Wednesday night I went to the Ladytron concert at the House of Blues. They were double-billed with The Faint.
The show was great! Ladytron opened with "Black Cat," which was a strong choice. On some songs, such as "High Rise," the vocals were overpowered by the instruments. Other than that, the band sounded great. The light show was fabulous, although an epileptic's nightmare (lots of flashing and strobe). I ended up liking "Soft Power" and "Seventeen" better live than recorded.
The last song, of course, was "Destroy Everything You Touch." Once again, the vocals were too low, but unlike "High Rise," they weren't completely drowned out and seemed to get stronger. Maybe one of the sound crew adjusted the volume. Also, at the end, a bubble machine in the ceiling turned on! It was a little strange, but when the strobe lights kicked in it was a cool effect.
Speaking of odd touches, right before Ladytron came on ELO's "Livin Thing" was playing over the sound system. I don't know if the band picked what songs to play during the set up or if House of Blues picked songs, but it seemed a little weird....
