Shiny, glittery, subversive pop music. Ladytron rose out of the industrial wasteland of Liverpool and emerged with their own brand of pristine, tightly structured synth pop with instant hits like He Took Her To A Movie and Playgirl. Ladytron shaped the sound of electroclash before the style even had a name.
Their albums 604, Light & Magic and Witching Hour have established Ladytron’s unique style of heartbroken disco, mashing vintage synths and the Kraftwerk-esque dual female vocals.
Ladytron have lent their trademark sound on remixes for the likes of Bloc Party, Bonde Do Role, Felix Da Housecat, Placebo and Nine Inch Nails. Sold out tours through North America, Europe, China and Latin America and support slots for Nine Inch Nails and The Chemical Brothers show the diverse audiences the dynamic four piece attract.
Ladytron are back with their fourth album, Velocifero, a tantalising piece of distorted soul drawing on the wealth of two decades of electronica, new wave and rock, combining their edgy digital sound with the contrasting soulful vocals of Mira and Helena over a depth not seen in their earlier work.
Witness these savvy purveyors of sinister pop as they embark on their first ever tour of Australia, supported by the “Kitsune-style electro-pop” of Swedish 2-piece Familjen who currently have their song “_Det Snurrar I Min Skalle_” on mega rotation on Triple J.
Exclusive pre-release tickets here at Same Same from Monday 21st July, then standard tickets on sale 9am Thursday 24th July.
* Familjen supporting on all dates except Perth
