Yeah, so I’m in Los Angeles taking a nice (and well needed) vacation. I went to a cool show last night that I thought I’d share my experience. I saw Ladytron last night at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. It was pretty cool. The opening band was Data Rock and though I’ve heard of them, I had no idea what to expect. They were funny - in a sort of ridiculous way - and they played a wide variety of stuff. Much of their music was indie rock, but they were having fun doing it and not trying to adhere to any fashion or popular ideas - at least none that I could detect. Ladytron came on next (and last) and they were pretty damn good. They were a six piece instead of a four (added a drummer and a bass player) and it worked. The two lovely female singers were belting out the tunes and chatting with the audience. I dug it. I was expecting them to play only newer stuff but they surprised me by playing a lot of their older tunes. I admit that some of the songs didn’t sound as good to me live, but it didn’t matter because I was having a great time being there and enjoying the music. After the show we went to a late night restaurant called Fred’s (or Fred 82) in Silverlake which is a haven for hipsters. What else to say? Nada.
