The Teenagers present Ladyhawke

We managed to wrangle up Dorian from The Teenagers to share his insider secret for this guest blog. So let’s hear what you know that the rest of us don’t…

My new favourite band ever is called LADYHAWKE. It’s a 26 years old girl who just signed a deal with Modular and i discovered her music a week ago but i’m already a massive fan. I only know 2 songs but they’re always playing on my itunes since i found them. “Paris is burning” reminds me the best of Feist, but in a better and more original way, and “Back Of The Van” is a perfect 80′s pop music anthem. She produced everything by herself and it sounds like Jacques Lu Cont worked with her. Everything is here : strong songs, big choruses, bitterweet melodies…I love it. She’s amazing and you need to listen to her now. I sent her a message on myspace when i first heard her songs and we met yesterday night in London. We went to fun parties and now she just texted me that she’s too hungover to move from bed today. Album will be there in 2008, first single soon.

Mpegthrees removed per Modular’s request. But they’re posted on a billion other blogs. So look around or head over to Hype Machine.

And in case you’ve lost track of whats new with The Teenagers, they have “The world is not fair ep” out now in Japan (Klee Rallye), a US TOUR planned for January ’08, a finished full-length album “Reality Check” due early 2008, and a Gentlemen Drivers “Homecoming” remix featured on Kistuné Maison 5 compilation.
Nice work, guys….
