LADYHAWKE

Sunday's are always boring. Always, always, always. That is until Tim Burgess drops you a message asking if you want a guestlist place for the Ladyhawk gig that's happening that night. Err, duh. Of course we jumped at the chance (but then sauntered with much more cool to the actual event).

Ladyhawke were absolutely amazing live with Pip's blond haired Patti Smith-esqued self resplendent in comparison to the moody, broody black-clad boys who flanked her. Obviously 'Paris is Burning' got the whole crowd foaming at the mouth but even though Academy 2 was packed out the crowd were very much a 'Sunday crowd'- not too much rowdiness but obviously still appreciating the music. The encore made the night, however, with an amaaaaazing version of Free Money followed by the new single My Delirium.

We headed backstage to say hi to Pip and ended up talking to her band about Girls Aloud and err Bitch Slap and Forrest rinsed the rider (by having a bottle of water).

Pip told us that the picture Sarah painted was inspired by iconic 80s posters like the Fame on which I went into rhapsodies over how good Sarah Larnach is (something Pip agreed with). But seriously, I wishwishWISH I could paint even half as good as how that picture turned out (not to mention every other piece of Ladyhawke artwork Sarah also does). Amaaaaazing x2.
Pretty much an amazing night really considering the other alternative was to catch up on Corrie and sleep!
