what it takes to grab the world by it's collective scruff and shake them into spinning, lovesick action. Not so sweet as perhaps their lyrics might suggest, (lyrics which should be heard with a heavy dose of irony) Cut off Your Hands live show should come with a health and safety warning.
