Liverpool, United Kingdom (1999 – present)

Ladytron is a contemporary band formed in Liverpool, England. The band takes their name from the song “PlayLadytron” on the 1972 self-titled debut album of the band Roxy Music.

Biography:
Buzzy glam rock fashion plates Ladytron came together in a jet-set miracle in mid-1998. Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu, who lurk in the background playing rhythm boxes and keyboards in the band, settled in Liverpool after a spate of DJ work in Japan and world travel, including a boat trip in Bulgaria where they met vocalist Mira Aroyo. Helen Marnie, who also sings and plays keyboards for the group, also joined them and they began work on their first single, “He Took Her to a Movie”, which was recorded for 50 pounds. The release brought a wave of critical attention with writers extending into jubilant metaphor to describe the band’s unique sound, including one who wrote that they were “…a teasing glimpse of how Britney Spears might have sounded, had she been born in the GDR and a heroin addict.”

Ladytron toured throughout the continent before beginning work on their debut EP, Commodore Rock, which was released in the summer of 2000, providing their fans another foray into the noisy world of early-’80s sound. The studio full-length 604 followed a year later, and gained many positive reviews. 2002 saw the release of Light & Magic and the mix album Softcore Jukebox. The group returned in the summer of 2005 with the PlaySugar, single, which heralded the rock edge of Ladytron’s third album, Witching Hour. Extended Play, which featured remixes of Witching Hour’s singles, arrived the following spring.
