Biography
Liverpool, England (1999 – present)
Ladytron” by Roxy Music. According to Brian Eno, once a Roxy Music member, Ladytron are “the best of English pop music”.
Liverpool-based producers and DJs Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu met in the 1990s. Hunt was the founder of the indie record label Invicta Hi-Fi and of a nightclub. Wu trained in Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University and graduated in 1997. He became an industrial designer at Team Consulting Limited until 2002.
Using the moniker Ladytron, Hunt and Wu recorded the debut single “
He Took Her to a Movie” with the guest vocalist Lisa Eriksson (who later formed the band Techno Squirrels). “He Took Her to a Movie” was released in 1999 and became NME Single of the Week. In the summer of 1999, Hunt and Wu met Helen Marnie (born in 1978 in Glasgow, Scotland) and Mira Aroyo (born in 1977 in Sofia, Bulgaria). Marnie and Aroyo joined Ladytron as vocalists and keyboard players. Marnie studied music at the University of Liverpool where she received a Bachelor of Arts in pop music in 1999. Aroyo was a postgraduate research geneticist in the Oxford University’s Biochemistry department.

Honestly, they're my favorite electronica band. Opinion is obviously opinion, and I don't dislike people if they don't like Ladytron, but I don't know what is *not* to get about Ladytron. Deep lyrics, catchy beats, futuristic voices.

Amazing band is amazing. [2] Haters gonna hate. There are very few Ladytron haters anyway. You can hardly find another artist page on Last.fm with so few negative comments in their shoutboxes.
