Note:
Read an interview with Ladyhawke on Flavorwire and enter to win a pair of tickets to the show. Due to illness Ida Maria will not be performing and has been replaced by Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. Refunds are available at point of purchase.
Ladyhawke took her stage name from the eponymous cult film perhaps remembered most vividly for its soundtrack, which miraculously incorporates just about every cheesy musical element of the mid-'80s. While most musicians wouldn't actively seek out an association with what might be the most dated soundtrack of all time, Ladyhawke is obviously comfortable with the implications. Her synth-heavy electro-pop worships the guilty pleasures of the '80s, and her knack for emulating the shimmering, glossy, and mindless fun of Hughes-era pop is almost as impressive as her deft compositional hand and way with an irresistible hook. Brown is joined tonight by electro-rockers Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. It's a bill that almost makes us forget just who's behind it. Almost.
