Ladytron and CSS
Marlena and I went to see Ladytron play in Dallas over the weekend. It was FANTASTIC!!!
CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy or "tired of being sexy" in English) opened up for them, I had seen one of their videos on YouTube and enjoyed it, but was not prepared for the rockin' performance they had stored up for the show. They reminded me a little bit of an 80's band in their fashion and electro-based music, but the thing that really sold them for me was their devil may care attitude. They were just running around, playing their songs, acting goofy and having a good time. They put on a really great show and I would recommend them highly. I don't know if this was just our show, but the lead singer was constantly pulling down her pants to show off her purple panties. It was very odd, but very funny.
Ladytron came out and did an amazing set. They are from London and this was their first show in Texas EVER. They seemed a little stand-offish at first, like they didn't know what kind of reaction they were going to get (People are sometime amazed when they come to Texas and discover that not everyone wears a cowboy hat and rides a horse to work), but with foreign relations being the way they are, and since President Bush is kinda from Texas(He wasn't born here, but was our Governor), I always wonder how we are viewed by people from other countries. Not that Ladytron is a political band or anything, they just seemed a little worried. After a few songs they loosened up a lot and really enjoyed themselves. We had a wonderful time.
If you are not familiar with either band and enjoy female vocal lead Electro-type music check them out. It's good stuff.

My mission in life is to turn people on to Ladytron. Along with curing cancer, discovering time travel and making rice krispies stay crunchy in milk.
I'm glad you were one of my first converts. :)
