returned to Denver to play the Gothic with Ladytron
this past Tuesday, June 3. This was quite a different
show from their Denver debut at the Hard Rock
Cafe last fall, where they played to a intimate
crowd amongst the smell of hamburgers and fries.
The one thing that did remain
was their intensity and all-around-good-time
level of performance, enticing most of the audience
to shake and pounce to "Bulldozer"
and "Fa-Fa-Fa," not including the
deadbeat standers in the front.
Ket-Ill had
to release himself from the confines of his
red hoodie to make his sax scream, which caused
a number of ladies to scream back.
Ladytron followed with a more
somber set. But the floor was packed to the
gills, full of fans ready to embrace their new
material, including the opening song "Black
Cat" from the album Velocifero
that dropped that day, along with classics "CSKA
Sofia," "Seventeen," and "Destroy
Everything You Touch."
When Ladytron left the stage,
the party was all but over, as fans moved next
door to the Falcon for the Up The Antics Rock
'n' Bowl that offered up free drinks and DJ
skills from Ket-Ill, Fredrik Saroea,
Boyhollow and DJ Danger.
Guys and gals got to try out
the fully decked out Matrix cars parked out
front, which were all equipped with crazy stereo
gear and a Guitar Hero styled music game that
ran out of the back. Bowling types, including
Mira Aroya from Ladytron, got
competitive in the lanes as the party continued
on the other side of Falcon. This is where I
also learned from Tyler (DJ Danger) from Lipgloss
about the new League Night that starts next
Tuesday, June 10 at Falcon.
