I remember hearing it but not sure of the time frame. It's by Desireless. Ladytron was a great show throughout, it was better than I expected since their songs sort of tend to sound the same after a while. I thought the two <I>chanteuses</I> seemed a bit reserved and shy, but that's understandable it being their first US tour. And 2 encores, what a treat! (did you hear the guy yell out 'who does your hair?' haha)
Ladytron
yeah, that was funny. btw, were you down in the back bar before the show started, with another girl and a guy? at the end of the bar? <P>and i think another bber was standing next to me with his girlfriend and another couple during the show. they had accidentally displaced the couple that was standing next to me who had put their coats on the barrier but then gone to get food. when they came bak, they ended up getting bumped about 6 feet down. sorry to you two, i did a crap job of holding your space and i thought those 4 were just standing there and were going to let you move back into your spots since your coats were there. <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dandy01:<BR><B> (did you hear the guy yell out 'who does your hair?' haha)</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><p>[This message has been edited by lily1 (edited 02-18-2003).]
hmm, two girls put their coats on the barrier next to me (right side of stage) and then never came back for them the whole show…..it was kind of strange, as i thought they were putting them there to "secure" their spot…but never came back, heh. <P>the hair comment was pretty funny.

We then went upstairs during the Simian set though and stood right in the middle in front of the rails for Ladytron. Never mind, you said 'back bar,' I wasn't there at all.
By the way, props to the 9:30 staff for allowing patrons of the show to park free in their lot!

Another DJ song ID request from the show - it's the song that was played before Ladytron came on, preceding "Sussudio" (ugh). It had a hard mid-to-late-80s electro groove, with a female rapper, with the line "cause we wanna make you jump" repeated in the chorus. I don't think the song is actually FROM the 80s - there was some DSP effects thrown in that were definitely ProTools-isms…<P>TIA,<P>-Chris
