Bought a ticket for the 2023 show in Seattle today. Started listening to this band after hearing them on the University of Calgary’s independent radio station, over 20 years. Needless to say I’m looking forward to seeing them live.
I love it that you can just put on an album and hardly have to skip a song. And it's so various in style, the songs are all different but still they manage to always touch the right strokes. Amazing and underrated. I thank the people who decided to use their song ghosts in the game Need for Speed otherwise I would have never heard of Ladytron.
Agreed. That's why they're my favorite band! Glad video games exposed them to many other! Was never a huge NFS fan, but many other games brought to other artists in the past!
Given how complex their music is I don't blame them for looking tense when performing live. It's one thing to sit together and edit these compositions piece by piece in a studio, it's quite another to execute multiple layers of synth which interact with the vocals in real time.
There is a nakedness to their sound. It reminds me of The Fall, somehow. I mean, they don't sound anything like each other, but it's this sense of driving, this attitude that's not morose or harmful, but has a violent edge to it. Great stuff, it doesn't age badly, it retains the initial effect over time. Thanks for this, and thanks to Ladytron.
You are Bulgarian? if so... can I ask you a question?..... You see... I don't trust Google Translator. Could you give me a rough translation of what "True Mathematics" lyrics are saying? if you have the time... thank you.
@@luisditaa Sure, this is a literal translation so the rhymes are lost. I also tried to keep the flow of the words so the word order may not be the best in English: The Sun crosses their rainbow On the sand they are drawing a brilliant light Around (through) the town they run Here and there they peek Quickly they dress up Attention they don't draw Suncho puts them to sleep in the warm couch Quietly they will count to six hundred and one (x2) Suncho is a cartoon character who sings a lullaby to the children in order to get them to sleep. It's somewhat similar to Sandman.
@@luisditaa Fun fact that probably 90% of the fans are missing (except Bulgarians :D) - there are random voiceovers panned left and right in the track. They seem to be random exclamations from Mira to a child (or children) - things like "what are you doing now, come here" etc.
Old gear sounds amazing and looks great, we’ve all done it, dragging stuff up staircases to play to a dozen people 😂 Cool band are Ladytron, very cool. A big regret never catching these play live. Big thanks to the person that posted this up.
I'm so glad to see this whole video set online. This live version of "discotraxx" is my all time favorite. It was on here then deleted a year or so back. I was bummed, but I knew there was hope!
Music for intergalaxial travels. Watching out the window looking at the black hole in the center of the Milkyway Galaxy turn like an old grindstone, slowly it turns and turns.
I've heard 1000s of bands while hanging around various venues and these Ladytrons have some interesting vibes that awaken your senses. I'm curious what they would sound like with slower songs, weaving their magic into a simpler fabric. At times the lyrics are a little creepy, but their creativity is inspiring.
I've known about them for a while, but only started getting really into them THIS year. Seeing them in November!! Was always smitten for Mira, but damn Helen is smokin' cute here!
Just my opinion but I love the heavy classic bass line, and mellow electric tunes. A classic sounding band i can pop open a brew and spark a number with a few friends and chill the evening away. ♥️☮️
I may actually go back to work and hope these guys turn up on one of stages in the future . I may even have worked a stage with them in the past! Too Many Stages! Too many bands! How can I possibly remember everything
They seem to be exhausted at some point. Reminded me of Cocteau Twins: they don’t need live performance to sound cool. Although, as those ones, they sound epic as well!
@@AquarianX I understand that the comparison that the guy made was for the purpose of putting both groups on the same level. If he associated them, it is because he knows both and likes them both. But when you say "this sounds like this other one" you deny the particularity of each of the musicians. All the people say "Motorama sounds Joy Division" and when people ask Motorama about Joy Division they answer "we don't know them", how to explain that? There is no way. There are influences, and they are undeniable, but no artist sounds more than himself.

This is an incredible band that I had the chance to re-connect with during the pandemic. So incredible to this day!
Helen so tense, all look stressed, ha ha. They are great to see this way too! Love ! Beautiful band.

Wow! Those old synth are a lot to move for half an hour session.
Love Ladytron!
When they first started touring. They would have to buy synths on EBAY if one happened to fail. LOL, best band ever!
Old gear sounds amazing and looks great, we’ve all done it, dragging stuff up staircases to play to a dozen people 😂
Cool band are Ladytron, very cool. A big regret never catching these play live.
Big thanks to the person that posted this up.
Love this band so much. We need more Ladytron in the world. Such a unique sound.
Still watching this and loving it in 2024.. Versus is my fave.
I'm so glad to see this whole video set online. This live version of "discotraxx" is my all time favorite. It was on here then deleted a year or so back. I was bummed, but I knew there was hope!
"Tomorrow" haunts me. So brilliant and beautiful. I love Ladytron. Thank you so kindly for sharing.
🌹
Me too!! I love that song so much!!
This performance of Ladytron is really good!! It sounds great in that studio environment.
Mira will always be a crush of mine, what a badass, got a degree in biochemistry and plays in one of the coolest bands of the 00s :))
The voice of the host, damn!
this version of black cat 😍😍😍
glad this is back..fave live version of destroy everything you touch..voice is awesome
This why i love ladytron.they are great live
Thanks so much for uploading. I think this is the best live version of them on youtube by far.
July 2019, still listening !!!
Who cares....
@@BrianYoungauthor Bad boy :(
Ah, 2020 almost over but still listening:)
Helen's voice through that system makes my eyes water
Her voice is devastating like a frozen laser beam
Adore Ladytron❤ 2024 Russia
I'll always adore this band , always
I really enjoy this... It's nice to see again this performance of Ladytron because, it had been removed from here
...so thank you!
The most beautiful couple of girls I ever seen
Destroy everything you touch - best song ever. On my playlist since i have heard it.
Cuanta vanguardia, venían del futuro, unos genios, esto es puro indiepop actual (del bueno)
Holy shit!!! I was at the show in Hollywood later that night.
thank you for uploading this!
This whole concert is dope af 😮💨😂
last time - on keyboard = boss (roland) I love Korg (it is there), now I have Arturia - pure synth. Thank You for this songs.
Wonderful performance
I Love Ladytron 🖤
Me too :)
they sounds very well in live
Jest niesamowita,vocal the best,bez nutki fałszu,piękny głos.
Love the commercials in the middle of the set!
awesome sound, great band, love the live sound!
Music for intergalaxial travels. Watching out the window looking at the black hole in the center of the Milkyway Galaxy turn like an old grindstone, slowly it turns and turns.
their music is incredibly atmospheric I thought it was just me who thought this lol
Amazing to hear my favorite song here…black cat:)
I've heard 1000s of bands while hanging around various venues and these Ladytrons have some interesting vibes that awaken your senses. I'm curious what they would sound like with slower songs, weaving their magic into a simpler fabric. At times the lyrics are a little creepy, but their creativity is inspiring.
Also I love Helen's voice as much as I like Mira's accent.
My girlfriend's sister introduced me to ladytron in highschool the early 2000s she knew all the hipster music
Lot of art here, they're great
I’ve seen them twice always a good show !
I love Ladytron, they re so good live or albums ...Everything they touch...One of my fav bands...❤❤
What a set. I forgot how great this band are, and good morning becomes eclectic live sessions were. Good times, simpler times
Saw Ladytron and The Faint at the Fillmore in SF. Was lucky to see all three of their performances there. Such a great band. Amazing concerts.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
They r awesome!!!
Genius, thank you God !
Summer 2020, still listening 👍❤️❤️❤️
Seeing Ladytron tonight in NYC at Irving Plaza!
They're so talented and beautiful!!! Im waiting for official LIVE!!!!!!
what an amazing song. Reminds me when i was in Highschool
We are seeing them at KOKO London March 2023. The new album is great
Wow this is cool! Like these magical beings entered your radio studio and took over.
Versus is such a weird song but I absolutely love it!
D Man-G absolutely brilliant ain't it
Great song. If some talented doom metal band covered this, it could kill
I've known about them for a while, but only started getting really into them THIS year. Seeing them in November!!
Was always smitten for Mira, but damn Helen is smokin' cute here!
Conoci esta banda por el tema Destroy Everything You Touch que es parte del soudtrack del fifa 2006 World cup. Suena muy bien en esta sesion
Oye, genial ver gente hispano hablante que le guste ladytron. Si, lo máximo esta banda ⭐
@@luisditaaArgentina presente 🙌 Me encanta Ladytron
This is class
Simply awesome music !!
Bought 604 as it came through the door of my local Indi store ❤
At least you found it at your local store. Here where i live there’s only shit music
Awesome. I love this live performance.
hey , that first song! that really touched me. I found an alternative to Metric. There must be hundreds but I never seen one. I liked this!
Love this vocalist! She's my kinda vibe!
2024❤
Soft power sounds like a depeche mode song. I can hear dave sing in my head. I love ladytron, i love her voice
Really awesome 😍 and a Bit magical 💜🪄🔮
Not surprised that the beginning of Discotraxx is the most replayed part. This live version is so much better than the already-excellent original.
Just my opinion but I love the heavy classic bass line, and mellow electric tunes. A classic sounding band i can pop open a brew and spark a number with a few friends and chill the evening away. ♥️☮️
hello from Armenia I'm a fan of this group
Beautiful!!!
Beautiful. Going to listen again later over A bottle of wine.Tooo much coffee at the moment. 10/ 2020
Thank you
I may actually go back to work and hope these guys turn up on one of stages in the future
. I may even have worked a stage with them in the past! Too Many Stages! Too many bands! How can I possibly remember everything
can't help adoring them
2022...so wonderful!
From the studio albums I never recognized Versus as such a wonderful song. It is now one of my favourites.
Amazing, really amazing band.
They found that sweet spot between soft punk rock and electronic music and road with it.
We love Ladytron
Finally a good band with a good name insetad of the paragraph
Thanks for putting this up
Alot of talent in that little studio ^
Ladytron are fucking brilliant.
Jason Andrew spread the word
The best!
They seem to be exhausted at some point.
Reminded me of Cocteau Twins: they don’t need live performance to sound cool. Although, as those ones, they sound epic as well!
brilliant
I love u Helen
Ladytron is most beautiful band - Ever
Extraordinario!
Another great liverpool band
One of the best ever
Sad to hear that Reuben has left
the host seems slick as fuck, in a cool way
One of the greates electronics bands. They just need more prometion in media
Genius
"Destroy everything you touch" in this version sounds like a Joy Division Song sung by a woman ... I like it.
Yeah I thought that too.
Yeah it takes a lot of thinking about when Daniel is playing that guitar. 🙄
No.
Well, the song is the Love Will Tear Us Apart of the 21st century
