ROCK DA WORLD Radio with LADYTRON Mar19 09 Pt1
ROCK DA WORLD DJs Daniele Davoli and Chris Lloyd provide the latest in Rock’n’Rave Electro, featuring ‘The Girls’ & Lucy Arrowsmith.
This week:…we are joined glam rock fashion plates Ladytron. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, there definitely ain’t no one like ‘em. Ladytron is a perfectly named group, as its music consists primarily of girls singing — there’s the lady — and weird robotic synth-derived sounds — the tron. The name comes from a song off Roxy Music’s first album, which came out in 1972, and Ladytron’s dance-pop art-primitivism touches on numerous musical points between then and now, including Kraftwerk, Devo, Suicide, Gary Numan, New Order, and their synth-trash contemporaries, Chicks on Speed, all of it delivered with the self-mocking Eurotrash glamminess pioneered by the Roxies and David Bowie. If you want guitars, you’re looking in the wrong place. If you want ironic disco-pop, Ladytron is just your ticket!! This is PART 1.
