Something Elusive and Temporary - Ladytron Video and Tour Dates
We are always in pursuit of zen here at MS. So when presented with the dark void of Black Mountain this morning, how are we to preserve balance? With a white mountain, clearly.
Luckily there's a big, anthropomorphic creepy one to be found in the video for "Destroy Everything You Touch". It comes from 2005 career highpoint the Withching Hour by the Liverpool lovelies of Ladytron (and a couple dudes who stand in the background and I dunno, play instruments or something).
Ladytron - "Destroy Everything You Touch"
I guess the White Mountain men represent the cool disconnect of the deadpan vocals? Or maybe paranoid electro pop and piles of white powder just go hand and hand? Either way it's visually interesting.
The band hits the road in March, as you may have read in Pitchfork this morning or a week or two ago on Brooklyn Vegan. That was the way, was the way that I found them:
03-16 Jacksonville, FL - TSI (DJ set)
03-17 Austin, TX - Emo's Annex (Pitchfork/Windish Agency SXSW day party, DJ set)
03-19 Cleveland Heights, OH - B-Side Liquor Lounge (DJ set)
03-24 London, England - Queen Elizabeth Hall (Ether)
03-29 Oslo, Norway - Rockefella
03-31 Palmela, Portugal - Casa Mae Rota dos Vinhos (DJ set)
04-01 Dublin, Ireland - Remedy (DJ set)
04-14 Washington, DC - 9:30 Club
04-15 New York, NY - Irving Plaza
04-16 Philadelphia, PA - Theater of Living Arts
04-17 Boston, MA - Paradise
04-19 Montreal, Quebec - Club Soda
04-20 Toronto, Ontario - Opera House
04-21 Chicago, IL - Metro
04-22 Minneapolis, MN - First Avenue
04-25 Vancouver, British Columbia - Richard's on Richards
04-26 Seattle, WA - Neumos
04-27 Portland, OR - Berbatis Pan
04-28 San Francisco, CA - Mezzanine
04-30 Indio, CA - Empire Polo Field (Coachella)
Got my tickets for the NYC show on my lunch break, but I think my skinny pink tie will have to remain in mothballs. Too soon.
