UK indie-electro band Ladytron come to Australia for their debut live tour, and perform in Perth at the The Bakery Artrage Complex.

Credited with popularising the ill-fated electroclash sound well before the genre even had a name, Ladytron have lived on long after the many bandwagon jumpers fell by the wayside. Their latest album, ‘Velocifero’, was produced by Alessandro Cortini of Nine Inch Nails and Vicarious Bliss of the Ed Banger label.

Swedish electro-pop duo Familjen will be the support act.

Tickets available from inthemix.com.au, pre-sale from 21 July, standard tickets from 24 July.

Barry Adamson (one of the founding members of The Bad Seeds) will perform at The Bakery on Saturday 21 June 2008.

Barry Adamson has been doing things differently ever since he strapped on a bass guitar, scoring the chart single, Shot by Both Sides while playing for ex-Buzzcocks singer Howard Devoto’s Manchester based Magazine as a teenager in late Seventies. When Magazine disbanded, five albums later in 1981, his definitive touch was spotted by Nick Cave of The Birthday Party, with whom he played several times. After that band’s final implosion in 1983, Barry became a founder member of The Bad Seeds, along with Nick Cave, Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld.

Tickets on sale from Heatseeker for $45 + bf.

18+ show, special guests to be announced.
