Allan’s World of Music

Ladytron is a very popular English electro band that received pretty solid if not good reviews for their recently released album Velocifero. I will be reviewing their album later this month or by next month but it was definitely recommended to me for some time. There are a ton of Ladytron fans and Ladytron themselves are nice enough to play four Canadian dates before kicking off their European part of their tour. The fact that they are playing in Quebec City and Ottawa is awesome because those cities need loving too. As Torontonians we’re grossly spoiled with getting bands to come here (even if the Sens suck, Ottawa could use more bands coming there).

The Canadian dates are:
July 2 - Metropolis Jazz Fest - Montreal
July 3 - Theatre Imperial Summer Festival - Quebec City
July 4 - Harbourfront Centre - Toronto
July 5 - Blues Fest - Ottawa

To celebrate these Canadian tours, Nettwerk wanted to celebrate by dishing out some free stuff and free stuff is the shit. Nettwerk is giving away 3 packages that includes a CD of Velocifero and a Ladytron tote bag.

Here are the rules:
1. To Enter all you have to do is leave a comment to this post while filling out the e-mail in the accompanied form. No e-mail no entry. You can also leave your e-mail in your comment but I wouldn’t do that unless you love spam.
2. One entry per person, it’s not a big giveaway.
3. Contest is open to anyone, anywhere. Unlike the Ting Tings contest which was just for Canadians.
4. Winners will be selected randomly and will then be contacted by e-mail in which I will ask for your mailing address.
5. Contest ends July 2nd, Ladytron’s first Canadian date.

   Can’t you blog about normal nipples? That would definitely increase the interest I have in your site lol.

   Saw Ladytron at Bonnaroo last weekend with ten thousand other sweaty stoners in a muddy tent in the middle of the sweltering Tennessee afternoon - completely different (in a great way) synth vibe than the rest of the festival - favorite song of their set was Seventeen, which had everyone singing along. Highly recommend their show. p.s. good blog / good contest.

    Ladytron are consistently good. Search out their cover version of the Human League’s “Open your Heart”. File next to Client and the recent Long Blondes Album, “Couples”.

    Great Blog by the way - keep up the good work.

    Bonjour! Hi!

    I’m from Montreal and I’m doing a “road trip” with Ladytron. I first saw them in Montreal on July 2, then saw them in Quebec City on July 3 and I’m going for Ottawa blues fest tomorrow.

    The show is excellent. Lights effects are magic. No joke! Behind them, there is a kind of wall full of orange lights, that could seen as stars in the galaxy. Ladytron’s guy in front are kind of shadowy figures (like ghosts…). The effect remember me the presence of celest objects, too. It’s amazing.

    The set list is clever and I danced a lot. I appreciated so much in Quebec City when Mira and Helen were laughing together. Don’t know exactly why, but I was so happy to see that!

    Personnaly, I wish that I will one day once listen to “Commodore Rock” live. Maybe am I the only one here, but I have to tell it!

    I’m so exciting to see Ladytron on an outside scene tomorrow. I imagine everything. The show will be at 6pm, on daylight, so the atmosphere will be totally different.

    I love you so much!

    Thank you to be here and to play in multiples city near mine!
