Episode 251: Ladytron

VHF-251 (Ladytron) explores tracks from nearly all of the twenty plus years of the UK group. Self described as a Pop band the group has a lot of club hits but so far hasn’t really cracked the US market. Big at home and in Europe, the ABBA meets Kraftwerk mash up is both accepted and appreciated. Critical darlings on occasion, like most rock bands they can’t sound too different but they also can’t repeat themselves. It’s a Catch 22 scenario. 

Not Dead Yet Mike plays some deep cuts as well as the club hits that shows a range the group might not be widely recognized for. Creepy lyrics occasionally cover topics such as ghosts, disembodied spirits, car crash fatalities and of course black cats. It’s not all boy meets girl tunes with Ladytron!
