Ladytron? SO good live. The show was at the Metro in Chicago, which was a fun and surprisingly intimate venue. The opening act consisted of two guys in oversized t-shirts and tight pants called The Presets who played some jaunty and danceable electroclash. Seemed to go on for a while, but good stuff.
Ladytron came out after what seemed like a long time. Totally hot though. Helen and Mira were both femmed out in black, low-cut, knee-length dresses and wee little black boots. Daniel is still looking hot, sleazestache and all. Ruben is always hot. The band started off with "High Rise" and then went on to play almost everything else on Witching Hour, with my surprise favorite being "The Last One Standing". They also played some of the best stuff from the two previous albums: "Seventeen", "Playgirl", "Discotraxx", "True Mathematics", "Evil", "Blue Jeans" and a few others. We were up in the balcony area with a good view and plenty of room to dance and act a fool, and Gina and I made sure to capitalize on that.
I give the show an A+, but I probably still would if they came out and only did interpretive dances to Rod Stewart songs. Actually, that would have been kind of awesome.
Here are some YouTube links to some of their music videos. I don't really understand them entirely, but they're fun to watch:
"Sugar"
"Destroy Everything You Touch"
"Seventeen"
"Playgirl"
