As you know we've supported LADYHAWKE since the very beginning when Matt & I were both blown away by BACK OF THE VAN. This week we finally got the chance to see her live not once but TWICE. Firstly, at the Apple Store in Soho where she performed intimate performance to a small, but very excited crowd. Then at the Fillmore Irving Plaza on the Perez Hilton tour. For me, the main event was at Irving Plaza (She was equally as good both nights, I just got to dance my ass off better at Irving Plaza!)
Ladyhawke is not only talented but equally endearing. She admitted to being shy and almost shocked by playing for a crowd - which only made us scream louder in support of her. The minute she started to play you'd never know she was shy! She sounds just as good live as on the record, and rocks out twice as hard on the guitar!
The show was fantastic and the crowd was so into it, singing along with every song. My favorites of the night were: the one that started it all - "Back Of The Van","Dusk Till Dawn," which came alive for me live the 'Bang, Bang, Bang on the wall' line causing fist pumping and random banging of objects all round!, and my favorite track from the album, the classic "My Delirium," which incited euphoria in the crowd and closed the show. You can watch all the videos from the show right here!
If you get the chance to catch her on tour please do so and support this amazing new artist, who's debut album LADYHAWKE (available on iTunes now!) is one of my favorite in recent years! - CamilleTickets for the Perez Tour available here. Or see her Down Under!
