It's been a crazy summer. So crazy I no longer live in Vancouver. Amanda and I have returned to Sydney, Australia for the foreseeable future...more on that later I suppose as the show reviews roll in. But before we left Vancouver we managed to see some shows this summer. First up, we saw Florence + The Machine and The Walkmen at Deer Lake Park back in July. Amanda is a pretty big fan of Florence so this was a show that was definitely her bag. I went along knowing I'd at least [...]

Another manic Monday: ► Monday night dance party alert: New Zealand electro songstress Ladyhawke brings here straight-outta-the-’80s- disco to the Echoplex, where she's joined by American Royalty . That's Ladyhawke's video for "Sunday Driver," above. ► September's incredibly delicious residencies some to a close. Alphabetically, those would be: Kitten at the Bootleg Bar (with Mystery Skulls, Sanglorians and Rumspringa); Lavender Diamond at the Echo (with Diva); and the Lonely Wild at the Satellite (with the Chevin, the Hectors and the Steelwells). ► Big local show [...]
Rare is the noise-punk band who can make old noise sound new again. Recent Sub Pop signings, Metz, may be one such, rare band. "Wet Blanket," does the trick by marrying the fuzz and scuzz of Northwest bands gone by with clanging industrial rock. This one is out October 9th on Sub Pop. MP3: Metz - Wet Blanket - Also coming October 9th, is the third release from Vancouver longhairs, Ladyhawk. "No Can Do," is a stellar example of what these Neil Young and J Mascis devotees do best [...]

Who says Mondays have to always suck? The fine folks at IHEARTCOMIX are making the most boring day of the week possibly the best day of your month next week on the 24th. I’ve been waiting a very long time for this show to roll into town and now we’re finally getting it…Ladyhawke is going to grace LA with her retro-infused dance rock and treat us to jams from her new record “Anxiety.” For those unaware, New Zealand-bred Pip Brown broke onto the scene in 2008 with her synthy self-titled record that merged disco, new wave, indie rock, [...]

A surprisingly dark remix of Ladyhawke's 'Blue Eyes' comes compliments of Alison Wonderland . This remix is devilishly sweet yet deceiving, reflecting the darker side of a Ladyhawke track and revealing the more intense side of Alison Wonderlands musical stylings. Next time you see her playing a party set, don't be mislead, she might be about to draw you into a late night rave. Ladyhawke - Blue Eyes (Alison Wonderland Remix) by Alison Wonderland

Frank Yang It would have been nice to think that the many well-dressed folks milling about on King West Saturday evening were winding their way to The Hoxton, where New Zealand's Pip Browne - aka Ladyhawke - was set to make her first Toronto appearance in almost three years exactly. But no, they were probably just out taking in the final night of TIFF , because The Hoxton was basically empty when I got there. Being an early show with a curfew, waiting around for the more fashionably late wasn't an option [...]

HD video by G. Ladyhawke covering Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"!!! Too good to be true? You decide. I for one, love this cover. Share/Save

At its core, Ladyhawke 's music is edgy pop that demands its listeners sing and dance along. On Monday night, the crowd at Rock and Roll Hotel willingly complied. When Pip Brown, the artist behind Ladyhawke, walked on stage, the first thought that crossed my mind was that it must be a prerequisite to have long, beautiful hair to be a member of her band. Surrounded by her four male bandmates – "the boys," as she has referred to them – Pip took the stage and proceeded to play a show inspiring enough [...]
