It was a DJ who began Cut Copy in 2001. Dan Whitford began playing around with keyboards and a sampler while he was attending college (and hosting a radio show) in Melbourne, Australia. That eventually led to a demo tape submission and the gradual addition of band members. Whitford came up with the band's name by randomly choosing words from the edit menu of his computer. The Cut Copy (sometimes known as Cut/Copy) debut full-length album was released in 2004. Haiku From Zero is album number five; it's highly danceable and harkens back to the early 1980's New Wave era.
