Amazing what an entire day and 1/2 of no server can do!! Sorry we disappeared for as long as we did, but we’ve had a rebirth so now it’s back to catching up with all that is swarming!

To celebrate all things Ladyhawke, we’ve got her latest track, “Paris is Burning“, remixed by Alex Gopher. Another gorgeous track to come from the lovely 80’s influenced, electro-pop New Zealander!

A music-obsessed child, Pip Brown, aka Ladyhawke, was inspired by women of the 1980’s – Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Chrissie Amphlett et al. Prior to Ladyhawke, Pip played lead guitar in a rock band called, ‘Two Lane Blacktop’. She spent loads of time touring New Zealand and Australia, in the back of a clapped out van. They even made it to NYC and played CBGB’s. So it was only fitting that, “Back of the Van”, came about.

The first single, “Paris Is Burning“, will be released on Modular, 30th June, available on CD, 7″ and download, accompanied by remixes from Alex Gopher, Kid Gloves and Peaches. The forthcoming debut album follows close behind, due late summer. Ladyhawke is playing heaps of shows across the U.K. with her touring band and set to play two shows at Glastonbury! Catch her along the way!

Tidbit on Alex Gopher – Besides having once played in a band called, ‘Orange’, with the likes of Etienne de Crécy and both members of the band, Air, Alex Gopher was once asked to create three tracks for the designer Yves St. Laurent’s catwalk show!! tré cool.
